Marc Zyngier 67b5b673ad KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Disallow Active+Pending for level interrupts
It was recently reported that VFIO mediated devices, and anything
that VFIO exposes as level interrupts, do no strictly follow the
expected logic of such interrupts as it only lowers the input
line when the guest has EOId the interrupt at the GIC level, rather
than when it Acked the interrupt at the device level.

THe GIC's Active+Pending state is fundamentally incompatible with
this behaviour, as it prevents KVM from observing the EOI, and in
turn results in VFIO never dropping the line. This results in an
interrupt storm in the guest, which it really never expected.

As we cannot really change VFIO to follow the strict rules of level
signalling, let's forbid the A+P state altogether, as it is in the
end only an optimization. It ensures that we will transition via
an invalid state, which we can use to notify VFIO of the EOI.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
