Subsequent investigations show that (B) results in nmi_enter() being called, but that it actually is a spurious interrupt. Furthermore, interrupts are reenabled in the context of (B), and (C) fires with NMI priority. We end-up with a nested NMI situation, something we definitely do not want to (and cannot) handle. The bug here is that spurious interrupts should never result in any state change, and we should just return to the interrupted context. Moving the handling of spurious interrupts as early as possible in the GICv3 handler fixes this issue. Fixes: 3f1f3234bc2d ("irqchip/gic-v3: Switch to PMR masking before calling IRQ handler")This commit is in 5.1, not 4.19. How are you hitting this? What are we supposed to do wit this patch? confused,
Sorry for the noise, we have an internally used kernel which is based on LTS 4.19 kernel, and we backported some mainline features including the pseudo NMI for ARM64, that's why we backporting the following bugfixes as well. I didn't notice it was cced stable and Marc as well, and adding my review tag (for internally review process), sorry. Thanks Hanjun
