IIRC it was 24, could be > 26 though. The number of redirection entries in the IOAPIC can be discovered reading from the IOAPICVER register and it is a property of a specific model of IOAPIC. As a matter of fact Xen's emulated IOAPIC supports more pins than the most popular IOAPIC used with PIIX3. > I haven't seen a single case where PCI devices have a direct link to the > IO-APIC.

Actually this happens quite often: if I am not mistaken all the GSIs higher than 15 are actually the result of a direct connection between an interrupt source and the IOAPIC. I have several on my testboxes. Also give a look at the Intel Multiprocessor Specification, section 3.6.2.3: as you can see from the diagram in "Symmetric I/O Mode" all the interrupts are routed through the IOAPIC directly. > Did this really give you actual performance/latency/scalability gains?

Also this is how Xen has been working for more then 5 years in HVM mode, so this configuration is well tested and supported by most operating systems (at least all the ones we tried so far). In any case I think it is a good idea to add a comment to better explain what we are doing, see below. commit 973bb091a967fdec37a1bc8fe30d46a483d2903d Author: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue May 17 12:10:36 2011 +0000 xen: fix interrupt routing - remove i440FX-xen and i440fx_write_config_xen we don't need to intercept pci config writes to i440FX anymore; - introduce PIIX3-xen and piix3_write_config_xen we do need to intercept pci config write to the PCI-ISA bridge to update the PCI link routing; - set the number of PIIX3-xen interrupts line to 128; Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/hw/pc.h b/hw/pc.h index 0dcbee7..6d5730b 100644 --- a/hw/pc.h +++ b/hw/pc.h @@ -176,7 +176,6 @@ struct PCII440FXState; typedef struct PCII440FXState PCII440FXState; PCIBus *i440fx_init(PCII440FXState **pi440fx_state, int *piix_devfn, qemu_irq *pic, ram_addr_t ram_size); -PCIBus *i440fx_xen_init(PCII440FXState **pi440fx_state, int *piix3_devfn, qemu_irq *pic, ram_addr_t ram_size); void i440fx_init_memory_mappings(PCII440FXState *d); /* piix4.c */ diff --git a/hw/pc_piix.c b/hw/pc_piix.c index 9a22a8a..ba198de 100644 --- a/hw/pc_piix.c +++ b/hw/pc_piix.c @@ -124,11 +124,7 @@ static void pc_init1(ram_addr_t ram_size, isa_irq = qemu_allocate_irqs(isa_irq_handler, isa_irq_state, 24); if (pci_enabled) { - if (!xen_enabled()) { - pci_bus = i440fx_init(&i440fx_state, &piix3_devfn, isa_irq, ram_size); - } else { - pci_bus = i440fx_xen_init(&i440fx_state, &piix3_devfn, isa_irq, ram_size); - } + pci_bus = i440fx_init(&i440fx_state, &piix3_devfn, isa_irq, ram_size); } else { pci_bus = NULL; i440fx_state = NULL; diff --git a/hw/piix_pci.c b/hw/piix_pci.c index 7f1c4cc..1e29ec4 100644 --- a/hw/piix_pci.c +++ b/hw/piix_pci.c @@ -40,6 +40,7 @@ typedef PCIHostState I440FXState; #define PIIX_NUM_PIC_IRQS 16 /* i8259 * 2 */ #define PIIX_NUM_PIRQS 4ULL /* PIRQ[A-D] */ +#define XEN_PIIX_NUM_PIRQS 128ULL #define PIIX_PIRQC 0x60 typedef struct PIIX3State { @@ -78,6 +79,8 @@ struct PCII440FXState { #define I440FX_SMRAM 0x72 static void piix3_set_irq(void *opaque, int pirq, int level); +static void piix3_write_config_xen(PCIDevice *dev, + uint32_t address, uint32_t val, int len); /* return the global irq number corresponding to a given device irq pin.
