No, it should be the case that the device ISRs are only invoked about as often as in your scheme. The extra interrupts are only visible to Xen, and tell Xen to deassert the virtual INTx wire for any hvm-attached devices which share that physical interrupt. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
