Hi Stefano, On 11/02/17 02:05, Stefano Stabellini wrote: We don't need a lock in vgic_get_target_vcpu anymore, solving the following lock inversion bug: the rank lock should be taken first, then the vgic lock. However, gic_update_one_lr is called with the vgic lock held, and it calls vgic_get_target_vcpu, which tries to obtain the rank lock.

But unfortunately atomic_t is int. So I would probably add a comment on top of the field vcpu in vgic_irq_rank explaining that vcpu should be read using atomic.
