Actually, we already have this capability, it's KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING. If we have this capability,
and want to use irqfds with GICv3, we need to set KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID. And there is no other way to
use irqfds with GICv3.
Just for example, this is what i have done in qemu:
--- cut ---
int kvm_irqchip_add_msi_route(KVMState *s, MSIMessage msg, PCIDevice *dev)
{
struct kvm_irq_routing_entry kroute = {};
int virq;
if (kvm_gsi_direct_mapping()) {
return kvm_arch_msi_data_to_gsi(msg.data);
}
if (!kvm_gsi_routing_enabled()) {
return -ENOSYS;
}
virq = kvm_irqchip_get_virq(s);
if (virq < 0) {
return virq;
}
kroute.gsi = virq;
kroute.type = KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_MSI;
kroute.u.msi.address_lo = (uint32_t)msg.address;
kroute.u.msi.address_hi = msg.address >> 32;
kroute.u.msi.data = le32_to_cpu(msg.data);
kroute.flags = kvm_msi_flags;
if (kroute.flags & KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID) {
kroute.u.msi.devid = (pci_bus_num(dev->bus) << 8) | dev->devfn;
}
if (kvm_arch_fixup_msi_route(&kroute, msg.address, msg.data)) {
kvm_irqchip_release_virq(s, virq);
return -EINVAL;
}
kvm_add_routing_entry(s, &kroute);
kvm_irqchip_commit_routes(s);
return virq;
}
--- cut ---
ITS code in qemu just does:
---cut ---
msi_supported = true;
kvm_msi_flags = KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID;
kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed = kvm_has_gsi_routing();
kvm_gsi_routing_allowed = kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed;
--- cut ---
I set KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID unconditionally here just because it will never be checked if
kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed is false, it's just qemu specifics. The more canonical form would perhaps
be:
--- cut ---
if (kvm_has_gsi_routing()) {
kvm_msi_flags = KVM_MSI_VALID_DEVID;
kvm_gsi_routing_allowed = true;
kvm_msi_via_irqfd_allowed = true;
}
--- cut ---
I can post my sets as RFCs to qemu mailing list, if you want to take a look at the whole change
set.
