Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: arm64: GICv2: Don't WARN on out-of-range GICV_DIR INTID
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 19:48:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726174803.5880-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
vgic_v2_deactivate() passes the INTID a guest wrote to GICV_DIR straight
to vgic_get_vcpu_irq(), and treats a failed lookup as a "can't happen"
condition with WARN_ON_ONCE().
The guest can make it happen at will, though: for any INTID outside of
the implemented SGI, PPI and SPI ranges the lookup returns NULL, since
GICv2 has no LPIs. A guest running with EOImode==1 writing such an INTID
to GICV_DIR triggers the WARN, and panics hosts running with
panic_on_warn.
Drop the WARN and ignore failed lookups.
Fixes: 255de897e7fb ("KVM: arm64: GICv2: Handle deactivation via GICV_DIR traps")

v2:
- Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of bounding the INTID before the
lookup, which duplicated the range check vgic_get_irq() already
performs (Marc)
- Retitled; was "KVM: arm64: GICv2: Bound the INTID in
vgic_v2_deactivate()"
