[RFC PATCH 06/23] x86/ioapic: Add support for IRQCHIP_CAN_DELIVER_AS_NMI with interrupt remapping

From: Ricardo Neri <hidden>
Date: 2018-06-13 01:06:14
Also in: linux-iommu, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Even though there is a delivery mode field at the entries of an IO APIC's
redirection table, the documentation of the majority of the IO APICs
explicitly states that interrupt delivery as non-maskable is not supported.
Thus,

However, when using an IO APIC in combination with the Intel VT-d interrupt
remapping functionality, the delivery of the interrupt to the CPU is
handled by the remapping hardware. In such a case, the interrupt can be
delivered as non maskable.

Thus, add the IRQCHIP_CAN_DELIVER_AS_NMI flag only when used in combination
with interrupt remapping.
