[Kamal Mostafa]

This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    KVM: lapic: sync highest ISR to hardware apic on EOI

to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.5.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: KVM: lapic: sync highest ISR to hardware apic on EOI

commit fc57ac2c9ca8109ea97fcc594f4be436944230cc upstream.

When Hyper-V enlightenments are in effect, Windows prefers to issue an
Hyper-V MSR write to issue an EOI rather than an x2apic MSR write.
The Hyper-V MSR write is not handled by the processor, and besides
being slower, this also causes bugs with APIC virtualization.  The
reason is that on EOI the processor will modify the highest in-service
interrupt (SVI) field of the VMCS, as explained in section 29.1.4 of
the SDM; every other step in EOI virtualization is already done by
apic_send_eoi or on VM entry, but this one is missing.

We need to do the same, and be careful not to muck with the isr_count
and highest_isr_cache fields that are unused when virtual interrupt
delivery is enabled.
