From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx> After commit 997acaf6b4b59c (lockdep: report broken irq restoration), the guest splatting below during boot: raw_local_irq_restore() called with IRQs enabled WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 169 at kernel/locking/irqflag-debug.c:10 warn_bogus_irq_restore+0x26/0x30 Modules linked in: hid_generic usbhid hid CPU: 1 PID: 169 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.11.0+ #25 RIP: 0010:warn_bogus_irq_restore+0x26/0x30 Call Trace: kvm_wait+0x76/0x90 __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x285/0x2e0 do_raw_spin_lock+0xc9/0xd0 _raw_spin_lock+0x59/0x70 lockref_get_not_dead+0xf/0x50 __legitimize_path+0x31/0x60 legitimize_root+0x37/0x50 try_to_unlazy_next+0x7f/0x1d0 lookup_fast+0xb0/0x170 path_openat+0x165/0x9b0 do_filp_open+0x99/0x110 do_sys_openat2+0x1f1/0x2e0 do_sys_open+0x5c/0x80 __x64_sys_open+0x21/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x32/0x50 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae The irqflags handling in kvm_wait() which ends up doing: local_irq_save(flags); safe_halt(); local_irq_restore(flags); which triggered a new consistency checking, we generally expect local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() to be pared and sanely nested, and so local_irq_restore() expects to be called with irqs disabled. This patch fixes it by playing local_irq_disable()/enable() directly.
