[RFC PATCH v8 01/35] KVM: x86: Open code setting/clearing of bits in the ISR
Posted by Neeraj Upadhyay 3 months ago
Remove __apic_test_and_set_vector() and __apic_test_and_clear_vector(),
because the _only_ register that's safe to modify with a non-atomic
operation is ISR, because KVM isn't running the vCPU, i.e. hardware can't
service an IRQ or process an EOI for the relevant (virtual) APIC.

No functional change intended.
