Actually external_intr variable in nested_vmx_vmexit() is the req_int_win variable passed from vcpu_enter_guest() which means that the L0's userspace requests an irq window. I observed the scenario (!kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) && L0's userspace reqeusts an irq window) is true, so there is no interrupt which L1 requires to inject to L2, we should not attempt to emualte "Acknowledge interrupt on exit" for the irq window requirement in this scenario. SDM says that with acknowledge interrupt on exit, bit 31 of the VM-exit interrupt information (valid interrupt) is always set to 1 on EXIT_REASON_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT. We don't want to break hypervisors expecting an interrupt in that case, so we should do a userspace VM exit when the window is open and then inject the userspace interrupt with a VM exit.
