Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] KVM: arm64: fix VGICv3 redistributor rollback
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 08:52:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1786344511.git.kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
A failed REDIST_REGION update can unregister redistributor iodevs
belonging to earlier regions without clearing their cached base
addresses. A corrected retry then succeeds without restoring the missing
iodevs.
Limit rollback to vCPUs assigned to the newly added region. Extend
vgic_init to access an earlier redistributor after a failed update and
retry.
Commits 8542a8f95a67, 59112e9c390b, and 0d92e4a7ffd5 progressively fixed
cleanup after a failed region update. Preserving earlier regions follows
that model.
Built with GCC 15.2.0 and tested under QEMU 10.2.1 TCG with
-machine virt,virtualization=on,gic-version=3 and -cpu max. Both runs
reached the VGICv3 tests. The patched kernel passed; the same selftest
against the unpatched base failed with:
Unexpected MMIO exit at 0x8050008
