Xen is just involved in the delivery of the virtual interrupt, but
doesn't participate in its handling.

As I mentioned the first post, I also guess that the hypervisor intervention is required to route the virtual IPI.

So, I would like to know where the delivery code on Xen has been located because I could not find the delivery point for the virtual IPI.

Does the vmx_do_extint() function delivery the IPI through __do_IRQ_guest() ??

Thank you for your kind advice.
