[Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 1/2] arm: remove irq from inflight, then change physical affinity

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch fixes a potential race that could happen when
gic_update_one_lr and vgic_vcpu_inject_irq run simultaneously.

When GIC_IRQ_GUEST_MIGRATING is set, we must make sure that the irq has
been removed from inflight before changing physical affinity, to avoid
concurrent accesses to p->inflight, as vgic_vcpu_inject_irq will take a
different vcpu lock.
