KVM: x86: Fix lapic timer interrupt lost after loading a snapshot.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When running android emulator (which is based on QEMU 2.12) on
certain Intel hosts with kernel version 6.3-rc1 or above, guest
will freeze after loading a snapshot. This is almost 100%
reproducible. By default, the android emulator will use snapshot
to speed up the next launching of the same android guest. So
this breaks the android emulator badly.

I tested QEMU 8.0.4 from Debian 12 with an Ubuntu 22.04 guest by
running command "loadvm" after "savevm". The same issue is
observed. At the same time, none of our AMD platforms is impacted.
More experiments show that loading the KVM module with
"enable_apicv=false" can workaround it.

The issue started to show up after commit 8e6ed96 ("KVM: x86:
fire timer when it is migrated and expired, and in oneshot mode").
However, as is pointed out by Sean Christopherson, it is introduced
by commit 967235d ("KVM: vmx: clear pending interrupts on
KVM_SET_LAPIC"). commit 8e6ed96 ("KVM: x86: fire timer when
it is migrated and expired, and in oneshot mode") just makes it
easier to hit the issue.

Having both commits, the oneshot lapic timer gets fired immediately
inside the KVM_SET_LAPIC call when loading the snapshot. On Intel
platforms with APIC virtualization and posted interrupt processing,
this eventually leads to setting the corresponding PIR bit. However,
the whole PIR bits get cleared later in the same KVM_SET_LAPIC call
by apicv_post_state_restore. This leads to timer interrupt lost.

The fix is to move vmx_apicv_post_state_restore to the beginning of
the KVM_SET_LAPIC call and rename to vmx_apicv_pre_state_restore.
What vmx_apicv_post_state_restore does is actually clearing any
former apicv state and this behavior is more suitable to carry out
in the beginning.
