Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] x86/irq: KVM: Add helper for harvesting PIR to deduplicate KVM and posted MSIs
Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 09:34:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250401163447.846608-9-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250401163447.846608-1-seanjc@google.com>
Now that posted MSI and KVM harvesting of PIR is identical, extract the
code (and posted MSI's wonderful comment) to a common helper.
No functional change intended.
