But it still feels wrong poking into those details, e.g. it'll be weird and/or wrong guest_exit_irqoff() gains stuff that isn't vtime specific. Maybe that will never happen though? And of course, my hack alternative also pokes into the details[*]. Thomas, do you have an input on the least awful way to handle this? My horrible hack was to force PF_VCPU around the window where KVM handles IRQs after guest exit. diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c index d9f931c63293..6ddf341cd755 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/x86.c @@ -9118,6 +9118,13 @@ static int vcpu_enter_guest(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu) vcpu->mode = OUTSIDE_GUEST_MODE; smp_wmb(); + /* + * Temporarily pretend this task is running a vCPU when potentially + * processing an IRQ exit, including the below opening of an IRQ + * window.
