A few instructions below:

    if (list_empty(rd_regions)) {
        [..]
    } else {
        rdreg = list_last_entry(rd_regions,
                    struct vgic_redist_region, list);
        [..]

        /* Cannot add an explicitly sized regions after legacy region */
        if (!rdreg->count)
            return -EINVAL;
    }

Isn't this testing for the same thing, but using the opposite condition? Or am I
misunderstanding the code (quite likely)?

Looks to me like KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR(KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST{,_REGION})
used to return -EEXIST (from vgic_check_ioaddr()) before commit ccc27bf5be7b7
("KVM: arm/arm64: Helper to register a new redistributor region") which added the
vgic_v3_insert_redist_region() function, so bringing back the -EEXIST return code
looks the right thing to me.

Thanks,
Alex
