Otherwise, we start loosing some state. How do we loose state? Is it not more a question of complexity to make sure the 'cached' vgic state is up to date with the real state? (like what we currently do for the timer mapped interrupt). On GICv2 this is likely going to make injecting timer interrupts slower, because we'll check the pending state of whatever's in the AP list on entry to the guest and peek into the physical GIC again. > Note that > this is what my GICv4 patches are also doing, by forwarding the INT and > CLEAR commands to the physical ITS. > > >> Don't we have situations, due to the lazy disable approach, where the > >> physical IRQ hits, enters the genirq handler and the actual handler is > >> not called, ie. the virtual IRQ is not injected? > >> > > > > I'm not sure I remember what these situations were, specifically, but > > certainly if we ever have a situation where a mapped irq's pending state > > should be different from that of the physical one, then it doesn't work. > > There is a very simple way around the issue Eric mentions, which is to > use the "IRQ_DISABLE_UNLAZY" flag, which disable the lazy disabling of > interrupts.
