[PATCH v5 1/4] kvm: Extend irqfd to support level interrupts

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Mon Jul 16 2012 - 16:34:45 EST


In order to inject a level interrupt from an external source using an
irqfd, we need to allocate a new irq_source_id. This allows us to
assert and (later) de-assert an interrupt line independently from
users of KVM_IRQ_LINE and avoid lost interrupts.

We also add what may appear like a bit of excessive infrastructure
around an object for storing this irq_source_id. However, notice
that we only provide a way to assert the interrupt here. A follow-on
interface will make use of the same irq_source_id to allow de-assert.

and kvm_irqfd.gsi.

+The KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_LEVEL flag indicates the gsi input is for a level
+triggered interrupt. In this case a new irqchip input is allocated
+which is logically OR'd with other inputs allowing multiple sources
+to independently assert level interrupts. The KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_LEVEL
+is only necessary on setup, teardown is identical to that above.
+KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_LEVEL support is indicated by KVM_CAP_IRQFD_LEVEL.
