[PATCH 1/2] KVM: VMX: Assert that IRQs are disabled when putting vCPU on PI wakeup list
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Apr 01 2025 - 11:54:06 EST
Assert that IRQs are already disabled when putting a vCPU on a CPU's PI
wakeup list, as opposed to saving/disabling+restoring IRQs. KVM relies on
IRQs being disabled until the vCPU task is fully scheduled out, i.e. until
the scheduler has dropped all of its per-CPU locks (e.g. for the runqueue),
as attempting to wake the task while it's being scheduled out could lead
to deadlock.
