KVM: IOAPIC: Fix level-triggered irq injection hang
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked. In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted. However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service (i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set) The issue with this is that when the currently executing interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted, but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled, no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is not re-injected. This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an 8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying" changes.
