You are making this call from Linux?

This isn't valid for private events. Private events are private to the CPU - they can only
be reset, register and taken on that CPU. The specification for SDEI_EVENT_ROUTING_SET has
this:
| This call is used to change the routing information of a shared event.

To borrow the GIC's terms: Private events are like PPI, Shared events are like SPI.

Is that an SPI? If so, you should really be generating a shared event.

I'm not sure where this code in TFA is, but RM_PE for a private event is going to hit this
on all but one CPU. You shouldn't be able to set RM_PE for a private event.


I assume this is the TFA side of the problem from your colleague:
https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/11393


Does the problem occur with this TFA patch applied, and without any attempt to mess with
the routing of per-cpu/private events?


Thanks,

James
