enAn inter-processor interrupt (IPI), also known as a shoulder tap, is a special type of interrupt by which one processor may interrupt another processor in a multiprocessor system if the interrupting processor requires action from the other processor. Actions that might be requested include: * flushes of memory management unit caches, such as translation lookaside buffers, on other processors when memory mappings are changed by one processor; * stopping when the system is being shut down by one processor. * Notify a processor that higher priority work is available. * Notify a processor of work that cannot be done on all processors due to, e.g., * asymmetric access to I/O channels * special features on some processors
