how does irqfd trigger interrupt in the guest

29 views Asked by At

I'm trying to understand irqfd's and how KVM can interrupt the guest and have it execute its interrupt handler. This document mentions binding a file descriptor to an interrupt but the entire flow of interrupt propagation from KVM to guest kernel isn't fully clear. The answer to this question mentions emulating a HW pin, how does that work? What triggers the guest to schedule its ISR?
