Userspace will always read the line-level values out and write them back for migration, and I'd rather not make it have to do cross-checks against whether the interrupt is edge or level triggered to see whether it should write the level values into the kernel. Telling the kernel the level for an edge-triggered interrupt should be a no-op because it doesn't have any effect on pending status. > In any case we probably need to clarify the ABI in terms of this > particular KVM_DEV_AR_VGIC_GRP_LEVEL_INFO group and how it relates to > the config of edge vs. level of interrupts and ordering on restore... IIRC the QEMU code restores the config first. (There's a similar ordering thing for GICv2 where we have to restore GICD_ICFGRn before GICD_ISPENDRn.) thanks -- PMM _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
