As explained above, when an interrupt event significant to the hyper-kernel occurs, the hyper-kernel makes a decision of how to respond to the interrupt. Before control is returned to the operating system, any higher priority interrupts are recognized and appropriate actions are taken. Also as explained above, the hyper-kernel can make three separate decisions: (1) which resources to migrate upon certain events, (2) when to migrate them, and (3) to where those resources should move.
In the following example, suppose a scheduler object “s” in a virtual machine is in steady state. Each scheduler object corresponding to a physical node has a set of physical processor sockets assigned to it. Hyperthreads in these sockets may or may not be busy. The physical node also has some fixed amount of main memory and a set of I/O devices, including some network devices. Scheduler object s, when corresponding to a node, is also responsible for managing the networks and other I/O devices assigned to nodes in the subtree rooted at s. The following is a description of how resources can migrate upon either synchronous or asynchronous events.
Migrations Triggered by Synchronous Events
