Don't use request-less VCPU kicks when injecting IRQs, as a VCPU kick meant to trigger the interrupt injection could be sent while the VCPU is outside guest mode, which means no IPI is sent, and after it has called kvm_vgic_flush_hwstate(), meaning it won't see the updated GIC state until its next exit some time later for some other reason. The receiving VCPU only needs to check this request in VCPU RUN to handle it. By checking it, if it's pending, a memory barrier will be issued that ensures all state is visible.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
