commit 629d3698f6958ee6f8131ea324af794f973b12ac upstream. When IPI virtualization is enabled, a WARN is triggered if bit12 of ICR MSR is set after APIC-write VM-exit. The reason is kvm_apic_send_ipi() thinks the APIC_ICR_BUSY bit should be cleared because KVM has no delay, but kvm_apic_write_nodecode() doesn't clear the APIC_ICR_BUSY bit. Under the x2APIC section, regarding ICR, the SDM says: It remains readable only to aid in debugging; however, software should not assume the value returned by reading the ICR is the last written value. I.e. the guest is allowed to set bit 12. However, the SDM also gives KVM free reign to do whatever it wants with the bit, so long as KVM's behavior doesn't confuse userspace or break KVM's ABI. Clear bit 12 so that it reads back as '0'. This approach is safer than "do nothing" and is consistent with the case where IPI virtualization is disabled or not supported, i.e., handle_fastpath_set_x2apic_icr_irqoff() -> kvm_x2apic_icr_write() Opportunistically replace the TODO with a comment calling out that eating the write is likely faster than a conditional branch around the busy bit.

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.
