[PATCH V4 10/11] vfio/pci: Support dynamic MSI-X

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

 



pci_msix_alloc_irq_at() enables an individual MSI-X interrupt to be
allocated after MSI-X enabling.

Use dynamic MSI-X (if supported by the device) to allocate an interrupt
after MSI-X is enabled. An MSI-X interrupt is dynamically allocated at
the time a valid eventfd is assigned. This is different behavior from
a range provided during MSI-X enabling where interrupts are allocated
for the entire range whether a valid eventfd is provided for each
interrupt or not.

The PCI-MSIX API requires that some number of irqs are allocated for
an initial set of vectors when enabling MSI-X on the device. When
dynamic MSIX allocation is not supported, the vector table, and thus
the allocated irq set can only be resized by disabling and re-enabling
MSI-X with a different range. In that case the irq allocation is
essentially a cache for configuring vectors within the previously
allocated vector range. When dynamic MSI-X allocation is supported,
the API still requires some initial set of irqs to be allocated, but
also supports allocating and freeing specific irq vectors both
within and beyond the initially allocated range.

For consistency between modes, as well as to reduce latency and improve
reliability of allocations, and also simplicity, this implementation
only releases irqs via pci_free_irq_vectors() when either the interrupt
mode changes or the device is released.

Changes since V3:
- Remove vfio_msi_free_irq(). (Alex)
- Rework changelog. (Alex)

Changes since V2:
- Move vfio_irq_ctx_free() to earlier in series to support
  earlier usage. (Alex)
- Use consistent terms in changelog: MSI-x changed to MSI-X.
- Make dynamic interrupt context creation generic across all
  MSI/MSI-X interrupts. This resulted in code moving to earlier
  in series as part of xarray introduction patch. (Alex)
- Remove the local allow_dyn_alloc and direct calling of
  pci_msix_can_alloc_dyn(), use the new vdev->has_dyn_msix
  introduced earlier instead. (Alex)
- Stop tracking new allocations (remove "new_ctx"). (Alex)
- Introduce new wrapper that returns Linux interrupt number or
  dynamically allocate a new interrupt. Wrapper can be used for
  all interrupt cases. (Alex)
- Only free dynamic MSI-X interrupts on MSI-X teardown. (Alex)

Changes since RFC V1:
- Add pointer to interrupt context as function parameter to
  vfio_irq_ctx_free(). (Alex)
- Initialize new_ctx to false. (Dan Carpenter)
- Only support dynamic allocation if device supports it. (Alex)
