I'm thinking this happens if the VCPU is preempted in avic_set_running() after 'svm->avic_is_running = true' and before avic_vcpu_load(). avic_vcpu_load() is then called from both avic_set_running() and svm_vcpu_load(). The warning does not reveal any harmful bug. Disabling preemption in avic_set_running() would allow us to keep the protective warning. (It seems to be slightly better than remembeging and restoring the avic state on sched out/in.) Can you try the following patch? Thanks. diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c index 968f38dcb864..6b123f375d66 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c +++ b/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c @@ -1572,11 +1572,15 @@ static void avic_set_running(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, bool is_run) { struct vcpu_svm *svm = to_svm(vcpu); + preempt_disable(); + svm->avic_is_running = is_run; if (is_run) avic_vcpu_load(vcpu, vcpu->cpu); else avic_vcpu_put(vcpu); + + preempt_enable(); } static void svm_vcpu_reset(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, bool init_event)
