Guests and user space share certain MSRs. KVM sets these MSRs to guest values once and does not set them back to user space values on every VM exit to spare the costly MSR operations. User return notifiers ensure that these MSRs are set back to the correct values before returning to user space in exit_to_usermode_loop(). There is no reason to evaluate the TIF flag indicating that user return notifiers need to be invoked in the loop. The important point is that they are invoked before returning to user space. Move the invocation out of the loop into the section which does the last preperatory steps before returning to user space. That section is not preemptible and runs with interrupts disabled until the actual return.

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.
