When the EnableLPIs bit is set to 0, any ITS LPI requests in the
Redistributor would be ignored. And this check is independent from
the ITS LPI translation. So it might be better to move the check
of the EnableLPIs bit out of the LPI resolving, and also add it
to the path that uses the translation cache.

But by doing that, you are moving the overhead of checking for
EnableLPIs from the slow path (translation walk) to the fast
path (cache hit), which seems counter-productive.

Oh, I didn't notice the overhead of the checking, I thought it would
be negligible...

Besides it seems that
by this the invalidating of the translation cache caused by the LPI
disabling is unnecessary.

Not sure if I have missed something... Thanks.

I am certainly missing the purpose of this patch.

The effect of EnableLPIs being zero is to drop the result of any
translation (a new pending bit) on the floor. Given that, it is
immaterial whether this causes a new translation or hits in the
cache, as the result is still to not pend a new interrupt.

I get the feeling that you are trying to optimise for the unusual
case where EnableLPIs is 0 *and* you have a screaming device
injecting tons of interrupt. If that is the case, I don't think
this is worth it.

In fact, I just found (imagining) that if the EnableLPIs bit is 0,
the kvm_vgic_v4_set_forwarding() would fail when performing the LPI
translation, but indeed we don't try to pend any interrupts there...

By the way, it seems that the LPI disabling would not affect the
injection of VLPIs...

Thanks,
Shenming

Thanks,
