2.18.23 IECTL_REG—Invalidation Completion Event Control
Register
This register specifies the invalidation event interrupt control bits. The register is
treated as reserved by implementations reporting Queued Invalidation (QI) as not
supported in the Extended Capability register.
B/D/F/Type: 0/2/0/GFXVTBAR
Address Offset: A0–A3h
Reset Value: 80000000h

Description
31 RO 1b
Interrupt Mask (IM)
0 = No masking of interrupt. When a invalidation event condition is
detected, hardware issues an interrupt message (using the Invalidation
Event Data & Invalidation Event Address register values).
1 = This is the value on reset. Software may mask interrupt message
generation by setting this field. Hardware is prohibited from sending the
interrupt message when this field is Set.
30 RO 0b
Interrupt Pending (IP)
Hardware sets the IP field whenever it detects an interrupt condition.
Interrupt condition is defined as:
An Invalidation Wait Descriptor with Interrupt Flag (IF) field Set
completed, setting the IWC field in the Invalidation Completion Status
register.
If the IWC field in the Invalidation Completion Status register was
already Set at the time of setting this field, it is not treated as a new
interrupt condition.
The IP field is kept Set by hardware while the interrupt message is held
pending. The interrupt message could be held pending due to interrupt mask
(IM field) being Set, or due to other transient hardware conditions. The IP
field is cleared by hardware as soon as the interrupt message pending
condition is serviced. This could be due to either:
Hardware issuing the interrupt message due to either change in the
transient hardware condition that caused interrupt message to be held
pending or due to software clearing the IM field.
Software servicing the IWC field in the Invalidation Completion Status
register.
