I couldn't find handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_ipi() in mainline, and when
researching I found that we changed that in commit:

  6abbd6988971aaa6 ("irqchip/gic, gic-v3: Make SGIs use handle_percpu_devid_irq()")

... which was in v5.11, so it looks like this is stale?

Since that commit, SGIs are treated the same as PPIs/EPPIs, and use
handle_percpu_devid_irq() by default.

IIUC handle_percpu_devid_irq() isn't NMI safe, and so to run in an NMI context
those should use handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_nmi().

Marc, does that sound right to you? i.e. SGI NMIs should be handled exactly the
same as PPI NMIs, and use handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_nmi()?

I have some comments below assuming that SGI NMIs should use
handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_nmi().

This bit looks fine to me.

As above, I reckon this isn't right, and we should treat all rdist interrupts
(which are all percpu) the same.

I reckon what we should be doing here is make ppi_nmi_refs cover all of the
rdist interrupts (e.g. make that rdist_nmi_refs, add a gic_get_rdist_idx()
helper), and then here have something like:

	if (gic_irq_in_rdist(d)) {
		u32 idx = gic_get_rdist_idx(d);

		/* 
		 * Setting up a percpu interrupt as NMI, only switch handler
		 * for first NMI
		 */
		if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&rdist_nmi_refs[idx])) {
			refcount_set(&ppi_nmi_refs[idx], 1);
			desc->handle_irq = handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_nmi;
		}
	}

... as an aside, it'd be nicer if we could switch the handler at request time,
as then we wouldn't need the refcount at all, but I couldn't see a good irqchip
hook to hang that off, so I don't think that needs to change as a prerequisite.

Same comments as for gic_irq_nmi_setup() here.

This bit looks fine to me.

Thanks,
