Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Multiple pre-existing WARN_ONCE and WARN_ON_ONCE macros are reachable by unprivileged host userspace and malicious guests, allowing a host-side DoS if `panic_on_warn` is enabled.
- [High] Uninitialized array `vector` is conditionally assigned but unconditionally evaluated and used to modify hardware CSRs.

LoongArch: KVM: Use internal API to deliver interrupt in kernel mode
    
This commit updates KVM on LoongArch to use internal APIs
kvm_queue_irq() and kvm_dequeue_irq() for delivering interrupts in kernel
mode, rather than the user mode kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt(). It also moves
IPI injection and ack operations within lock protection to reduce contention.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but looking at dmsintc_inject_irq()
just above this change, is the vector array properly initialized?

arch/loongarch/kvm/intc/dmsintc.c:dmsintc_inject_irq() {
        unsigned long vector[4], old;
        ...
        for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
                old = atomic64_read(&(ds->vector_map[i]));
                if (old)
                        vector[i] = atomic64_xchg(&(ds->vector_map[i]), 0);
        }

        if (vector[0]) {
                old = kvm_read_hw_gcsr(LOONGARCH_CSR_ISR0);
                kvm_write_hw_gcsr(LOONGARCH_CSR_ISR0, vector[0] | old);
        }
}

If atomic64_read() returns zero, vector[i] is left uninitialized. When it
checks if (vector[0]) later, could this evaluate to true using stack garbage
and write random data into the guest CSRs?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed there are several WARN_ONCE and
WARN_ON_ONCE macros reachable by unprivileged host userspace and malicious
guests in this subsystem.

For example, in kvm_vcpu_ioctl_interrupt(), providing an intr == 0
unconditionally hits a fallback block that calls:

WARN_ONCE(1, "%s: invalid interrupt ioctl %d\n", __func__, irq->irq);

Similarly, in ipi_send() and eiointc_update_irq(), guest-controlled CPU IDs
can yield a NULL vCPU, directly triggering:

WARN_ONCE(1, "%s: invalid target cpu: %d\n", __func__, cpu);

And in loongarch_ipi_readl(), a guest unaligned MMIO read triggers:

WARN_ON_ONCE(offset & (len - 1));

Could these be converted to pr_warn_once(), return an error, or drop the
assertions entirely? These could allow a host-side denial of service if
panic_on_warn is enabled.
