[PATCH 00/10] Remove vfio_group from the struct file facing VFIO API

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

 



This is the other half of removing the vfio_group from the externally
facing VFIO API.

VFIO provides an API to manipulate its struct file *'s for use by KVM and
VFIO PCI. Instead of converting the struct file into a ref counted struct
vfio_group simply use the struct file as the handle throughout the API.

Along the way some of the APIs are simplified to be more direct about what
they are trying to do with an eye to making future iommufd implementations
for all of them.

This also simplifies the container_users ref counting by not holding a
users refcount while KVM holds the group file.

Removing vfio_group from the external facing API is part of the iommufd
work to modualize and compartmentalize the VFIO container and group object
to be entirely internal to VFIO itself.

Jason Gunthorpe (10):
  kvm/vfio: Move KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_* ioctls into functions
  kvm/vfio: Reduce the scope of PPC #ifdefs
  kvm/vfio: Store the struct file in the kvm_vfio_group
  vfio: Use a struct of function pointers instead of a many
    symbol_get()'s
  vfio: Move vfio_external_user_iommu_id() to vfio_file_ops
  vfio: Remove vfio_external_group_match_file()
  vfio: Move vfio_external_check_extension() to vfio_file_ops
  vfio: Move vfio_group_set_kvm() into vfio_file_ops
  kvm/vfio: Remove vfio_group from kvm
  vfio/pci: Use the struct file as the handle not the vfio_group
