[PATCH 3/3] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Fix GICv4.1 VPE affinity update

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Tue Feb 13 2024 - 05:12:33 EST


When updating the affinity of a VPE, we currently skip the VMOVP
command if the two CPUs are part of the same VPE affinity.

But this is wrong, as the doorbell corresponding to this VPE
is still delivered on the 'old' CPU, which screws up the balancing.
Furthermore, offlining that 'old' CPU results in doorbell interrupts
generated for this VPE being discarded.

The harsh reality is that we cannot easily elide VMOVP when
a set_affinity request occurs. It needs to be obeyed, and if
an optimisation is to be made, it is at the point where the affinity
change request is made (such as in KVM).

Drop the VMOVP elision altogether, and only use the vpe_table_mask
to try and stay within the same ITS affinity group if at all possible.
