For an event to be in injected state when nested_svm_vmrun executes, it must have come from exitintinfo when svm_complete_interrupts ran: vcpu_enter_guest static_call(kvm_x86_run) -> svm_vcpu_run svm_complete_interrupts // now the event went from "exitintinfo" to "injected" static_call(kvm_x86_handle_exit) -> handle_exit svm_invoke_exit_handler vmrun_interception nested_svm_vmrun However, no event could have been in exitintinfo before a VMRUN vmexit. The code in svm.c is a bit more permissive than the one in vmx.c: if (is_external_interrupt(svm->vmcb->control.exit_int_info) && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_EXCP_BASE + PF_VECTOR && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_NPF && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_TASK_SWITCH && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_INTR && exit_code != SVM_EXIT_NMI) but in any case, a VMRUN instruction would not even start to execute during an attempted event delivery.
