I can also reproduce this easily with Linux as L1 by "slowing it down"
eg. running with ept = 0

I suggest changing the subject to -
KVM: nVMX: Fix race that incorrectly injects L1's irq to L2

What's current "log" ? Do you mean current "code" ?

Is to_vmx() necessary since we alredy have the vmx pointer ?

Also, I am wondering isn't it enough to just do this to avoid this race ?

 static int vmx_interrupt_allowed(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
 {
-       return (!to_vmx(vcpu)->nested.nested_run_pending &&
+       return (!is_guest_mode(vcpu) &&
+               !to_vmx(vcpu)->nested.nested_run_pending &&
                vmcs_readl(GUEST_RFLAGS) & X86_EFLAGS_IF) &&
                !(vmcs_read32(GUEST_INTERRUPTIBILITY_INFO) &
