    KVM: VMX: Don't do full kick when triggering posted interrupt "fails" · 0f65a9d3
    Sean Christopherson 提交于
    Replace the full "kick" with just the "wake" in the fallback path when
    triggering a virtual interrupt via a posted interrupt fails because the
    guest is not IN_GUEST_MODE.  If the guest transitions into guest mode
    between the check and the kick, then it's guaranteed to see the pending
    interrupt as KVM syncs the PIR to IRR (and onto GUEST_RVI) after setting
    IN_GUEST_MODE.  Kicking the guest in this case is nothing more than an
    unnecessary VM-Exit (and host IRQ).
    
    Opportunistically update comments to explain the various ordering rules
    and barriers at play.
