[PATCH v4 00/11] s390x/pci: zPCI interpretation support

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

 



For QEMU, the majority of the work in enabling instruction interpretation       
is handled via a new KVM ioctls to enable interpretation, interrupt             
forwarding and registration of the guest IOAT tables.  In order to make         
use of the KVM-managed IOMMU domain operations on the host, we also add         
some code to vfio to indicate that a given device wishes to register the        
alternate domain type for its group.                                            
                                                                                
This series also adds a new, optional 'interpret' parameter to zpci which       
can be used to disable interpretation support (interpret=off) as well as        
an 'forwarding_assist' parameter to determine whether or not the firmware       
assist will be used for interrupt delivery (default when interpretation         
is in use) or whether the host will be responsible for delivering all           
interrupts (forwarding_assist=off).                                             
                                                                                
The ZPCI_INTERP CPU feature is added beginning with the z14 model to            
enable this support.                                                            
                                                                                
As a consequence of implementing zPCI interpretation, ISM devices now           
become eligible for passthrough (but only when zPCI interpretation is           
available).
