    KVM: VMX: Consider PID.PIR to determine if vCPU has pending interrupts · 9482ae45

    Commit 17e433b5 ("KVM: Fix leak vCPU's VMCS value into other pCPU")
    introduced vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() in order to determine
    if a vCPU have a pending posted interrupt. This routine is used by
    kvm_vcpu_on_spin() when searching for a a new runnable vCPU to schedule
    on pCPU instead of a vCPU doing busy loop.
    
    vmx_dy_apicv_has_pending_interrupt() determines if a
    vCPU has a pending posted interrupt solely based on PID.ON. However,
    when a vCPU is preempted, vmx_vcpu_pi_put() sets PID.SN which cause
    raised posted interrupts to only set bit in PID.PIR without setting
    PID.ON (and without sending notification vector), as depicted in VT-d
    manual section 5.2.3 "Interrupt-Posting Hardware Operation".
    
    Therefore, checking PID.ON is insufficient to determine if a vCPU has
    pending posted interrupts and instead we should also check if there is
    some bit set on PID.PIR if PID.SN=1.
