Hi Zenghui,

It's likely that the vcpu fails to handle all virtual interrupts if
userspace decides to destroy it, leaving the pending ones stay in the
ap_list. If the un-handled one is a LPI, its vgic_irq structure will
be eventually leaked because of an extra refcount increment in
vgic_queue_irq_unlock().

This was detected by kmemleak on almost every guest destroy, the
backtrace is as follows:

Fix it by retiring all pending LPIs in the ap_list on the destroy path.

p.s. I can also reproduce it on a normal guest shutdown. It is because
userspace still send LPIs to vcpu (through KVM_SIGNAL_MSI ioctl) while
the guest is being shutdown and unable to handle it. A little strange
though and haven't dig further...

What userspace are you using? You'd hope that the VMM would stop
processing I/Os when destroying the guest. But we still need to handle
it anyway, and I thing this fix makes sense.

I'm using Qemu (master) for debugging. Looks like an interrupt
corresponding to a virtio device configuration change, triggered after
all other devices had freed their irqs. Not sure if it's expected.

I guess that at this stage, the INIT_LIST_HEAD() is superfluous, right?

I was just thinking that the ap_list_head may not be empty (besides LPI,
with other active or pending interrupts), so leave it unchanged.

Otherwise, looks good. If you agree with the above, I can fix that
locally, no need to resend this patch.

Thanks,
