Hi Neo,
AFAIK this is needed because KVMGT doesn't paravirtualize the PPGTT,
while nVidia does.
Hi Paolo and Xiaoguang,
I am just wondering how device driver can register a notifier so he can be
notified for write-protected pages when writes are happening.
It can't yet, but the API is ready for that. kvm_vfio_set_group is
currently where a struct kvm_device* and struct vfio_group* touch. Given
a struct kvm_device*, dev->kvm provides the struct kvm to be passed to
kvm_page_track_register_notifier. So I guess you could add a callback
that passes the struct kvm_device* to the mdev device.
Xiaoguang and Guangrong, what were your plans? We discussed it briefly
at KVM Forum but I don't remember the details.
Your suggestion was that pass kvm fd to KVMGT via VFIO, so that we can
figure out the kvm instance based on the fd.
We got a new idea, how about search the kvm instance by mm_struct, it
can work as KVMGT is running in the vcpu context and it is much more
straightforward.
