When delivering a virtual interrupt, don't actually send a posted interrupt if the target vCPU is also the currently running vCPU and is IN_GUEST_MODE, in which case the interrupt is being sent from a VM-Exit fastpath and the core run loop in vcpu_enter_guest() will manually move the interrupt from the PIR to vmcs.GUEST_RVI. IRQs are disabled while IN_GUEST_MODE, thus there's no possibility of the virtual interrupt being sent from anything other than KVM, i.e. KVM won't suppress a wake event from an IRQ handler (see commitfdba608f15, "KVM: VMX: Wake vCPU when delivering posted IRQ even if vCPU == this vCPU"). Eliding the posted interrupt restores the performance provided by the combination of commits379a3c8ee4("KVM: VMX: Optimize posted-interrupt delivery for timer fastpath") and26efe2fd92("KVM: VMX: Handle preemption timer fastpath").

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.
