[Xen-devel] [PATCH v9 02/28] ARM: VGIC: move irq_to_pending() calls under the VGIC VCPU lock

[Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>]

So far irq_to_pending() is just a convenience function to lookup
statically allocated arrays. This will change with LPIs, which are
more dynamic.
The proper answer to the issue of preventing stale pointers is
ref-counting, which requires more rework and will be introduced with
a later rework.
For now move the irq_to_pending() calls that are used with LPIs under the
VGIC VCPU lock, and only use the returned pointer while holding the lock.
This prevents the memory from being freed while we use it.
