[v4 00/16] Add VT-d Posted-Interrupts support

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

 



VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.

You can find the VT-d Posted-Interrtups Spec. in the following URL:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/vt-directed-io-spec.html

This series was part of http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.iommu/7708. To make things clear, send out IOMMU part here.

This patch-set is based on the lastest x86/apic branch of tip tree.

Divide the whole series which contain multiple components into three parts:
- Prerequisite changes to irq subsystem (already merged in tip/x86/apic)
- IOMMU part (about to be merged in merged in tip/x86/apic), here is the
  latest version: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/9/22
- KVM and VFIO parts (this series)

Patch 8, 9, and 10 are from Eric Auger, there are some common VFIO APIs
defined in them. I integrate them in this series and use the APIs in
my patches.

v4:
* For lowest-priority interrupt, only support single-CPU destination
interrupts at the current stage, more common lowest priority support
will be added later.
* Accoring to Marcelo's suggestion, when vCPU is blocked, we handle
the posted-interrupts in the HLT emulation path.
* Some small changes (coding style, typo, add some code comments)

Eric Auger (3):
  KVM: kvm-vfio: User API for IRQ forwarding
  VFIO: external user API for interaction
  KVM: kvm-vfio: wrappers to VFIO external API device helpers

  KVM: Get Posted-Interrupts descriptor address from struct kvm_vcpu
  KVM: Add interfaces to control PI outside vmx
  KVM: Make struct kvm_irq_routing_table accessible
  KVM: make kvm_set_msi_irq() public
  KVM: kvm-vfio: User API for VT-d Posted-Interrupts
  KVM: kvm-vfio: implement the VFIO skeleton for VT-d Posted-Interrupts
  KVM: x86: kvm-vfio: VT-d posted-interrupts setup
  KVM: Update Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU is preempted
  KVM: Update Posted-Interrupts Descriptor when vCPU is blocked
  KVM: Warn if 'SN' is set during posting interrupts by software
