[PATCH] x86/hyperv: reserve more vectors

From: wei.liu@kernel.org
Date: 2026-07-30 00:50:22
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hyper-v/azure core and drivers, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: "K. Y. Srinivasan", Haiyang Zhang, Wei Liu, Dexuan Cui, Long Li, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Wei Liu <wei.liu@kernel.org>

Microsoft Hypervisor delivers three vectors to the NT HAL running in the
root partition and refuses to map a device interrupt to any of them when
interrupt remapping is not available in the system. As of writing, the
nested MSHV setup has no interrupt remapping capability.

The three vectors are:

  HAL_NT_APC_VECTOR		0x1F
  HAL_NT_DPC_VECTOR		0x2F
  HAL_NT_CLOCK_IPI_VECTOR	0xD2

0x1F is below FIRST_EXTERNAL_VECTOR so the vector allocator never hands
it out, but 0x2F and 0xD2 are both inside the allocatable range and are
handed out once enough vectors are in use. Mapping such an interrupt
then fails with HV_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER, and the interrupt is never
delivered.

Reserve all three next to the hypervisor debug vectors that are already
kept out of the allocator's hands.
