Preempt can occur in the preemption timer expiration handler:
CPU0 CPU1
preemption timer vmexit
handle_preemption_timer(vCPU0)
kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer
hv_timer_is_use == true
sched_out
sched_in
kvm_arch_vcpu_load
kvm_lapic_restart_hv_timer
restart_apic_timer
start_hv_timer
already-expired timer or sw timer triggerd
in the window
start_sw_timer
cancel_hv_timer
/* back in kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer */
cancel_hv_timer
WARN_ON(!apic->lapic_timer.hv_timer_in_use); ==>
Oops
This can be reproduced if CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled.

This patch fixes it by making the caller of start_hv_timer and start_sw_timer
be in preemption-disabled regions, which trivially avoid any reentrancy
issue with preempt notifier.
