From 705699a139948a671cd66b915e8095c95fdf44d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wincy Van Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 23:58:17 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Enable nested posted interrupt processing If vcpu has a interrupt in vmx non-root mode, injecting that interrupt requires a vmexit. With posted interrupt processing, the vmexit is not needed, and interrupts are fully taken care of by hardware. In nested vmx, this feature avoids much more vmexits than non-nested vmx. When L1 asks L0 to deliver L1's posted interrupt vector, and the target VCPU is in non-root mode, we use a physical ipi to deliver POSTED_INTR_NV to the target vCPU. Using POSTED_INTR_NV avoids unexpected interrupts if a concurrent vmexit happens and L1's vector is different with L0's. The IPI triggers posted interrupt processing in the target physical CPU. In case the target vCPU was not in guest mode, complete the posted interrupt delivery on the next entry to L2. Signed-off-by: Wincy Van Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini --- Reading git-format-patch failed
