[PATCH v8 18/20] KVM: selftests: Verify vCPU migration during IRQ delivery in IRQ test
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 17:39:33 EST
From: David Matlack <dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx>
Extend the eventfd IRQ test with a '-m' flag to have the test migrate the
target vCPU to a random physical CPU before triggering its interrupt, e.g.
to validate KVM's ability to update device posted IRQ routing.

[sean: pin one vCPU at a time to simplify things, use main()'s affinity]
