Thanks for the reply.
May I ask what is the correct/practical way of using KVM_INTERRUPT ABI
for pure-userspace irqchip.
gVisor is indeed a pure-userspace irqchip, it will call KVM_INTERRUPT
when kvm_run->ready_for_interrupt_injection=1 (along with other conditions
unrelated to our discussion).
https://github.com/google/gvisor/blob/a9441aea2780da8c93da1c73da860219f98438de/pkg/sentry/platform/kvm/bluepill_amd64_unsafe.go#L105
if kvm_run->ready_for_interrupt_injection=1 when expection pending or
EFLAGS.IF=0, it would be unexpected for gVisor.
Thanks
