This function processes the Gib Alert List (GAL). It is required
to run when either a gib alert interruption has been received or
a gisa that is in the alert list is cleared or dropped.

The GAL is build up by millicode, when the respective ISC bit is
set in the Interruption Alert Mask (IAM) and an interruption of
that class is observed.

Assuming that the vcpu can/will take all ISCs it's currently open for
does not seem right. We kind of rely on this assumption here, or?

My latest version of this routine already follows a different strategy.
It looks for a horizontal distribution of pending ISCs among idle vcpus.

We may finish handling the alerted gisa with iam not set e.g.
via some vcpus kicked but ipm still dirty and some vcpus still in wait,
or?

My above mentioned change to the routine identifying the vcpus to kick
will select one vcpu for each ISC pending if possible (depends on the
number of idle vcpus and their respective interruption masks and the
pending ISCs).

That does not exclude the principle scenario that maybe only one vcpu
is kicked and multiple ISCs are pending (ipm still dirty) although
have never observed this with a Linux guest.

What I was trying to avoid was a kind of busy loop running in addition
to the kicked vcpus monitoring the IPM state for resource utilization
reasons.


From the comments it seems we speculate on being in a safe state, as
these are supposed to return to wait or stop soon-ish, and we will set
iam then (See <MARK A>). I don't quite understand.


Yes, the next vcpu going idle shall restore the IAM or process the
top ISC pending if the iomask (GCR) allows. vcpus are not allowed to go in disabled wait (IO int disabled by PSW). If all vcpus always (for
some time) mask a specific ISC the guest does not want to get interrupted for that ISC but will as soon a running vcpu will open
the mask again.


According to my current understanding we might end up loosing initiative
in this scenario. Or am I wrong?

I currently don't have proof for you being wrong but have not observed
the situation yet.
