Hi Zenghui,

Thanks for this.

When we're writing config for the doorbell interrupt, get_vlpi_map() will
get confused by doorbell's d->parent_data hack and find the wrong its_dev
as chip data and the wrong event.

Fix this issue by making sure no doorbells will be involved before invoking
get_vlpi_map(), which restore some of the logic in lpi_write_config().

This is based on mainline and can't be directly applied to the current
irqchip-next.

Shouldn't we fix get_vlpi_map() instead? Something like (untested):

Or am I missing the actual problem?

No. I also thought about fixing the issue by this way and I'm OK with
both approaches.


Overall, I'm starting to hate that ->parent hack as it's been the source
of a number of bugs.

(thankfully it's rarely used and we've so far handled them carefully,
except the lpi_write_config issue in this patch...)


The main issue is that the VPE hierarchy is missing one level (it has
no ITS domain, and goes directly from the VPE domain to the low-level
GIC domain). It means we end-up special-casing things, and that's never
good...

Yeah, this may comes from the fact that the per-vPE doorbell is not
served by ITS and can be asserted by redistributor directly. And the
special doorbell is programmed together with those normal LPI
(translated from MSI by ITS).


Thanks,
Zenghui
