Humm, how does one implement interrupts without a parent interrupt? It uses the parent virtio,mmio interrupt?
Kind of, yeah, but not necessarily. The interrupt information is passed over buffers shared between host and guest. Now the guest may process the buffers when it receives a notification from the host, that will be at downpath of an interrupt for virtio,mmio. Or the guest may poll on the virtqueue and process any buffers as soon as they are made available, no interrupts then. -- viresh _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
