[PATCH v4 0/5] KVM: x86: hyperv: PV IPI support for Windows guests

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Tue Jul 03 2018 - 09:42:16 EST


Changes since v3 [Roman Kagan]:
- Don't use vcpu_id in kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask to avoid dealing with
sparse CPU masks.
- Create get_vcpu_idx_by_vpidx() and use it in get_vcpu_by_vpidx() and
kvm_hv_flush_tlb().

Using hypercall for sending IPIs is faster because this allows to specify
any number of vCPUs (even > 64 with sparse CPU set), the whole procedure
will take only one VMEXIT.

Same as PV TLB flush, this allows Windows guests having > 64 vCPUs to boot
on KVM when Hyper-V extensions are enabled.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (5):
KVM: x86: hyperv: enforce vp_index < KVM_MAX_VCPUS
KVM: x86: hyperv: optimize 'all cpus' case in kvm_hv_flush_tlb()
KVM: x86: hyperv: use get_vcpu_by_vpidx() in kvm_hv_flush_tlb()
x86/hyper-v: rename ipi_arg_{ex,non_ex} structures
KVM: x86: hyperv: implement PV IPI send hypercalls
