    KVM: x86: deliver KVM IOAPIC scan request to target vCPUs · 7ee30bc1
    Nitesh Narayan Lal 提交于
    In IOAPIC fixed delivery mode instead of flushing the scan
    requests to all vCPUs, we should only send the requests to
    vCPUs specified within the destination field.
    
    This patch introduces kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() API which
    retrieves an array of target vCPUs by using
    kvm_apic_map_get_dest_lapic() and then based on the
    vcpus_idx, it sets the bit in a bitmap. However, if the above
    fails kvm_get_dest_vcpus_mask() finds the target vCPUs by
    traversing all available vCPUs. Followed by setting the
    bits in the bitmap.
    
    If we had different vCPUs in the previous request for the
    same redirection table entry then bits corresponding to
    these vCPUs are also set. This to done to keep
    ioapic_handled_vectors synchronized.
    
    This bitmap is then eventually passed on to
    kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() to generate a masked request
    only for the target vCPUs.
    
    This would enable us to reduce the latency overhead on isolated
    vCPUs caused by the IPI to process due to KVM_REQ_IOAPIC_SCAN.
