The 64 bit state word has the following bitfields, starting from the least-significant end of the word: * Destination (server number), 32 bits + This specifies where the interrupt should be sent, and is the interrupt server number specified for the destination vcpu. * Priority, 8 bits + This is the priority specified for this interrupt source, where 0 is the highest priority and 255 is the lowest. An interrupt with a priority of 255 will never be delivered. * Level sensitive flag, 1 bit + This bit is 1 for a level-sensitive interrupt source, or 0 for edge-sensitive (or MSI). * Masked flag, 1 bit + This bit is set to 1 if the interrupt is masked (cannot be delivered regardless of its priority), for example by the ibm,int-off RTAS call, or 0 if it is not masked. * Pending flag, 1 bit + This bit is 1 if the source has a pending interrupt, otherwise 0. Only one XICS instance may be created per VM. |
