When a P9 sPAPR VM boots, the CAS negotiation process determines which interrupt mode to use (XICS legacy or XIVE native) and invokes a machine reset to activate the chosen mode. We introduce 'release' methods for the XICS-on-XIVE and the XIVE native KVM devices which are called when the file descriptor of the device is closed after the TIMA and ESB pages have been unmapped. They perform the necessary cleanups : clear the vCPU interrupt presenters that could be attached and then destroy the device. The 'release' methods replace the 'destroy' methods as 'destroy' is not called anymore once 'release' is. Compatibility with older QEMU is nevertheless maintained. This is not considered as a safe operation as the vCPUs are still running and could be referencing the KVM device through their presenters. To protect the system from any breakage, the kvmppc_xive objects representing both KVM devices are now stored in an array under the VM. Allocation is performed on first usage and memory is freed only when the VM exits.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
