Generic x86 code invokes the kvm_x86_ops external interrupt handler on all VM-Exits regardless of the actual exit type. Use the already-cached EXIT_REASON to determine if the VM-Exit was due to an interrupt, thus avoiding an extra VMREAD (to query VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO) for all other types of VM-Exit. In addition to avoiding the extra VMREAD, checking the EXIT_REASON instead of VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO makes it more obvious that vmx_handle_external_intr() is called for all VM-Exits, e.g. someone unfamiliar with the flow might wonder under what condition(s) VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO does not contain a valid interrupt, which is simply not possible since KVM always runs with "ack interrupt on exit". WARN once if VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO doesn't contain a valid interrupt on an EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT VM-Exit, as such a condition would indicate a hardware bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
