Sean Christopherson e295d2e7fb KVM: x86: Trigger I/O APIC route rescan in kvm_arch_irq_routing_update() 
Trigger the I/O APIC route rescan that's performed for a split IRQ chip
after userspace updates IRQ routes in kvm_arch_irq_routing_update(), i.e.
before dropping kvm->irq_lock.  Calling kvm_make_all_cpus_request() under
a mutex is perfectly safe, and the smp_wmb()+smp_mb__after_atomic() pair
in __kvm_make_request()+kvm_check_request() ensures the new routing is
visible to vCPUs prior to the request being visible to vCPUs.

In all likelihood, commit b053b2aef2 ("KVM: x86: Add EOI exit bitmap
inference") somewhat arbitrarily made the request outside of irq_lock to
avoid holding irq_lock any longer than is strictly necessary.  And then
commit abdb080f7a ("kvm/irqchip: kvm_arch_irq_routing_update renaming
split") took the easy route of adding another arch hook instead of risking
a functional change.

Note, the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited() does NOT provide ordering
guarantees with respect to vCPUs scanning the new routing; as above, the
request infrastructure provides the necessary ordering.  I.e. there's no
need to wait for kvm_scan_ioapic_routes() to complete if it's actively
running, because regardless of whether it grabs the old or new table, the
vCPU will have another KVM_REQ_SCAN_IOAPIC pending, i.e. will rescan again
and see the new mappings.

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 reStructuredText 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.
