Hi Sean!

So assuming that I won't object to making it SVM specific (I still think
that VMX should also inhibit this memslot because this is closer to x86 spec,
but if you really want it this way, I won't fight over it):

I somewhat don't like this inhibit, because now it is used just to say
'I am AVIC'.

What do you think if you just move the code that removes the memslot to SVM,
to avic_set_virtual_apic_mode?

So the apic_access_memslot_enabled currently tracks if the memslot is enabled.
As I see later in the patch when you free the memslot, you set it to false,
which means that if a vCPU is created after that (it can happen in theory),
the memslot will be created again :(

I say we need 'enabled', and 'allocated' booleans instead. Inhibit will set
enabled to false, and then on next vcpu run, that will free the memslot.

when enabled == false, the code needs to be changed to not allocate it again.

You are about to remove the KVM_REQ_UNBLOCK in other patch series.

How about just raising KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE on current vCPU
and having a special case in kvm_vcpu_update_apicv of

if (apic_access_memslot_enabled == false && apic_access_memslot_allocaed == true) {
drop srcu lock
free the memslot
take srcu lock
}
That wasn't possible to do with regular AVIC inhibit as I tried, because it has to be done
before any vCPU re-enters the guest, so the KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE has to be raised
on all vCPUs, and then a 'winning' vCPU would toggle the memslot, but that
would cause a lot of impossible to solve races, thus I abandoned that approach
back then.

Here the accuracy is not that critical so we can raise the request on current vCPU,
as you do in your patch anyway, so it should work.

I will review the rest of the patch series on next Wednesday (after
our holidays).
From a quick glance they look good to me.


Thanks,
