Subject: [PATCH v6 0/7] KVM: x86: hyperv: PV IPI support for Windows guests
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 19:02:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180926170259.29796-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)

Changes since v5:
- New 'hybrid' approach to VP indexes: introduce 'num_mismatched_vp_indexes'
  and use it for optimization in both PV IPI and TLB flush [Paolo Bonzini,
  Roman Kagan].
- Rebase, KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SEND_IPI is now '160'.
- Patches 3-5 are new in this version.
- Drop "x86/hyper-v: rename ipi_arg_{ex,non_ex} structures" patch as it is
  already merged in kvm/queue.

Original description:
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 (7):
  KVM: x86: hyperv: enforce vp_index < KVM_MAX_VCPUS
  KVM: x86: hyperv: optimize 'all cpus' case in kvm_hv_flush_tlb()
  KVM: x86: hyperv: consistently use 'hv_vcpu' for 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv'
    variables
  KVM: x86: hyperv: keep track of mismatched VP indexes
  KVM: x86: hyperv: valid_bank_mask should be 'u64'
  KVM: x86: hyperv: optimize kvm_hv_flush_tlb() for vp_index == vcpu_idx
    case
  KVM: x86: hyperv: implement PV IPI send hypercalls
