commit d83c36d822be44db4bad0c43bea99c8908f54117 upstream. Add a helper to retrieve the highest pending vector given a Posted Interrupt descriptor. While the actual operation is straightforward, it's surprisingly easy to mess up, e.g. if one tries to reuse lapic.c's find_highest_vector(), which doesn't work with PID.PIR due to the APIC's IRR and ISR component registers being physically discontiguous (they're 4-byte registers aligned at 16-byte intervals). To make PIR handling more consistent with respect to IRR and ISR handling, return -1 to indicate "no interrupt pending".

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 reStructuredText 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.
