And comes here and vcpu->arch.interrupt.injected is true for there is
an interrupt queued by KVM_INTERRUPT for pure user irqchip. It then does
the injection of the interrupt without checking the EFLAGS.IF.

Ok, understood now. Yeah, that could be a problem for userspace irqchip so we should switch it to use pending_external_vector instead. Are you going to write the patch or should I?

Thanks!

My question is that what stops the next call to inject_pending_event()
to reach here when KVM_INTERRUPT is called with exepction pending.
