[PATCH 0/8] vfio: Split the container code into a clean layer and dedicated file

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

 



This creates an isolated layer around the container FD code and everything
under it, including the VFIO iommu drivers. All this code is placed into
container.c, along with the "struct vfio_container" to compartmentalize
it.

Future patches will provide an iommufd based layer that gives the same API
as the container layer and choose which layer to go to based on how
userspace operates.

The patches continue to split up existing functions and finally the last
patch just moves every function that is a "container" function to the new
file and creates the global symbols to link them together.

Cross-file container functions are prefixed with vfio_container_* for
clarity.

The last patch can be defered and queued during the merge window to manage
conflicts. The earlier patches should be fine immediately conflicts wise.

This is the last big series I have to enable basic iommufd functionality.
As part of the iommufd series the entire container.c becomes conditionally
compiled:

This applies on top of the prior two series:
 Break up ioctl dispatch functions to one function per ioctl
 Remove private items from linux/vfio_pci_core.h
