Hi Srivatsa, Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve: [auto build test WARNING on vhost/linux-next] [also build test WARNING on xen-tip/linux-next linus/master v5.7-rc3 next-20200428] [cannot apply to swiotlb/linux-next] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system. BTW, we also suggest to use '--base' option to specify

KVM_HC_KICK_CPU hypercall added to wakeup halted vcpu in paravirtual spinlock enabled guest. KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT enables guest to check whether pv spinlock can be enabled in guest.

Hey, Linus released this Saturday v3.5 and there were quite a few of interesting components/fixes/features that went in! Going to go down the list of what shortlog provided: - Less MSR traps when using AMD machines - so better performance. [andre] - The APIC IPI interface works - which means that ''perf'' in the initial domain works. So no more lockups. Also with some

This series forms the kvm host part of paravirtual spinlock based against kvm tree. Please refer to https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/9/265 for kvm guest and Xen, x86 part merged to -tip spinlocks. Please note that: kvm uapi: Add KICK_CPU and PV_UNHALT definition to uapi is a common patch for both guest and host. Changes since V12: fold the patch 3 into patch 2 for bisection. (Eric Northup)

PCI is mostly just 2 registers. One sets the affected device, one the

The 5-patch series to follow this email extends KVM-hypervisor and Linux guest running on KVM-hypervisor to support pv-ticket spinlocks, based on Xen's implementation. One hypercall is introduced in KVM hypervisor,that allows a vcpu to kick another vcpu out of halt state. The blocking of vcpu is done using halt() in (lock_spinning) slowpath. Note: 1) patch is based on 3.4-rc3 + ticketlock

So that is a separate question. When there are multiple untrusted devices, at the moment it looks like a single bounce buffer is used. Which to me
