With IPI virtualization enabled, the processor emulates writes to APIC registers that would send IPIs. The processor sets the bit corresponding to the vector in target vCPU's PIR and may send a notification (IPI) specified by NDST and NV fields in target vCPU's Posted-Interrupt Descriptor (PID). It is similar to what IOMMU engine does when dealing with posted interrupt from devices. A PID-pointer table is used by the processor to locate the PID of a vCPU with the vCPU's APIC ID. The table size depends on maximum APIC ID assigned for current VM session from userspace. Allocating memory for PID-pointer table is deferred to vCPU creation, because irqchip mode and VM-scope maximum APIC ID is settled at that point. KVM can skip PID-pointer table allocation if !irqchip_in_kernel(). Like VT-d PI, if a vCPU goes to blocked state, VMM needs to switch its notification vector to wakeup vector. This can ensure that when an IPI for blocked vCPUs arrives, VMM can get control and wake up blocked vCPUs. And if a VCPU is preempted, its posted interrupt notification is suppressed. Note that IPI virtualization can only virualize physical-addressing, flat mode, unicast IPIs. Sending other IPIs would still cause a trap-like APIC-write VM-exit and need to be handled by VMM.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
