Is this missing a wakeup?

Do you actually need this function?  It seems to me that everywhere you
call it you already have an ivcpu, so you can just access the field.

Also, "reply_waiting" means "there is a reply that is waiting".  What
you mean is "waiting_for_reply".

The overall structure of the jobs code is confusing.  The same function
kvm_run_jobs_and_wait is an infinite loop before and gets a "break"
later.  It is also not clear why kvmi_job_wait is called through a job.
 Can you have instead just kvm_run_jobs in KVM_REQ_INTROSPECTION, and
something like this instead when sending an event:

int kvmi_wait_for_reply(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	struct kvmi_vcpu *ivcpu = IVCPU(vcpu);

	while (ivcpu->waiting_for_reply) {
		kvmi_run_jobs(vcpu);

		err = swait_event_killable(*wq,
				!ivcpu->waiting_for_reply ||
				!list_empty(&ivcpu->job_list));

		if (err)
			return -EINTR;
	}

	return 0;
}

?
