From 210f84b0ca7743f3b2a9acfae81df668dbbb6a12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wincy Van Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 13:13:58 +0800 Subject: x86: irq: Define a global vector for nested posted interrupts We are using the same vector for nested/non-nested posted interrupts delivery, this may cause interrupts latency in L1 since we can't kick the L2 vcpu out of vmx-nonroot mode. This patch introduces a new vector which is only for nested posted interrupts to solve the problems above.
