[PATCH v2 00/12] KVM: s390: make use of the GIB

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

 



The Guest Information Area (GIB) and its mechanics is part of
the AIV facility. It provides hardware support to process
Adapter Interruptions (AI) for pagable storage mode guests. 

Whenever a guest cannot process an AI because none of its
vcpus is running in SIE context, a GIB alert interruption is
sent to and handled by the host program to dispatch a vcpu of
the respective guest.

Eventually, the AI is handled by the guest.

v1->v2:
  patch 01/12: New patch. Tt can go also standalone without the
  	       rest of the GIB series presented here but is a
	       requirement 
  patch 03/12: kvm_s390_gib_init() now has a return code
  patch 06/12: unlink_gib_alert_list() now uses cmpxchg() instead
    	       of atomic_xchg()
  patch 08/12: New patch. Foctors out __find_vcpu_for_floating_irq()
  patch 09/12: process_gib_alert_list() has been simplified
               the GISA clear/destroy cases have been removed
  patch 11/12: kvm_s390_gisa_clear/destroy() now clear the IAM
               and process the alert list directly
	       The IAM now gets restored in vcpu_post_run() only if
	       the GISA is not in alert list
  patch 12/12: during kvm_arch_init() now the return code of
    	       kvm_s390_gib_init() is honored.

All other patches are unchanged.
