Hi!
For me it hangs when windows enables the autoeoi for the first time.
I use 5.13-rc3 kernel with kvm/queue merged, your patches and some my patches
that shouldn't affect things.

It *should* work, but as it is always with locking,
if something changes, the assumption that MSR write
is called with SRCU held only on guest initiated writes
might be not true anymore.
Honestly I don't like the workaround that drops the lock in
svm_toggle_avic_for_irq_window either for the same reason.

Adding Suravee Suthikulpanit to CC.
I tested it again and indeed I only see a burst of kvm_request_apicv_update
which ends when Windows enables IO apic
(this is a result of svm_toggle_avic_for_irq_window)
The AVIC disable due to SynIC autoeoi also happens I think
once per VCPU (I didn't verify this) and that is it.
So yes I do vote to make APICV update done in safer manner
as you suggest.
BTW I forgot about another reason that disables AVIC
The 'kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard' has to be set,
since otherwise the in-kernel PIT reinject code relies
on EOI interception and thus disables AVIC as well.
