Li Zhong 21acd0e4df KVM: PPC: Book 3S: XICS: Don't lock twice when checking for resend
This patch improves the code that takes lock twice to check the resend flag
and do the actual resending, by checking the resend flag locklessly, and
add a boolean parameter check_resend to icp_[rm_]deliver_irq(), so the
resend flag can be checked in the lock when doing the delivery.

We need make sure when we clear the ics's bit in the icp's resend_map, we
don't miss the resend flag of the irqs that set the bit. It could be
ordered through the barrier in test_and_clear_bit(), and a newly added
wmb between setting irq's resend flag, and icp's resend_map.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
