Hello, Paolo, Thanks for your answer. > What hypervisor are you implementing this on? (And why is this useful? > That is, what kind of device would register an interrupt in this domain?) I've implemented paravirq for the hypervisor developed by Positive Technologies (http://www.ptsecurity.com/). It is a lightweight bare-metal hypervisor based on "Blue Pill" concept (introduced by Joanna Rutkowska). It will be published as open source. The main idea is to make this hypervisor small and avoid as much emulation as possible. > This isn't really paravirt since it's just your usual LAPIC interrupt; it's > either some paravirt *bus* that you're implementing, or some MSI-capable > platform device (in which case I'm not sure what the irq_mask and > irq_unmask function arguments to paravirq_init_chip would do).

There is some kernel module for special interactions between guest VMs. Currently it has to register a MSI-capable PCI device to handle interrupts injected by the hypervisor. And the bare-metal hypervisor has to emulate such a device for guest VMs. So I've implemented paravirq irq_domain to avoid this redundant emulation. With it we can just call: - paravirq_alloc_irq() to allocate a LAPIC irq; - request_irq() for it; - irqd_cfg(irq_get_irq_data()) to get the corresponding interrupt vector and inform the hypervisor about it. Now we happily handle the irq from the hypervisor when it injects this vector. The irq_mask/irq_unmask parameters of paravirq_init_chip() are the pointers to the functions from the interaction module which ask the hypervisor to start/stop injecting interrupts to the guest VM. Paravirq irq_domain allows to avoid the PCI device emulation in the hypervisor and provides the ability to run slimmer Linux guests without precompiled PCI and MSI support. Did I manage to answer your questions? Please correct me if the idea is wrong or there's a better way to do that.
