[ Upstream commit ecec7c9f29a7114a3e23a14020b1149ea7dffb4f ]
head is defined in idxd->evl as a shadow of head in the EVLSTATUS register.
There are two issues related to the shadow head:
1. Mismatch between the shadow head and the state of the EVLSTATUS
register:
If Event Log is supported, upon completion of the Enable Device command,
the Event Log head in the variable idxd->evl->head should be cleared to
match the state of the EVLSTATUS register. But the variable is not reset
currently, leading mismatch between the variable and the register state.
The mismatch causes incorrect processing of Event Log entries.
2. Unnecessary shadow head definition:
The shadow head is unnecessary as head can be read directly from the
EVLSTATUS register. Reading head from the register incurs no additional
cost because event log head and tail are always read together and
tail is already read directly from the register as required by hardware.
Remove the shadow Event Log head stored in idxd->evl to address the
mentioned issues.

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.
