[PATCH v3] KVM: Introduce direct MSI message injection for in-kernel irqchips

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

 



Currently, MSI messages can only be injected to in-kernel irqchips by
defining a corresponding IRQ route for each message. This is not only
unhandy if the MSI messages are generated "on the fly" by user space,
IRQ routes are a limited resource that user space as to manage
carefully.

By providing a direct injection path, we can both avoid using up limited
resources and simplify the necessary steps for user land.

Changes in v3:
 - align return code doc to reality
 - rename SET_MSI -> SIGNAL_MSI
