Paolo,

Are there any issues or concerns about this patch?

Thank you,
Suravee

The function amd_ir_set_vcpu_affinity makes use of the parameter struct
amd_iommu_pi_data.prev_ga_tag to determine if it should delete struct
amd_iommu_pi_data from a list when not running in AVIC mode.

However, prev_ga_tag is initialized only when AVIC is enabled. The non-zero
uninitialized value can cause unintended code path, which ends up making
use of the struct vcpu_svm.ir_list and ir_list_lock without being
initialized (since they are intended only for the AVIC case).

This triggers NULL pointer dereference bug in the function vm_ir_list_del
with the following call trace:

Therefore, initialize prev_ga_tag to zero before use. This should be safe
because ga_tag value 0 is invalid (see function avic_vm_init).
