[PATCH 5.14 104/169] KVM: nVMX: promptly process interrupts delivered while in guest mode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 25 2021 - 15:54:20 EST


From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3a25dfa67fe40f3a2690af2c562e0947a78bd6a0 upstream.

Since commit c300ab9f08df ("KVM: x86: Replace late check_nested_events() hack with
more precise fix") there is no longer the certainty that check_nested_events()
tries to inject an external interrupt vmexit to L1 on every call to vcpu_enter_guest.
Therefore, even in that case we need to set KVM_REQ_EVENT. This ensures
that inject_pending_event() is called, and from there kvm_check_nested_events().
