We can't afford the overhead of switching out and back into mmap mode around each interrupt, but we can do it lazily via a timer. On INTx interrupt, disable the mmap'd memory regions and set a timer. On every interrupt, push the timer out. If the timer expires and the interrupt is no longer pending, switch back to mmap mode. This has the benefit that things like graphics cards, which rarely or never, fire an interrupt don't need manual user intervention to add the x-intx=off parameter. They'll just remain in mmap mode until they trigger an interrupt, and if they don't continue to regularly fire interrupts, they'll switch back. The default timeout is tuned for network cards so that a ping is just enough to keep them in non-mmap mode, where they have much better latency. It is tunable with an experimental option, x-intx-mmap-timeout-ms. A value of 0 keeps the device in non-mmap mode after the first interrupt. It's possible we could look at the class code of devices and come up with reasonable per-class defaults based on expected interrupt frequency and latency. None of this is used for MSI interrupts and also won't be used if we can bypass through KVM. Signed-off-by: NAlex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
