[PATCH] KVM: x86: lapic: Fix the misuse of likely() in find_highest_vector()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Although returning -1 should be likely according to the likely(),
the ASSERT in apic_find_highest_irr() will be triggered in such a case.
It seems that this optimization is not working as expected.

This patch simplifies the logic to mitigate this issue: search for the
first non-zero word in a for loop and then use __fls() if found.  When
nothing found, we are out of the loop, so we can just return -1.
