Just use an u64 for old_control and new_control, instead of a full struct. > > + pi_clear_sn(&new); This can be simply new.sn = 0. It does not need atomic operations. Same in patch 24 (if needed at all there---see the reply there). > > + if (irq_remapping_cap(IRQ_POSTING_CAP)) { > + struct pi_desc *pi_desc = vcpu_to_pi_desc(vcpu); > + struct pi_desc old, new; > + > + memset(&old, 0, sizeof(old)); > + memset(&new, 0, sizeof(new)); > + Here you do not need old/new at all because... > + if (vcpu->preempted) { > + do { > + old.control = new.control = pi_desc->control; > + pi_set_sn(&new); > + } while (cmpxchg(&pi_desc->control, old.control, > + new.control) != old.control); this can do pi_set_sn directly on pi_desc, without the cmpxchg.
