What does "goto out" mean? Inject successfully or fail? According the
value of ret which is set to ture here, it means inject successfully but
i = -1.


Oh, I didn't notice 'ret' is initialized to true, I thought it was initialized
to false like another function, I should add a "ret = false' here. We should
failed to inject the interrupt since hardware disabled LAPIC is found.

I remember we have discussed that even the LAPIC is software disabled,
it still can respond to some interrupts like INIT, NMI, SMI, and SIPI
messages. Isn't current logic still problematically?

I don't think there are problems, here we only cover lowest-priority mode.

Does Intel SDM said those interrupts cannot be delivered on lowest-priority mode?

CC Jun.

Hi Jun,

Do you know whether INIT, NMI, SMI, and SIPI can be delivered through lowest-priority mode? I didn't find SDM says no.
