The way KVM drives GICv4.{0,1} is as follows: - vcpu_load() makes the VPE resident, instructing the RD to start scanning for interrupts - just before entering the guest, we check that the RD has finished scanning and that we can start running the vcpu - on preemption, we deschedule the VPE by making it invalid on the RD However, we are preemptible between the first two steps. If it so happens *and* that the RD was still scanning, we nonetheless write to the GICR_VPENDBASER register while Dirty is set, and bad things happen (we're in UNPRED land). This affects both the 4.0 and 4.1 implementations. Make sure Dirty is cleared before performing the deschedule, meaning that its_clear_vpend_valid() becomes a sort of full VPE residency barrier.
