[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: SVM: Disable posted interrupts for odd IRQs

From: Alexander Graf
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 09:35:56 EST


We can easily route hardware interrupts directly into VM context when
they target the "Fixed" or "LowPriority" delivery modes.

However, on modes such as "SMI" or "Init", we need to go via KVM code
to actually put the vCPU into a different mode of operation, so we can
not post the interrupt

Add code in the SVM PI logic to explicitly refuse to establish posted
mappings for advanced IRQ deliver modes. This reflects the logic in
__apic_accept_irq() which also only ever passes Fixed and LowPriority
interrupts as posted interrupts into the guest.

This fixes a bug I have with code which configures real hardware to
inject virtual SMIs into my guest.

v1 -> v2:

- Make error message more unique
- Update commit message to point to __apic_accept_irq()
