Sorry, that was supposed to be "more than 24 GSIs for the IOAPICs". >> > that the above loop is broken for multiple IOAPICs. > The worst case remains #IOAPIC * 24 iterations - if we have means to > stop after the IOAPIC entries, not iterating over all routes. Yes. Which is not too bad if VCPUs can process it in parallel. >> > But perhaps when enabling KVM_SPLIT_IRQCHIP we can use args[0] to pass >> > the number of IOAPIC routes that will cause EOI exits? > And you need to ensure that their routes can be found in the table > directly. Given IOAPIC hotplug, that may not be the first ones there... Can you reserve a bunch of GSIs at the beginning of the GSI space, and use rt->map[] to access them and build the EOI exit bitmap?
