Same question for vgic_its_free_device().
There is definitely a race, but that race is invisible from the guest's perspective. The guest can only assume that the command has taken effect once a SYNC command has been executed, and it cannot observe that the SYNC command has been executed before we have invalidated the cache. Does this answer your question? Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead.
