Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] KVM: arm64: GICv4.1: Restore VLPI's pending state to physical side

From: Zenghui Yu <[email protected]>

When setting the forwarding path of a VLPI (switch to the HW mode),
we could also transfer the pending state from irq->pending_latch to
VPT (especially in migration, the pending states of VLPIs are restored
into kvm’s vgic first). And we currently send "INT+VSYNC" to trigger
a VLPI to pending.

Thanks for giving a hint, but it seems that vgic_queue_irq_unlock() only
queues an IRQ after checking, did you mean vgic_prune_ap_list() instead?

Thanks a lot for the comments! :-)

Hi, I have gone through vgic_queue_irq_unlock more than once, but still can't
find the place in it to drop an IRQ from the AP list... Did I miss something ?...
Or could you help to point it out? Thanks very much for this!

Maybe we could call vgic_prune_ap_list() if (irq->vcpu && !vgic_target_oracle(irq)) in vgic_queue_irq_unlock()...

OK, I will retest this series and send a v4 soon. :-)
