This nmi stuff was needed for synchronous aborts that may have interrupted
APEI's interrupts-masked code. We want to avoid trying to take the same set of
locks, hence taking the in_nmi() path through APEI. Here we know we interrupted
a guest, so there is no risk that we have interrupted APEI on the host.
ghes_notify_sea() can safely take the normal path.
Makes sense, I can remove the nmi_* calls here.
Just occurs to me: if we do this we need to add the rcu_read_lock() in
ghes_notify_sea() as its not protected by the rcu/nmi weirdness.
True, would you suggest leaving these nmi_* calls or adding the rcu_*
calls? And since that's only needed for this KVM case, shouldn't the
rcu_* calls just replace the nmi_* calls here (outside of ghes_notify_sea)?
Thanks,
Tyler
