[PATCH 1/3] KVM: SVM: extract avic_ring_doorbell

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Fri Feb 11 2022 - 06:01:24 EST


From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@xxxxxxxxxx>

The check on the current CPU adds an extra level of indentation to
svm_deliver_avic_intr and conflates documentation on what happens
if the vCPU exits (of interest to svm_deliver_avic_intr) and migrates
(only of interest to avic_ring_doorbell, which calls get/put_cpu()).
Extract the wrmsr to a separate function and rewrite the
comment in svm_deliver_avic_intr().
