[PATCH v5 0/3] LoongArch: KVM: irqchip fixes

Hi,
Three fixes for the LoongArch KVM irqchip code:
- Patch 1 clears the device pointer in the destroy callbacks: when
KVM_CREATE_DEVICE succeeds but the following fd allocation fails
(e.g. under RLIMIT_NOFILE), ops->destroy() frees the irqchip while
kvm->arch.* still points to it.
- Patch 2 aligns kvm_pch_pic_create() with kvm_eiointc_create() by
propagating the real error code; the kvm_ipi_create() counterpart is
being fixed separately (Chaithanya Lagisetty).
- Patch 3 rejects repeated PCH-PIC CTRL_INIT with -EEXIST, using the
initialized state of the kvm_io_device as the indicator. The check,
the MMIO base update and the bus registration are serialized by
slots_lock; on a registration failure the state is rolled back so
that a retry can start over.
All patches carry Fixes tags.
Changes in v5:
- Patch 3: roll back the base and the device state on registration
failure, as suggested by Bibo.
Changes in v4:
- Patch 3: update pch_pic_base unconditionally, as suggested by
Huacai.
Changes in v3:
- Drop "Load dmsintc pointer once in pch_msi_set_irq" (v2 patch 2),
suggested by Bibo and Huacai.
- Patch 3 (v2 patch 4): reject repeated CTRL_INIT by checking the
kvm_io_device state instead of a separate has_init flag, also
suggested by Huacai; the check stays under slots_lock.
Changes in v2:
- Drop "Guard against NULL irqchip in irq injection" (v1 patch 2) and
"Rebase steal time counter in vcpu context" (v1 patch 4) after
review discussion: their trigger scenarios are not reachable
through real VMM behaviour.
- Use the one-line destroy style in dmsintc suggested by Bibo.
- Track repeated PCH-PIC CTRL_INIT with a has_init flag and return
-EEXIST instead of -EBUSY, also suggested by Bibo; move the check
and base update under slots_lock so they are atomic.
- Add READ_ONCE() to the dmsintc pointer loads so the compiler
keeps each of them a single load.
