for the records and since Marc asked for it:
Currently we have the following users of irq_is_pending():
- vgic_v2_populate_lr(): The irq_lock must be held by the caller.
- vgic_v3_populate_lr(): The irq_lock must be held by the caller.
- vgic_irq_cmp(): locks are taken around the call
- kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq(): lock are taken around the call
- vgic_target_oracle(): The irq_lock must be held by the caller
So vgic_mmio_read_pending() is the only instance right now where we
don't get the lock.
Cheers,
Andre.
