Currently nothing prevents preemption in kvm_vcpu_update_apicv. On SVM, If the preemption happens after we update the vcpu->arch.apicv_active, the preemption itself will 'update' the inhibition since the AVIC will be first disabled on vCPU unload and then enabled, when the current task is loaded again. Then we will try to update it again, which will lead to a warning in __avic_vcpu_load, that the AVIC is already enabled. Fix this by disabling preemption in this code.

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.
