Hi Paolo/Radim,

I was a bit behind on catching up with the AVIC stuff the past couple weeks. Thank you for the help cleaning up on this patch and pulling this in to your tree. I can see now that it has been pulled into the 4.7-rc1. I really appreciate your help.

Please see a minor comment below.

When a vcpu is loaded/unloaded to a physical core, we need to update
host physical APIC ID information in the Physical APIC-ID table
accordingly.

Also, when vCPU is blocking/un-blocking (due to halt instruction),
we need to make sure that the is-running bit in set accordingly in the
physical APIC-ID table.

I think this is the only patch that needs a little more work, because
there are a bunch of unused return values that really should be
WARN_ON.  In addition the load and put cases are different enough that
they should be separate functions.

Can you please test this?

The two functions now have the same signature as their callers,
svm_vcpu_load and svm_vcpu_put.

Radim, does this look sane?  I plan to include it in my pull request
(I'm running AMD autotest now and it passed the first few tests).

Thanks,

Paolo



I have also tested the changes in the 4.7-rc1 on the CZ hardware w/ AVIC and everything looks good.

As for the nested virtualization. Currently, this is not working with AVIC enabled on the host, but it works fine w/ AVIC disabled. I'll look into enabling nested virtualization w/ AVIC enable next.

Thank you for all your help,
Suravee
