The adapter interruption virtualization (AIV) facility is an optional facility that comes with functionality expected to increase the performance of adapter interrupt handling for both emulated and passed-through adapter interrupts. With AIV, adapter interrupts can be delivered to the guest without exiting SIE. This patch provides some preparations for using AIV for emulated adapter interrupts (including virtio) if it's available. When using AIV, the interrupts are delivered at the so called GISA by setting the bit corresponding to its Interruption Subclass (ISC) in the Interruption Pending Mask (IPM) instead of inserting a node into the floating interrupt list. To keep the change reasonably small, the handling of this new state is deferred in get_all_floating_irqs and handle_tpi. This patch concentrates on the code handling enqueuement of emulated adapter interrupts, and their delivery to the guest. Note that care is still required for adapter interrupts using AIV, because there is no guarantee that AIV is going to deliver the adapter interrupts pending at the GISA (consider all vcpus idle). When delivering GISA adapter interrupts by the host (usual mechanism) special attention is required to honor interrupt priorities. Empirical results show that the time window between making an interrupt pending at the GISA and doing kvm_s390_deliver_pending_interrupts is sufficient for a guest with at least moderate cpu activity to get adapter interrupts delivered within the SIE, and potentially save some SIE exits (if not other deliverable interrupts). The code will be activated with a follow-up patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
