With the commit 3743c2f02517 ("KVM: x86: inhibit APICv/AVIC on changes to APIC ID or APIC base"),
APICV/AVIC is now inhibit when the guest kernel boots w/ option "nox2apic" or "x2apic_phys"
due to APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_APIC_ID_MODIFIED.

These cases used to work. In theory, we should be able to allow AVIC works in this case.
Is there a way to modify logic in kvm_lapic_xapic_id_updated() to allow these use cases
to work w/ APICv/AVIC?

This seems very strange, I assume you test the kvm/queue of today,

Yes

which contains a fix for a typo I had in the list of inhibit reasons
(commit 5bdae49fc2f689b5f896b54bd9230425d3643dab - KVM: SEV: fix misplaced closing parenthesis)

Yes

Could you share more details on the test? How many vCPUs in the guest, is x2apic exposed to the guest?

With the problem happens w/ 257 vCPUs or more (i.e. vcpu ID 0x100).

Looking through the code the the __x2apic_disable, touches the MSR_IA32_APICBASE so I would expect
the APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_APIC_BASE_MODIFIED inhibit to be triggered and not APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_APIC_ID_MODIFIED


I don't see yet how the x2apic_phys can trigger these inhibits.

When I add WARN_ON_ONCE at the point when we set the APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_APIC_ID_MODIFIED,
I get this call stack.
