Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Load the EOI-exit bitmap into vmcs01, not the active VMCS
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 11:30:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017093016.32348-2-amirmohammad.eftekhar@cispa.de> (raw)

vmx_load_eoi_exitmap() writes EOI_EXIT_BITMAP0..3 directly with
vmcs_write64() and, unlike its siblings vmx_hwapic_isr_update() and
vmx_sync_pir_to_irr(),
does not take guard(vmx_vmcs01).  The EOI-exit bitmap belongs to L1's APIC,
but with nested virtual-interrupt-delivery an L2 can be active when KVM
refreshes it (e.g. via kvm_vcpu_reload_apic_access_page() /
vcpu_scan_ioapic()), so the writes land in vmcs02 instead of vmcs01: L2's
EOI-exit bitmap is corrupted and vmcs01's is left stale until the next L1
refresh.

Add guard(vmx_vmcs01), matching the sibling APICv callbacks.
