[v4 11/16] KVM: kvm-vfio: User API for VT-d Posted-Interrupts

Show all headers | View raw

This patch adds and documents two new attributes
KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POST_IRQ and KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_UNPOST_IRQ
in KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE group. The new attributes are used for
VT-d Posted-Interrupts.

When guest OS changes the interrupt configuration for an
assigned device, such as, MSI/MSIx data/address fields,
QEMU will use this IRQ attribute to tell KVM to update the
related IRTE according the VT-d Posted-Interrrupts Specification,
such as, the guest vector should be updated in the related IRTE.
