Thanks a lot, Matt. I will address of course all these typos ;)

I was thinking of a WARN_ON() as well and will most probaly add it
because it is much better visible.

It is not the IAM directly that I set to 0x00 but gi->alert.mask. It is
used the restore the IAM in the gisa by means of
gisa_get_ipm_or_restore_iam() under cmpxchg() conditions which is called
by process_gib_alert_list() and the hr_timer function gisa_vcpu_kicker()
that it triggers. When the gisa is in the alert list, the IAM is always
0x00. It's set by millicode. I just need to ensure that it is not
changed to anything else.

in order to ensure an alert can't still be delivered some time after you
check gisa_in_alert_list(gi->origin)? That matches up with what is done
per-gisc in kvm_s390_gisc_unregister() today.

right

AFAICT, even if the device driver(s) call kvm_s390_gisc_unregister correctly for all associated gisc, if gisa_set_iam manages to return -EBUSY because the gisa is already in the alert list then wouldn't the gisc refcounts be decremented but the relevant alert bit left enabled for that gisc until the next time we call gisa_set_iam or gisa_get_ipm_or_restore_iam?

you are right, that should retried in kvm_s390_gisc_register() and
kvm_s390_gisc_unregister() until the rc is 0 but that would lead to a
CPU stall as well under the condition where GAL interrupts are not
delivered in the host.

I have to think and play around with process_gib_alert_list() being
called as well in these situations.

BTW the pci and the vfip_ap device drivers currently also ignore the
return codes of kvm_s390_gisc_unregister().

Thanks a lot for your thoughts!
