KVM: PPC: Book 3S: XICS: Fix potential issue with duplicate IRQ resends
It is possible that in the following order, one irq is resent twice: CPU 1 CPU 2 ics_check_resend() lock ics_lock see resend set unlock ics_lock /* change affinity of the irq */ kvmppc_xics_set_xive() write_xive() lock ics_lock see resend set unlock ics_lock icp_deliver_irq() /* resend */ icp_deliver_irq() /* resend again */ It doesn't have any user-visible effect at present, but needs to be avoided when the following patch implementing the P/Q stuff is applied. This patch clears the resend flag before releasing the ics lock, when we know we will do a re-delivery after checking the flag, or setting the flag.
