    KVM: ARM: vgic: plug irq injection race · 71afaba4
    Marc Zyngier authored
    As it stands, nothing prevents userspace from injecting an interrupt
    before the guest's GIC is actually initialized.
    
    This goes unnoticed so far (as everything is pretty much statically
    allocated), but ends up exploding in a spectacular way once we switch
    to a more dynamic allocation (the GIC data structure isn't there yet).
    
    The fix is to test for the "ready" flag in the VGIC distributor before
    trying to inject the interrupt. Note that in order to avoid breaking
    userspace, we have to ignore what is essentially an error.
