If the guest sets an explicit vcpu_info GPA then, for any of the first 32 vCPUs, the content of the default vcpu_info in the shared_info page must be copied into the new location. Because this copy may race with event delivery (which updates the 'evtchn_pending_sel' field in vcpu_info), event delivery needs to be deferred until the copy is complete. Happily there is already a shadow of 'evtchn_pending_sel' in kvm_vcpu_xen that is used in atomic context if the vcpu_info PFN cache has been invalidated so that the update of vcpu_info can be deferred until the cache can be refreshed (on vCPU thread's the way back into guest context). Use this shadow if the vcpu_info cache has been *deactivated*, so that the VMM can safely copy the vcpu_info content and then re-activate the cache with the new GPA. To do this, stop considering an inactive vcpu_info cache as a hard error in kvm_xen_set_evtchn_fast(), and let the existing kvm_gpc_check() fail and kick the vCPU (if necessary).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
