[PATCH v2 00/10] Introduce new methods for verifying ownership in vfio PCI hot reset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET requires user to pass an array of group fds
to prove that it owns all devices affected by resetting the calling
device. This series introduces several extensions to allow the ownership
check better aligned with iommufd and coming vfio device cdev support.

First, resetting an unopened device is always safe given nobody is using
it. So relax the check to allow such devices not covered by group fd
array. [1]

When iommufd is used we can simply verify that all affected devices are
bound to a same iommufd then no need for the user to provide extra fd
information. This is enabled by the user passing a zero-length fd array
and moving forward this should be the preferred way for hot reset. [2]

However the iommufd method has difficulty working with noiommu devices
since those devices don't have a valid iommufd, unless the noiommu device
is in a singleton dev_set hence no ownership check is required. [3]

For noiommu backward compatibility a 3rd method is introduced by allowing
the user to pass an array of device fds to prove ownership. [4]

As suggested by Jason [5], we have this series to introduce the above
stuffs to the vfio PCI hot reset. Per the dicussion in [6], this series
also adds a new _INFO ioctl to get hot reset scope for given device.

Change log:

v2:
 - Split the patch 03 of v1 to be 03, 04 and 05 of v2 (Jaon)
 - Add r-b from Kevin and Jason
 - Add patch 10 to introduce a new _INFO ioctl for the usage of device
   fd passing usage in cdev path (Jason, Alex)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20230316124156.12064-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
