[PATCH] [APIC] Optimize searching for highest IRR

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

 



Most of the time IRR is empty, so instead of scanning the whole IRR on
each VM entry keep a variable that tells us if IRR is not empty. IRR
will have to be scanned twice on each IRQ delivery, but this is much more
rare than VM entry.
