Subject: [RESPIN PATCH] irqchip/gic-v3-its:Fix GICv4.1 needless VSYNC after unmap VPE

From: Nianyao Tang <[email protected]>

Quote from GIC spec 5.3.19, a VMAPP with {V, Alloc}=={0, x}
is self-synchronizing, This means the ITS command queue does not
show the command as consumed until all of its effects are completed.

We don't need VSYNC to guarantee unmap finish. And VSYNC after unmap VPE
will reach an invalid vpe table entry, which may trigger exception
like SError or RAS. Let's fix it.

Thanks for respinning this.

A few remarks:

The subject line could be improved. Something like:

"irqchip/gic-v4: Don't issue a VSYNC after VMAPP with V=0"

Since this is a direct quote, make it clear that it is so.

This should be much stronger. It's not that we don't need VSYNC. It is
that VSYNC is actively wrong. I suggest that you rewrite the commit
message along these lines:

<msg>
As per the GICv4.1 spec (Arm IHI 0069H, 5.3.19):

"A VMAPP with {V, Alloc}=={0, x} is self-synchronizing. This means the
ITS command queue does not show the command as consumed until all of
its effects are completed."

Furthermore, VSYNC is allowed to deliver an SError when referencing a
non existent VPE.

By these definitions, a VMAPP followed by a VSYNC is a bug, as the
later references a VPE that has been unmapped by the former.

Fix it by eliding the VSYNC in this scenario.

Please also add:

Fixes: 64edfaa9a234 ("irqchip/gic-v4.1: Implement the v4.1 flavour of VMAPP")

With the above fixed:
