Before GICv4.1, all operations would be serialized with the affinity changes by virtue of using the same ITS command queue. With v4.1, things change, as invalidations (and a number of other operations) are issued using the redistributor MMIO frame. We must thus make sure that these redistributor accesses cannot race against aginst the affinity change, or we may end-up talking to the wrong redistributor. To ensure this, we expand the irq_to_cpuid() helper to take a spinlock when the LPI is mapped to a vLPI (a new per-VPE lock) on each operation that requires mutual exclusion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
