Of course, this simply doesn't fit with the UAPI of KVM's per-vCPU dirty ring. Introduce a new flavor of dirty ring that requires the use of both vCPU dirty rings and a dirty bitmap. The expectation is that for non-vCPU sources of dirty memory (such as the GIC ITS on arm64), KVM writes to the dirty bitmap. Userspace should scan the dirty bitmap before migrating the VM to the target. Use an additional capability to advertize this behavior and require explicit opt-in to avoid breaking the existing dirty ring ABI. And yes, you can use this with your preferred flavor of DIRTY_RING[_ACQ_REL]. Do not allow userspace to enable dirty ring if it hasn't also enabled the ring && bitmap capability, as a VM is likely DOA without the pages marked in the bitmap.

Lets avoid mentioning it in the subject since it's a add-on functionality and not all architectures need it.

When KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP returns 1, it means the arch can dirty guest pages without vcpu/ring context, so that some of the dirty information will still be maintained in the bitmap structure. Note that the bitmap here is only a backup of the ring structure, and it doesn't need to be collected until the final switch-over of migration process. Normally the bitmap should only contain a very small amount of dirty pages only, which needs to be transferred during VM downtime. To collect dirty bits in the backup bitmap, the userspace can use the same KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. Since it's always the last phase of migration that needs the fetching of dirty bitmap, KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl should not be needed in this case and its behavior undefined. That's how I understand this new cap, but let me know if you think any of above is inproper.
Yes, It looks much better to describe how KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP is used. However, the missed part is the capability is still need to be enabled prior to KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL on ARM64. It means the capability needs to be acknowledged (confirmed) by user space. Otherwise, KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL can't be enabled successfully. It seems Oliver, you and I aren't on same page for this part. Please refer to below reply for more discussion. After the discussion is finalized, I can amend the description accordingly here.

Yep, good point. I will mention the ioctl here.

I think that'll make sense, because without the bitmap the ring won't work with arm64, so not valid to not enable it at all. But good to double check with Oliver too. The rest looks good to me, thanks,
It was suggested by Oliver to expose KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP. The user space also needs to enable the capability prior to KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL on ARM64. I may be missing something since Oliver and you had lots of discussion on this particular new capability. I'm fine to drop the bits to enable KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_WITH_BITMAP. It means the capability is exposed to user space on ARM64 and user space need __not__ to enable it prior to KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ACQ_REL. I would like Oliver helps to confirm before I'm able to post v7.
