nit: I would remove the above and simply say the discard is supposed to
fail if the collection is not mapped to any target redistributor. If an
ITE exists then the ite->collection is non NULL.

I think this is not always true. Let's talk about the following scenario
(a bit insane, though):

1. First map a LPI to an unmapped Collection, then ite->collection is
   non NULL and its target_addr is COLLECTION_NOT_MAPPED.

2. Then issue MAPC and unMAPC(V=0) commands on this Collection, the
   ite->collection will be NULL, see vgic_its_free_collection().

Discard the LPI mapping after "1" or "2", we will both encounter the
unmapped collection command error.

What needs to be checked is its_is_collection_mapped().

By the way update_affinity_collection() also tests ite->collection. I
think this is useless or do I miss something?

Yeah, I agree. We managed to invoke update_affinity_collection(,, coll),
ensure that the 'coll' can _not_ be NULL.
So '!ite->collection' is already a subcase of 'coll != ite->collection'.
We can safely get rid of it.

Thanks for that. I'll change the commit message with your suggestion and
add your R-b in v2.


Thanks,
Zenghui
