From: "Edgar E. Iglesias" <edgar.igles...@amd.com>

Julien reported that he has seen strange behaviour when running
Xen on QEMU using GICv2. When Xen migrates a guest's vCPU to
another pCPU while the vCPU is handling an interrupt the guest
is unable to properly deactivate interrupts.

It sounds like something rare but in some setups it actually
happens all the time.

Looking at it a little closer, our GICv2 model treats
deactivation of SPI lines as if they were PPI's, i.e banked per
CPU core. The state for active interrupts should only be banked
for PPI lines, not for SPI lines.

When deactivating SPI lines, I think we need to handle the state
as unbanked, similar to how we handle writes to GICD_ICACTIVER.

This fixes the problem on my side.

Cheers,
Edgar
