    KVM: arm/arm64: Fix GICv4 ITS initialization issues · 3d1ad640
    Christoffer Dall authored
    We should only try to initialize GICv4 data structures on a GICv4
    capable system.  Move the vgic_supports_direct_msis() check inito
    vgic_v4_init() so that any KVM VGIC initialization path does not fail
    on non-GICv4 systems.
    
    Also be slightly more strict in the checking of the return value in
    vgic_its_create, and only error out on negative return values from the
    vgic_v4_init() function.  This is important because the kvm device code
    only treats negative values as errors and only cleans up in this case.
    Errornously treating a positive return value as an error from the
    vgic_v4_init() function can lead to NULL pointer dereferences, as has
    recently been observed.
