The Guest Information Block (GIB) links the GISA of all guests that have adapter interrupts pending. These interrupts cannot be delivered because all vcpus of these guests are currently in WAIT state or have masked the respective Interruption Sub Class (ISC). If enabled, a GIB alert is issued on the host to schedule these guests to run suitable vcpus to consume the pending interruptions. This mechanism allows to process adapter interrupts for currently not running guests. The GIB is created during host initialization and associated with the Adapter Interruption Facility in case an Adapter Interruption Virtualization Facility is available. The GIB initialization and thus the activation of the related code will be done in an upcoming patch of this series.
