Kirti is already adding vfio_register_notifier &
vfio_unregister_notifier, these are not exclusive to the iommu, I
clarified that in my question that IOVA range invalidation is just one
aspect of what that notifier might be used for. The mdev framework
also automatically registers and unregisters that notifier around
open/release. So, I don't think we want a new notifier, we just want
vfio.c to also consume that notifier.
So I think this patch needs a few components that build on what Kirti
has, 1) we add a blocking_notifier_head per vfio_group and have
vfio_{un}regsiter_notifier add and remove that notifier to the group
chain, 2) we create a vfio_group_notify() function that the kvm-vfio
pseudo device can call via symbol_get, 3) Have kvm-vfio call
vfio_group_notify() with VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM where the data is a
pointer to the struct kvm (or NULL to unset, we don't need separate set
vs unset notifiers). Does that work? Thanks,
Alex
