If svm_deliver_avic_intr is called just after the target vcpu's AVIC got inhibited, it might read a stale value of vcpu->arch.apicv_active which can lead to the target vCPU not noticing the interrupt. To fix this use load-acquire/store-release so that, if the target vCPU is IN_GUEST_MODE, we're guaranteed to see a previous disabling of the AVIC. If AVIC has been disabled in the meanwhile, proceed with the KVM_REQ_EVENT-based delivery. Incomplete IPI vmexit has the same races as svm_deliver_avic_intr, and in fact it can be handled in exactly the same way; the only difference lies in who has set IRR, whether svm_deliver_interrupt or the processor. Therefore, svm_complete_interrupt_delivery can be used to fix incomplete IPI vmexits as well.

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.
