The regression occurs because KVM_REQ_EVENT is always set when nested_run_pending is set even if there's no pending interrupt. Consequently, there could be a small window when check_nested_events returns without exiting to L1, but an interrupt comes through soon after and it incorrectly, gets injected to L2 by inject_pending_event Fix this by adding a call to check for nested events too when a check for injectable interrupt returns true Signed-off-by: Bandan Das --- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c index 73537ec..56327a6 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c @@ -5907,6 +5907,19 @@ static int inject_pending_event(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, bool req_int_win) kvm_x86_ops->set_nmi(vcpu); } } else if (kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr(vcpu)) { + /* + * TODO/FIXME: We are calling check_nested_events again + * here to avoid a race condition.
