Come on. This are bits in upid.status, right? So why can't the comment
above these defines says so and why can't the names not reflect that?
I'll fix this.

Please use tabular format for struct members.
Will do.
+};
+
+struct uintr_receiver {
+	struct uintr_upid_ctx *upid_ctx;
+};
So we need a struct to wrap a pointer to another struct. Why?

The struct will have more members added later.  Should the wrapper be created then?

I didn't want to add members that are not used in this patch.

+inline bool uintr_arch_enabled(void)
What's this arch_enabled indirection for? Is this used anywhere in
non-architecture code?


I'll remove this indirection.

It is a remnant of some older code that had uintr_fd managed outside of the x86 code.

Brilliant. If x2apic is not enabled then this case returns


I'll fix this.

   (BAD_APICID << 8) & 0xFF00 == 0xFF ....

Again. Which bugs and why haven't they been evaluated before posting?
I apologize again. This comment is no longer valid.

+	fpregs_lock();
And because you need to disable preemption you need to use
fpregs_lock(), right? That's not what fpregs_lock() is about.

Got it. I'll evaluate the use of fpregs_lock() at all places.

+		wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_UINTR_STACKADJUST, 0ULL);
+		wrmsrl(MSR_IA32_UINTR_HANDLER, 0ULL);
+	} else {
+		struct uintr_state *p;
+
+		p = get_xsave_addr(&fpu->state.xsave, XFEATURE_UINTR);
+		if (p) {
+			p->handler = 0;
+			p->stack_adjust = 0;
+			p->upid_addr = 0;
+			p->uinv = 0;
+			p->uirr = 0;
+		}
So p == NULL is expected here?
I'll fix this and other usages of get_xsave_addr().

Thanks,

Sohil
