Subject[PATCH v4 6/9] irqchip/gic-v3: Parse and export virtual GIC information
Message-ID<rghI5-6aA-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Fill up the recently introduced gic_kvm_info with the hardware
information used for virtualization.

    Changes in v4:
        - Change the flow to call gic_kvm_set_info only when all the
        mandatory information are valid.
        - Remove unecessary code in ACPI parsing (the virtual control
        interface doesn't exist for GICv3).
        - Rework commit message
        - Rework the ACPI support as it didn't collect hardware info for
        virtualization when there is more than 1 redistributor region

    Changes in v3:
        - Add ACPI support

    Changes in v2:
        - Use 0 rather than a negative value to know when the maintenance IRQ
        is not present.
        - Use resource for vcpu and vctrl

it seems like you're also checking the above items in the KVM code
itself, so I still don't understand why we have to do this twice.

My feeling here is that you want to just lookup if you have the proper
resources to fill in the struct in the GIC driver, and fill in the
struct with data if the firmware gave you something.

It's then up to KVM to deal with its constraints, such as the resources
being page-aligned etc.  But I suppose you could also argue that the GIC
code knows how this hardware resource can or cannot be used and
therefore should check it.

But in any case, I don't understand why we check it more than one place?

Thanks,

That's definitely a KVM limitation more than anything else. I had
patches to deal with that, and could revive them... So the check should
IMO only occur at the KVM level, not in the GIC driver.
