I don't understand the issue here. the vgic_irq->group field does not exist in 4.16 (neither in the first nor the last version). Nor does the line you are modifying.

Both exist in mainline, but what you are mentioning shouldn't be an issue in mainline since vgic_irq->group gets initialized in kvm_vgic_vcpu_init for SGIs and PPIs (i.e. intid < 32) which includes your interrupt.

Cheers,

It was mainly due to the incorrect vgic_irq's(intid=27) group value
during injection interruption. when kvm_vgic_vcpu_init is called,
dist is not initialized at this time. Unable to get vgic V3 or V2
correctly, so group is not set.
group is setted to 1 when vgic_mmio_write_group is invoked at some
time.
when irq->group=0 (intid=27), No ICH_LR_GROUP flag was set and
interrupt injection failed.
