Yes.

But this means we have to revise hadware_setup() to get 'kvm' inside,

This would not even be possible, since hardware_setup() is only called once.

Yeah.


However, for the only caller of hwapic_isr_update (but presumably all of
them, as is the case for hwapic_irr_update), you already know that

There are two other callers to hwapic_isr_update(), apic_set_isr() and apic_clear_isr(), but I think they still work here.

irqchip_in_kernel(kvm) is true.  You are in kvm_apic_post_state_restore,
which takes a kvm_lapic_state, and no lapic exists if
!irqchip_in_kernel(kvm).

(Yes, irqchip_in_kernel) is a bit weird and tests pic_irqchip(kvm)
instead, but it's the same.  It tests pic_irqchip(kvm) only because the
LAPIC is per-cpu and irqchip_in_kernel takes a struct kvm).

So it's possible to NULL out hwapic_isr_update in hardware_setup.  It
simply shouldn't happen that you call hwapic_isr_update without the
in-kernel irqchip.  The kernel knows nothing about ISR/IRR without the
in-kernel irqchip.

Thanks for your kind elaboration which always benefits me.

What about this revision as follows?

 kvm: x86: vmx: NULL out hwapic_isr_update() in case of !enable_apicv

In most cases calling hwapic_isr_update(), we always check if
kvm_apic_vid_enabled() == 1, but actually,
kvm_apic_vid_enabled()
    -> kvm_x86_ops->vm_has_apicv()
        -> vmx_vm_has_apicv() or '0' in svm case
            -> return enable_apicv && irqchip_in_kernel(kvm)

So its a little cost to recall vmx_vm_has_apicv() inside
hwapic_isr_update(), here just NULL out hwapic_isr_update() in
case of !enable_apicv inside hardware_setup() then make all
related stuffs follow this. Note we don't check this under that
condition of irqchip_in_kernel() since we should make sure
definitely any caller don't work  without in-kernel irqchip.

I can send out as a patch if we have on any objections.

Thanks
