How about the follow patch? commit a49dd819f502c1029c5a857e87201ef25ec06ce6 Author: Yang Zhang <yang.z.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Apr 17 05:34:07 2013 -0400 KVM: x86: Don't sending posted interrupt if not config CONFIG_SMP In UP, posted interrupt logic will not work. So we should not send posted interrupt and let vcpu to pick the pending interrupt before vmentry.
