actually, now I'm confused.

vgic_add_lpi returns a struct vgic_irq with a reference count for the
reference in the itte struct, right?

So we never get a reference for the irq->lpi_list/dist->lpi_list_head ?

In which case my code above is wrong and I should not be getting the
extra reference.  Right?



Now, this made me think of another issue.  vgic_add_lpi has a blurb in
there about racing with another vgic_add_lpi and then it returns an irq
with an additional reference.  But I don't understand how this can
happen, given that the function only has a single caller which has to
run with a mutex held???

Can two different itte's point to the same struct vgic_irq ?


Thanks,
