Abstract: Completion interrupts corresponding to I/O requests issued by a virtual machine guest, which runs on a host platform, are virtualized in such a way that I/O completion interrupts to the requesting guest are delivered no faster than it can stably handle them, but, when possible, faster than the nominal speed of a virtual device to which a virtual machine addresses the I/O request. In general, completion events received from the host platform in response to guest I/O requests are examined with respect to time. If enough time has passed that the virtual device would normally have completed the I/O request, then the completion interrupt is delivered to the guest. If the nominal time has not elapsed, however, the invention enqueues and time-stamps the event and delivers it at the earliest of a) the normal maturity time, or b) at a safepoint.

Abstract translation: 在主机平台上运行的虚拟机访客发出的I / O请求相应的完成中断被虚拟化，使得对请求的客户端的I / O完成中断的传送速度不会比可以稳定地处理它们的速度更快，而是 在可能的情况下，虚拟机对于I / O请求所对应的虚拟设备的标称速度更快。 一般来说，根据客户端I / O请求从主机平台接收到的完成事件将相对于时间进行检查。 如果虚拟设备通常已经完成了I / O请求的足够的时间，则完成中断将传递给客户端。 然而，如果没有经过标称时间，本发明会在a）正常到期时间的最早时间排队和时间戳，并且b）在一个安全点。
