[Xen-devel] what the role platform-pci play in comunication between HVM and domain0

[胡少龙 <sunofblack@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Can someone interpret how HVM guest communicate with domain0, as i know, H VM 
can not use event channel directly, is the platform-pci offer a way to solve 
this?

Please try to explain concretely, for example :

1.how does HVM send a event to domain0, how does domain0 catch this event, and 
assoicate it with a handler 

2.the opposite direction, how does domain0 send event to HVM guest? Does it do 
something through the platform-pci? what the platform-pci does first? Does it 
create a virtual pci device? Then does domain0 send event to this pci device to 
fire a interupt ? How does it do this? Finally, I just need to deal with this 
interupt?

Something like that, i hope someone can give a detailed depiction that can make 
me draw a flow chart. Thanks.
