Subject: [PATCH v3 07/10] KVM: x86/lapic: Track unicast fixed IPI delivery
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:33:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612013355.59231-8-kernellwp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612013355.59231-1-kernellwp@gmail.com>
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>
Record IPI sender/receiver relationships from both LAPIC delivery paths:
the APIC-map fast path and the slow fallback.
Only record a directed sender->receiver hint when the IPI originates from
a vCPU, uses APIC_DM_FIXED delivery, has no destination shorthand, is
accepted by exactly one destination vCPU, and is not a self-IPI. The
tracking helper also filters the disabled case.
This change only records the relationship; directed-yield candidate
selection is unchanged.
