After check host shared interrupts situation, I got a question here:

If I understand correctly, current solution don't block host shared irq, just come with the performance pentry. The penalty come with host disabled irq line for a period. We have to wait guest to write EOI. But I fail to see the correctness problem here (except a lot of spurious interrupt in the guest).

I've checked mail, but can't find clue about that. Can you explain the situation?


If the guest fails to disable interrupts on a device that shares an interrupt line with the host, the host will experience an interrupt flood. Eventually the host will disable the host device as well.
