Paolo Bonzini 8b306e2f3c KVM: VMX: avoid double list add with VT-d posted interrupts
In some cases, for example involving hot-unplug of assigned
devices, pi_post_block can forget to remove the vCPU from the
blocked_vcpu_list.  When this happens, the next call to
pi_pre_block corrupts the list.

Fix this in two ways.  First, check vcpu->pre_pcpu in pi_pre_block
and WARN instead of adding the element twice in the list.  Second,
always do the list removal in pi_post_block if vcpu->pre_pcpu is
set (not -1).

The new code keeps interrupts disabled for the whole duration of
pi_pre_block/pi_post_block.  This is not strictly necessary, but
easier to follow.  For the same reason, PI.ON is checked only
after the cmpxchg, and to handle it we just call the post-block
code.  This removes duplication of the list removal code.

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.
