Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Critical] Use-After-Free of `inti` when injecting floating interrupts.
- [High] Missed vCPU kick causes lost or delayed floating interrupts when all vCPUs have masks closed.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v2] KVM: s390: Improve floating IRQ injection behavior ---
commit e7cb031c2f46e8290e932cd848faad5eec943d11
Author: Janosch Frank <frankja@linux.ibm.com>
Subject: KVM: s390: Improve floating IRQ injection behavior

Floating IRQs can be handled by any VCPU that opened its masks. The
current design does not check if the mask is open when a floating IRQ
is injected via the FLIC. It will wakeup the last VCPU that went
sleeping hoping it's the correct one.

[Severity: High]
Does this code drop the interrupt kick entirely if all vCPUs currently
have their interrupt masks closed?

If deliverable_irqs(dst_vcpu) & irq_pend_mask evaluates to 0 for all running
vCPUs, this loop will exit via the nr_tries check and return early.

Because it returns early, kvm_s390_set_cpuflags() and kvm_s390_vcpu_wakeup()
are never executed, meaning no vCPU drops out of SIE and
set_intercept_indicators() is not called. 

If the guest later unmasks the interrupt, could it remain undelivered since
the hardware intercept was never set up?

[Severity: Critical]
Does this cause a use-after-free when injecting GISA I/O adapter interrupts?

When __inject_io() handles a GISA I/O interrupt, it frees the interrupt info:

arch/s390/kvm/interrupt.c:__inject_io() {
    ...
    if (gi->origin && inti->type & KVM_S390_INT_IO_AI_MASK) {
        ...
        kfree(inti);
        return 0;
    }
    ...
}

Since it returns 0, __inject_vm() will proceed to call __floating_irq_kick()
with the newly freed inti pointer, which then dereferences it when calling
inti_to_irq_pend_mask(inti).

Also, for non-GISA interrupts, inti is placed on a shared list where another
vCPU might deliver and free it before __floating_irq_kick() runs. 

Should we avoid passing inti to the kick function?
