If I understand correctly, this will cause these IRQs to be forwarded
directly to the VCPU, e.g. will be handled by the guest/qemu.


Yes, if it can bypassed, the interrupt will be delivered to vCPU directly.


Does this mean that the host will not handle this interrupt? How does it
work in case on level triggered interrupts?


There's no guarantee that the KVM arch code can make sure the irq bypass work for any type of irq. So if they the irq will still need to be handled by host first. This means we should keep the host interrupt handler as a slowpath (fallback).



In the case of ConnectX, I need to execute some code to acknowledge the
interrupt.


This turns out to be hard for irq bypassing to work. Is it because the irq is shared or what kind of ack you need to do?

Thanks



Can you explain how this should be done?
