There's a comment below: it might be safe but we do not bother: no easy way to know which interrupt has higher priority. In my testing more than one bit almost never happens in practice so not worth optimizing for. > > > + /* Cache not set: safe but we don't bother. */ > > + unlikely(apic->isr_cache == -1) || > > + /* Need EOI to update ioapic. */ > > + unlikely(kvm_ioapic_handles_vector(vcpu->kvm, apic->isr_cache))) > > + return; > > + > > + pv_eoi_set_pending(apic->vcpu); > > +} > > + > apic_sync_pv_eoi_to_guest() is not paired with > apic_sync_pv_eoi_from_guest() if event injection is canceled. > You can enter guest with stale pv_eoi bit. Never. The pv_eoi bit is cleared on each exit. It will stay cleared unless we set it here.
