arm/arm64: KVM: vgic: Factor out level irq processing on guest exit
Currently vgic_process_maintenance() processes dealing with a completed level-triggered interrupt directly, but we are soon going to reuse this logic for level-triggered mapped interrupts with the HW bit set, so move this logic into a separate static function. Probably the most scary part of this commit is convincing yourself that the current flow is safe compared to the old one. In the following I try to list the changes and why they are harmless: Move vgic_irq_clear_queued after kvm_notify_acked_irq: Harmless because the only potential effect of clearing the queued flag wrt. kvm_set_irq is that vgic_update_irq_pending does not set the pending bit on the emulated CPU interface or in the pending_on_cpu bitmask if the function is called with level=1. However, the point of kvm_notify_acked_irq is to call kvm_set_irq with level=0, and we set the queued flag again in __kvm_vgic_sync_hwstate later on if the level is stil high. Move vgic_set_lr before kvm_notify_acked_irq: Also, harmless because the LR are cpu-local operations and kvm_notify_acked only affects the dist Move vgic_dist_irq_clear_soft_pend after kvm_notify_acked_irq: Also harmless, because now we check the level state in the clear_soft_pend function and lower the pending bits if the level is low.
