We need to have an extra condition just because of this print ...
I removed the print altogether when applying -- I thought more about
that and it was aimed at people who wonder why AVIC was suddenly
disabled and it's unlikely that they will enable a debug message without
already knowing the reason,

Make sense. Thanks.


thanks.

A close contender was pr_info_once() here:

    if (avic && !irqchip_split(vcpu->kvm))
        pr_info_once(...)


Looks good.

Actually, thinking about it again, this would not work either since pr_xxx_once() would only print the message once per loading of kvm_amd module. However, we would prefer the message to be printed per VM initialization. I also tried adding the check and print this message in the kvm_x86_ops.vm_init(), but this also does not work since the vm_init() function is called before the kvm_vm_ioctl_enable_cap(KVM_CAP_SPLIT_IRQCHIP).

Therefore, pr_info() might be better here, even though this would get print per VCPU initialization. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Suravee
