The patch implements interruption injection for the following
list of interruption types:
- I/O
__deliver_io (III)
- External
__deliver_cpu_timer (IEI)
__deliver_ckc (IEI)
__deliver_emergency_signal (IEI)
__deliver_external_call (IEI)
__deliver_service (IEI)
- cpu restart
__deliver_restart (IRI)
What exactly is IRQ_PEND_EXT_SERVICE_EV? Can you add some comments whet the new interrupt does and why it is needed in this context? Thanks
I did that code. What about the following add-on description.
The ultravisor does several checks on injected interrupts. For example it will
check that for an sclp interrupt with an sccb address we had an servc exit
and exit with a validity intercept.
As the hypervisor must avoid valitity intercepts we now mask invalid interrupts.
s/valitity/validity/
There are also sclp interrupts that only inject an event (e.g. an input event
on the sclp consoles) those interrupts must not be masked.
Let us split out these "event interupts" from the normal sccb interrupts into
IRQ_PEND_EXT_SERVICE_EV.
Thanks for the clarification. From what I see, this is transparent from
user space - we only track these interrupts separately internally.
