Subject: [PATCH v1] kvm: x86: implement PV send_IPI method
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:24:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250718062429.238723-1-lulu@redhat.com> (raw)
From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>
We used to have PV version of send_IPI_mask and
send_IPI_mask_allbutself. This patch implements PV send_IPI method to
reduce the number of vmexits.
