Don't you have to undo kvm_inject_realmode_interrupt if injection fails?



Injection cannot fail (at least, in the same sense as the vmx injections). It's actually not about failures, it's about guest entry being cancelled due to a signal or some KVM_REQ that needs attention. For vmx style injections, we need to undo the injection to keep things in a consistent state. To realmode emulated injection, everything is in a consistent state already, so no need to undo anything (it's also impossible, since we overwrote memory on the stack).

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
