Parts of the posted interrupt descriptor configure host behavior, such as the notification vector and destination. Overwriting them with zero as done during vCPU reset breaks posted interrupts. KVM (re-)writes these fields on certain occasions and belatedly fixes the situation in many cases. However, if you have a guest configured with "idle=poll", for example, the fields might stay zero forever. Do not reset the full descriptor in vmx_vcpu_reset(). Instead, reset only the outstanding notifications and leave everything else untouched. Signed-off-by: Jan H. Schönherr <jschoenh@amazon.de> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
