The GIB (Guest Information Block) links the GISA of all guests
that have adapter interrupts pending. These interrupts cannot be
deliverd because no vcpu of these guests is currently running in
SIE context. Instead, a GIB alert is issued on the host to schedule
these guests to run.

This mechanism allows to process adapter interrupts for currently
not running guests.

The GIB is created during host initialization and associated with
the Adapter Interruption Facility in case an Adapter Interruption
Virtualization Facility is available.

Following out answer in another thread about my questions on gib_in_use.

I do not understand why we should survive if gib is not initialized in gib_init(), see here under, the gib_init() implenetation.

Then, if gib is never NULL, gib_in_use here only represent the kvm-guest interrupt handling using GISA

or this failure ?

shouldn't we better return an error and abort loading KVM?

is there a use case for which we can continue without GIB when AIV is available?

For my understanding, there is no case for which we can safely use GISA without GIB.
