[PATCH v5 18/36] KVM: arm64: gic: Introduce queue_irq_unlock to irq_ops

From: Sascha Bischoff <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-26 16:01:26
Also in: kvm, kvmarm
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

There are times when the default behaviour of vgic_queue_irq_unlock()
is undesirable. This is because some GICs, such a GICv5 which is the
main driver for this change, handle the majority of the interrupt
lifecycle in hardware. In this case, there is no need for a per-VCPU
AP list as the interrupt can be made pending directly. This is done
either via the ICH_PPI_x_EL2 registers for PPIs, or with the VDPEND
system instruction for SPIs and LPIs.

The vgic_queue_irq_unlock() function is made overridable using a new
function pointer in struct irq_ops. vgic_queue_irq_unlock() is
overridden if the function pointer is non-null.

This new irq_op is unused in this change - it is purely providing the
infrastructure itself. The subsequent PPI injection changes provide a
demonstration of the usage of the queue_irq_unlock irq_op.
