[PATCH] kvm/x86: implement hv EOI assist

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It seems that it's easy to implement the EOI assist
on top of the PV EOI feature: simply convert the
page address to the format expected by PV EOI.

Notes:
-"No EOI required" is set only if interrupt injected
 is edge triggered; this is true because level interrupts are going
 through IOAPIC which disables PV EOI.
 In any case, if guest triggers EOI the bit will get cleared on exit.
-For migration, set of HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE sets
 KVM_PV_EOI_EN internally, so restoring HV_X64_MSR_APIC_ASSIST_PAGE
 seems sufficient
 In any case, bit is cleared on exit so worst case it's never re-enabled
-no handling of PV EOI data is performed at HV_X64_MSR_EOI write;
 HV_X64_MSR_EOI is a separate optimization - it's an X2APIC
 replacement that lets you do EOI with an MSR and not IO.

patch is unchanged from RFC except for documenting the design points in
the commit log, do address Marcelo's comments.
This passed basic testing.  Migration was not tested.

I think at this point it's a good idea to merge this so
it can get tested and used by more people.
