hi Kevin,
currently this lrca can be updated in two places:

intel_vgpu_emulate_mmio_write
	|->mutex_lock(&vgpu->vgpu_lock);
	|->intel_vgpu_emulate_ggtt_mmio_write
	|	|->read s->last_ctx[i].lrca
	|->mutex_unlock(&vgpu->vgpu_lock);


workload_thread
	|->dispatch_workload
		|->mutex_lock(&vgpu->vgpu_lock);
		|->populate_shadow_context
		|	|->read/write s->last_ctx[i].lrca
		|->mutex_unlock(&vgpu->vgpu_lock);

actually, now it's safe to be u64 with the vgpu_lock.
(gpa currently is only accessed in workload_thread).

so, change to to u64?

right. I did miss it...sorry.
Thanks a lot!
