[PATCH v3 05/12] x86/irq: Reserve a per CPU IDT vector for posted MSIs

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

 



When posted MSI is enabled, all device MSIs are multiplexed into a single
notification vector. MSI handlers will be de-multiplexed at run-time by
system software without IDT delivery.
