Hi Jason,
I tested below patch, it's okay, the e1000 interrupt storm disappeared.
But I am going to make a bit change on it, could you help review it?
Currently, we call ioapic_service() immediately when we find the irq is
still
active during eoi broadcast. But for real hardware, there's some dealy
between
the EOI writing and irq delivery (system bus latency?). So we need to
emulate
this behavior. Otherwise, for a guest who haven't register a proper irq
handler
, it would stay in the interrupt routine as this irq would be re-injected
immediately after guest enables interrupt. This would lead guest can't move
forward and may miss the possibility to get proper irq handler registered
(one
example is windows guest resuming from hibernation).
As there's no way to differ the unhandled irq from new raised ones, this
patch
solve this problems by scheduling a delayed work when the count of irq
injected
during eoi broadcast exceeds a threshold value. After this patch, the guest
can
move a little forward when there's no suitable irq handler in case it may
register one very soon and for guest who has a bad irq detection routine (
such
as note_interrupt() in linux ), this bad irq would be recognized soon as in
the
past.

I think ioapic-irq_eoi is prone to reach to 100, because during a eoi
broadcast,
it's possible that another interrupt's (not current eoi's corresponding
interrupt) irr is set, so the ioapic-irq_eoi will grow continually,
and not too long, ioapic-irq_eoi will reach to 100.
I want to add u32 irq_eoi[IOAPIC_NUM_PINS]; instead of u32 irq_eoi;.
Any ideas?

I'm a bit concerned how this will affect realtime guests.
Worth adding a flag
