[PATCH v2 2/4] irqchip/gic-v3-its: Allocate VPE tables from sleepable context
From: Steven Price
Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 11:01:39 EST
The VPE L1 table is allocated from the CPU-starting hotplug state,
where interrupts are disabled. Although the page allocation uses
GFP_ATOMIC, its_alloc_pages() subsequently calls
set_memory_decrypted(), which can sleep while splitting the arm64
linear map.
Move the allocation to the existing CPU-online callback, which runs in
sleepable context, and use GFP_KERNEL for both allocations performed
there. Register the callback even without EFI, since it is now also
responsible for VPE table allocation.
Fixes: b08e2f42e86b ("irqchip/gic-v3-its: Share ITS tables with a non-trusted hypervisor")
