Currently, checks for whether VT-d PI can be used refer to the current status of the feature in the current vCPU; or they more or less pick vCPU 0 in case a specific vCPU is not available. However, these checks do not attempt to synchronize with changes to the IRTE. In particular, there is no path that updates the IRTE when APICv is re-activated on vCPU 0; and there is no path to wakeup a CPU that has APICv disabled, if the wakeup occurs because of an IRTE that points to a posted interrupt. To fix this, always go through the VT-d PI path as long as there are assigned devices and APICv is available on both the host and the VM side. Since the relevant condition was copied over three times, take the hint and factor it into a separate function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
