Hi Peter,

Thanks, that makes perfect sense and explains why Linux behaves the
way it does (__eoi_ioapic_pin in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c).

This document makes it look like suppress EOI-broadcast always implies
directed EOI, though:

http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/specification-update/64-architecture-x2apic-specification.pdf

NB "The support for Directed EOI capability can be detected by means
of bit 24 in the Local APIC Version Register. "

There is no mention of APIC version or any other detection mechanism
for directed EOI. Maybe the chip being x2APIC implies version >= 0x20
but I don't see that in the document either.

I suspect that Microsoft implemented EOI by following this same spec.
Level-triggered interrupts don't work right on Windows Server 2016
with Hyper-V enabled without this patch.

Yes, I think that the guest is to blame here. We might add that to the
commit message.

Because it's already been done as part of the local EOI. With directed
EOI we hit this function twice, first time when doing the local EOI
and then the newly added code path for IOAPIC EOI with directed=true.

I, again, followed the above mentioned document which explicitly
dictates the sequence. And I mechanically split the function to the
"local part' - what it had been doing up to the continue statement -
and the "directed part" - what it had been skipping. I'll admit that
my familiarity with this code is limited and there may be a better way
to do this.

Thanks!
