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 b053b2aef25d ("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 abdb080f7ac8 ("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.
