Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: Improve IRQ assignment for device passthrough
Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2010 16:49:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1288712958.git.jan.kiszka@siemens.com> (raw)
Four patches to improve "classic" device assigment /wrt IRQs. Highlight
is the last one that resolves the host IRQ sharing issue for all PCI 2.3
devices. Quite essential when passing non-MSI-ready devices like many
USB host controllers.
Changes in v2:
- Reworked IRQ forwarding path to use threaded IRQs (direct signalling
from IRQ context does not work out of the box and may be too lengthy)
- Refactored host IRQ naming of assigned devices (cosmetic change)
- Avoid unmask on ack when the next IRQ is pending, rather reassert the
guest line (PCI-2.3 patch)
- Refactored PCI-2.3 patch (but still no control knob for shared mode -
is that a must?)
Jan Kiszka (4):
KVM: Clear assigned guest IRQ on release
KVM: Switch assigned device IRQ forwarding to threaded handler
KVM: Refactor IRQ names of assigned devices
KVM: Allow host IRQ sharing for passed-through PCI 2.3 devices
