[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86: APICv fixes
Posted by Sean Christopherson 4 years ago
Patch 1 is brown paper bag fix for a copy+paste bug (thankfully from this
cycle).

Patch 2 fixes a nVMX + APICv bug where KVM essentially corrupts vmcs02 if
an APICv update arrives while L2 is running.  Found when testing a slight
variation of patch 3.

Patch 3 fixes a race where an APICv update that occurs while a vCPU is
being created will fail to notify that vCPU due it not yet being visible
to the updater.

Patch 4 is a minor optimization/cleanup found by inspection when digging
into everything else.

v2:
  - Collect reviews. [Maxim]
  - Reword patch 2's changelog to make it clear that ignoring vmcs02
    is perfectly ok. [Maxim]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220416034249.2609491-3-seanjc@google.com

Sean Christopherson (4):
  KVM: x86: Tag APICv DISABLE inhibit, not ABSENT, if APICv is disabled
  KVM: nVMX: Defer APICv updates while L2 is active until L1 is active
  KVM: x86: Pend KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE during vCPU creation to fix a race
  KVM: x86: Skip KVM_GUESTDBG_BLOCKIRQ APICv update if APICv is disabled
