The +kernel will not deliver INTx interrupts to the guest between setting and +clearing of KVM_ASSIGN_SET_INTX_MASK via this interface. This enables use of +and emulation of PCI 2.3 INTx disable command register behavior. + +This may be used for both PCI 2.3 devices supporting INTx disable natively and +older devices lacking this support. Userspace is responsible for emulating the +read value of the INTx disable bit in the guest visible PCI command register. +When modifying the INTx disable state, userspace should precede updating the +physical device command register by calling this ioctl to inform the kernel of +the new intended INTx mask state. + +Note that the kernel uses the device INTx disable bit to internally manage the +device interrupt state for PCI 2.3 devices. Reads of this register may +therefore not match the expected value. Writes should always use the guest +intended INTx disable value rather than attempting to read-copy-update the +current physical device state. Races between user and kernel updates to the +INTx disable bit are handled lazily in the kernel. It's possible the device +may generate unintended interrupts, but they will not be injected into the +guest. + +See KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ for the data structure.
