Re: [PATCH -next] irq-chip/gic-v3-its: Fixed an issue where the ITS executes the residual commands in the queue again when the ITS wakes up from sleep mode.

The kernel sends three commands in the following sequence:

1.mapd(deviceA, ITT_addr1, valid:1)

2.mapti(deviceA):ITS write ITT_addr1 memory;

3.mapd(deviceA, ITT_addr1, valid:0) and kfree(ITT_addr1);

4.mapd(deviceA, ITT_addr2, valid:1);

5.mapti(deviceA):ITS write ITT_addr2 memory;

In this case, the processor enters the sleep mode. After the kernel
performs the suspend operation, the firmware performs the store
operation and saves GITS_CBASER and GITS_CWRITER registers.

Then, the processor is woken up, and the firmware restores GITS_CBASER
and GITS_CWRITER registers. Because GITS_CWRITER register is not 0,
ITS will read the above command sequence execution from the command
queue, causing ITT_addr1 memory to be trampled.

This cannot work. By doing a memset on the command queue, you are
only feeding crap to the ITS (command 0 simply does not exist).
Consider yourself lucky that it doesn't just lock-up.

What needs to happen is the restore sequence that is already in the
driver, so that the command queue is in a sane state before re-enabling
the ITS.

On my platform, ITS_FLAGS_SAVE_SUSPEND_STATE is not set, thus
the first if condition in its_save_disable under list_for_each_entry goes
to the continue, however, I want to set the GITS_CWRITER to 0 at the
end of list_for_each_entry.

Do you have any suggestions about how to do this?

That's pretty much dropping the checks for ITS_FLAGS_SAVE_SUSPEND_STATE,
isn't it? But I assume your ITS is already enabled by the time you reenter
the kernel? If so, I bet your firmware is doing more than just writing
to CBASER and CWRITER...
