Sorry for the late reply.

The life cycle of the physically mapped IRQ is as follows:
- pIRQ becomes pending
- pIRQ is acknowledged by the physical handler and becomes active
- vIRQ gets injected as part of the physical handler chain
  (VFIO->irqfd kvm_vgic_inject_irq for instance). Linux irq cannot
  hit until vIRQ=pIRQ deactivation
- guest deactivates the vIRQ which automatically deactivates the pIRQ


So to me if we are about to vgic_validate_injection() an injection of a
physically mapped vIRQ this means the vgic state is ready to accept it:
previous occurence was deactivated. There cannot be any state
inconsistency around the line_level/level.

Do you agree?

I will add this description at least in the commit message.

don't catch this one. validation always succeeds and then we further
handle the IRQ.

Thanks
