    KVM: x86: request interrupt window when IRQ chip is split · 62a193ed
    Matt Gingell authored
    Before this patch, we incorrectly enter the guest without requesting an
    interrupt window if the IRQ chip is split between user space and the
    kernel.
    
    Because lapic_in_kernel no longer implies the PIC is in the kernel, this
    patch tests pic_in_kernel to determining whether an interrupt window
    should be requested when entering the guest.
    
    If the APIC is in the kernel and we request an interrupt window the
    guest will return immediately. If the APIC is masked the guest will not
    not make forward progress and unmask it, leading to a loop when KVM
    reenters and requests again. This patch adds a check to ensure the APIC
    is ready to accept an interrupt before requesting a window.
