Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] xapic: make sure x2APIC -> xapic transition correctly
Date:   Mon,  9 Jan 2023 08:06:03 -0500
Message-Id: <20230109130605.2013555-1-eesposit@redhat.com>

The root cause is kvm_lapic_set_base() failing to handle x2APIC -> xapic ID
switch, which is addressed by patch 1.
Patch 2 provides a selftest to verify this behavior.

This serie is an RFC because I think that commit ef40757743b47 already tries to
fix one such effect of the error made in kvm_lapic_set_base, but I am not sure
how such error described in the commit message is triggered, nor how to
reproduce it using a selftest. I don't think one can enable/disable x2APIC using
KVM_SET_LAPIC, and kvm_lapic_set_base() in kvm_apic_set_state() just takes care
of updating apic->base_address, since value == old_value.
The test in patch 2 fails with the fix in ef40757743b47.

Thank you,
Emanuele
