Turns out I don't need nesting or my own VMM to reproduce this; all I
need to do is boot a guest in qemu with split-irqchip and 'noapic' on
the guest command line. It locks up before getting to a login prompt,
every time.

qemu-system-x86_64 -serial mon:stdio -machine q35,accel=kvm,kernel-irqchip=split -m 2G -display none -drive file=foo.qcow2,if=virtio

Commit 782d422bc ("KVM: x86: split kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection
out of dm_request_for_irq_injection") made dm_request_for_irq_injection()
return true even when kvm_cpu_has_interrupt() is true.

So we enable the vmexit on interrupt window because userspace asked for
it, but then kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection() returns false,
causing us *not* to exit all the way to userspace but just to loop in
vcpu_run() instead.

But we *didn't* have an injectable interrupt from the kernel, so we
just go straight back into the guest, vmexit again, loop again, ad
infinitum.

This appears to fix it:

Interrupt window exiting explicitly has priority over virtual interrupt delivery,
so this is correct from that perspective.

But I wonder if would make sense to be more precise so that KVM behavior is
consistent for APICv and legacy IRQ injection.  If the LAPIC is in-kernel,
KVM_INTERRUPT can only be used for EXTINT; whether or not there's an IRQ in the
LAPIC should be irrelevant when deciding to exit to userspace.  Note, the
reinjection check covers vcpu->arch.interrupt.injected for the case where LAPIC
is in userspace.

	return kvm_arch_interrupt_allowed(vcpu) &&
	       (!lapic_in_kernel(vcpu) || !kvm_cpu_has_extint(vcpu)) &&
	       !kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu) &&
	       kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu);
}

I think it should be used for injecting Xen event channel vectors too,
shouldn't it? Those have their own EOI/mask mechanism and shouldn't be
injected through the LAPIC (for example by simulating MSI to the
appropriate APIC+vector) because the guest won't EOI them there.

Although to all extents and purposes that basically means we *are*
treating them like ExtINT.

Not that it makes a difference to the outcome right now, although there
was once a patch floating around to allow KVM_INTERRUPT even when the
PIC was in-kernel, precisely for that reason.

Makes sense. I'm putting this version through some testing and will
post it later...

Hm, that survived enough test iterations to persuade me to post it, but
then seems to have fallen over later. I'm reverting to the
kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr() version to leave that one running too and
be sure it's gone in that.

Without either patch it's 100% repeatable, and will happen as soon as
the 'noapic' guest enabled lapic timer interrupts. I'm not sure I see
why your version would simply make it less frequent...

!kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr(vcpu) boils down (assuming no nested virt) to

         if (!lapic_in_kernel(v))
                 return !v->arch.interrupt.injected;

         if (kvm_cpu_has_extint(v))
                 return 0;

         return 1;

and Sean's proposal instead is the same indeed (the first "if" doesn't 
matter), so there may be more than one bug.

But it turns out that with some more inlining and Boolean algebra, we 
can actually figure out what the code does. :)  I had just finished 
writing a looong review of your patch starting from that idea, so I'll 
post it.

FWIW I've just reproduced that hang on one of the iterations *without*
"noapic" on its command line at all; this one was just with
'clearcpuid=450'. That's clearing the ARAT bit to force it to use the
HPET+MSI for timers.

The earlier one that had failed was 'noapic clearcpuid=450'. So that
one looks like a separate bug, and I get to go frown at our HPET
emulation instead. It probably wasn't a failure of the fix we're
looking at here.

I'm going to go and check if I can reproduce that even with the in-
kernel irqchip mode, and claim it's someone else's problem for now :)

Neat. Your version, once I made it build, ought to be functionally
identical to the one I posted; just a bit neater.

Although I do kind of like the symmetry of my original version using
kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr(), which is the condition used in
vcpu_enter_guest() for enabling the interrupt window vmexit in the
first place. It makes sense for those to match.

We enable the irq window if kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr() or if
userspace asks. And when the exit happens, we feed it to userspace
unless kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr().

If we go with your simpler version, I wonder if it makes sense to make
similar changes to the conditions in vcpu_enter_guest() to make it
clearer that they match?

In inject_pending_event, actually.

However there's also an interrupt window request in vcpu_enter_guest():

         bool req_int_win =
                 dm_request_for_irq_injection(vcpu) &&
                 kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(vcpu);

and this one definitely should indeed stay in sync with 
kvm_vcpu_ready_for_interrupt_injection.  This gives an even neater 
version of the patch:

since the call to kvm_event_needs_reinjection(vcpu) isn't really needed 
(maybe it was when Matt sent his original patches, but since then 
inject_pending_event has seen a significant overhaul).

Now this second possibility is very similar to Sean's suggestion, but 
it's actually code that I can understand.

What I don't like about it is that kvm_cpu_has_injectable_intr() has the 
more complicated handling of APIC interrupts.  By definition they don't 
matter here, we're considering whether to exit to userspace.
