Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] KVM: arm64: vgic-v2: Don't init the vgic on in-kernel interrupt injection

From: Marc Zyngier <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 11:02:10 +0100

We how have the lazy init on three paths:

- on first run of a vcpu
- on first injection of an interrupt from userspace and irqfd
- on first injection of an interrupt from kernel space as
  part of the device emulation (timers, PMU, vgic MI)

Given that we recompute the state of each in-kernel interrupt
every time we are about to enter the guest, we can drop the lazy
init from the kernel injection path.

This solves a bunch of issues related to vgic_lazy_init() being called
in non-preemptible context, such as vcpu reset.
