[PATCH 00/14] PCI Passthrough Interrupt Optimizations

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

 



This patch set adds support for handling interrupts for PCI adapters
entirely in the guest under the right conditions. When an interrupt
is received by KVM in real mode, if the interrupt is from a PCI
passthrough adapter owned by the guest, KVM will update the virtual
ICP for the VCPU that is the target of the interrupt entirely in
real mode and generate the virtual interrupt. If the VCPU is not
running in the guest, it will wake up the VCPU.  It will also update
the affinity of the interrupt to directly target the CPU (core)
where this VCPU is being scheduled as an optimization. 

KVM needs the mapping between hardware interrupt numbers in the host
to the virtual hardware interrupt (GSI) that needs to get injected
into the guest. This patch set takes advantage of the IRQ bypass
manager feature to create this mapping. For now, we allocate and
manage a separate mapping structure per VM.

Although a mapping is created for every passthrough IRQ requested
in the guest, we also maintain a cache of mappings that is used to
speed up search. For now, KVM real mode code only looks in the cache for
a mapping. If no mapping is found, we fall back on the usual interrupt
routing mechanism - switch back to host and run the VFIO interrupt
handler.

This is based on 4.5-rc1 plus the patch set in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm-ppc/msg11131.html since it has
dependencies on vmalloc_to_phys() being public.
