[PATCH] As reported in qemu-project/qemu#3324
Posted by Zexiang Zhang 1 week ago 
From: kiki <Chan9Yan9@gmail.com>

A malformed IVE value can result in an invalid server field being
passed to icp_irq(). The function assumes the server id is valid and
may access invalid state otherwise, potentially leading to a crash.

Fix this by validating the server id before using it and ignoring
invalid values.

About subject, can you change the subject to decribe the fix, something
like 'ppc/pnv: Fix Null Pointer Deref in PHB3', what do you say ?

There's a build error:

	../hw/intc/xics.c: In function ‘icp_irq’:
	../hw/intc/xics.c:226:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘qemu_log_mask’; did you mean ‘qemu_log’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

	../hw/intc/xics.c:226:23: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Add '#include "qemu/log.h", maybe after osdep.h include, to fix above
error.

Also, I will recommend running 'make check-functional-ppc64 -j4' to test
the patch before post.

The change looks good to me. Can you post a v2 with the subject and
build fixed ?

Thanks,
