IOAPIC scan requests with fixed delivery mode should only be delivered to the vCPUs specified by the destination ID. The second patch in this patch-set introduces an additional kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which retrieves a bitmap with bits set for each target vCPUs. This bitmap is later passed on to the kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask(). I have re-used the patch sent by Radim Krčmář, which adds the support to remember the position of each vCPUs in kvm->vcpus array. As I needed to find out the vCPUs index in kvm->vcpus array for setting the bits in the bitmap corresponding to the target vCPUs. This support will enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN. With the current implementation, the KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN is flushed on to all the vCPUs even if it is meant for just one of them. Testing: I have added the support for testing IOAPIC logical and physical destination mode under Fixed Delivery mode to kvm-unit-test and used it to test this patch. https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11230215/ Nitesh Narayan Lal (1): KVM: x86: deliver KVM IOAPIC scan request to target vCPUs Radim Krčmář (1): KVM: remember position in kvm->vcpus array arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 2 ++ arch/x86/kvm/ioapic.c | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/x86/kvm/lapic.h | 3 +++ arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 6 ++++++ include/linux/kvm_host.h | 13 +++++------- virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 19 ++++++++++++++++- 7 files changed, 110 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) --
