Interrupts used by Xen should not wake-up the system and will be disabled when we suspend the devices used by Xen. However, I need to double check that such interrupts get enabled on the right CPU on resume. Could you please tell me which mechanism in Xen is used to target such an interrupt to a secondary CPU only? Is that even possible and why would that be used? Currently, I have no way to try out SMMU but I could try UART. Thanks, Mirela > > [...] > >> >> If the former, it would be nice to get the code you used.
