Hi Marc,

Some feedback below, but mostly questions to aid my understanding...

We make an assumption here that its_schedule_vpe is the only caller of
its_send_vpe_cmd where we may pass SCHEDULE_VPE. I guess this is currently
the case.

Why do we also set the residency flag for DESCHEDULE_VPE?

And by residency we mean that interrupts are delivered to VM, instead of
doorbell?

As I understand, and as indicated by removal of kvm_vgic_v4_enable_doorbell
below, we've now abstracted enabling the doorbell behind the concept of a
v4_put.

Why then, do we break that abstraction by adding this comment? Surely we just
want to indicate that we're done with ITS for now - do whatever you need to do.

This would have made more sense to me if the comment above was removed in this
patch rather than added.

This is because the doorbell will fire each time any guest device interrupts,
however we only need to tell the guest just once that something has happened
right?

Are we using !vpe->resident to avoid pointlessly doing work we've
already done?

Given that the doorbell corresponds with vpe residency, it could make sense
to add a helper here that calls its_schedule_vpe and [disable,enable]_irq.
Though I see that vgic_v3_put calls vgic_v4_put with need_db=false. I wonder
what effect setting that to true would be for vgic_v3_put? Could it be known
that v3 won't set need_db to true?

Thanks,

Andrew Murray
