The injection process of smi has two steps:
Qemu KVM
Step1:
cpu->interrupt_request &= \
~CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI;
kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cpu, KVM_SMI)
call kvm_vcpu_ioctl_smi() and
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_SMI, vcpu);
Step2:
kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cpu, KVM_RUN, 0)
call process_smi() if
kvm_check_request(KVM_REQ_SMI, vcpu) is
true, mark vcpu->arch.smi_pending = true;
The vcpu->arch.smi_pending will be set true in step2, unfortunately if
vcpu paused between step1 and step2, the kvm_run->immediate_exit will be
set and vcpu has to exit to Qemu immediately during step2 before mark
vcpu->arch.smi_pending true.
During VM migration, Qemu will get the smi pending status from KVM using
KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS ioctl at the downtime, then the smi pending status
will be lost.

README
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.
