Yes, sorry I haven't replied yet. Looks like Linus is doing an -rc8 so
there's plenty of time to have it in 5.9.

The thing I'm wondering is, why is svm_update_pi_irte doing anything if
you don't have AVIC enabled? In other word, this might not be the root
cause of the bug. You always get to the "else" branch of the loop of
course, and I'm not sure how irq_set_vcpu_affinity returns something
with pi.prev_ga_tag set.

Thanks,

Paolo
