[PATCH v2 3/5] KVM: arm64: vgic-v3: Unregister redistributors before freeing regions
From: Karl Mehltretter
Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 18:44:33 EST
vgic_unregister_redist_iodev() uses rdreg to return its region slot. During
VM teardown, kvm_vgic_destroy() frees the regions before unregistering
their iodevs, so vgic_v3_free_redist_region() must first clear every rdreg
pointer.
Unregister the iodevs before kvm_vgic_dist_destroy(), while the regions are
still alive. Temporarily drop config_lock because
vgic_unregister_redist_iodev() takes it; slots_lock remains held for the
MMIO bus updates. The region destructor no longer needs the vCPU scan.
