There is a case when you get to kvm_vcpu_block with kvm_halt_in_guest, which is when the guest disables asynchronous page faults. Currently, timer interrupts are delivered while apf.halted = true, with this change they wouldn't. I would just disable KVM_REQ_APF_HALT in kvm_can_do_async_pf if kvm_halt_in_guest is true, let me send a patch for that later. When you do this, I think you don't need the kvm_x86_ops->pi_inject_timer_enabled check at all, because if we know that the vCPU cannot be asleep in kvm_vcpu_block, then we can inject the timer interrupt immediately with __apic_accept_irq (if APICv is disabled, it will set IRR and do kvm_make_request + kvm_vcpu_kick). You can keep the module parameter, mostly for debugging reasons, but please move it from kvm-intel to kvm, and add something like diff --git a/kernel/sched/isolation.c b/kernel/sched/isolation.c index 123ea07a3f3b..1cc7973c382e 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/isolation.c +++ b/kernel/sched/isolation.c @@ -14,6 +14,11 @@ static cpumask_var_t housekeeping_mask; static unsigned int housekeeping_flags; +bool housekeeping_enabled(enum hk_flags flags) +{ + return !!(housekeeping_flags & flags); +} + int housekeeping_any_cpu(enum hk_flags flags) { if (static_branch_unlikely(&housekeeping_overridden)) so that the default for the module parameter can be housekeeping_enabled(HK_FLAG_TIMER).
