[PATCH v3 00/10] Move vfio_ccw to the new mdev API

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

 



This addresses Cornelia's remark on the earlier patch that ccw has a
confusing lifecycle. While it doesn't seem like the original attempt was
functionally wrong, the result can be made better with a lot of further
work.

Reorganize the driver so that the mdev owns the private memory and
controls the lifecycle, not the css_driver. The memory associated with the
css_driver lifecycle is only the mdev_parent/mdev_type registration.

Along the way we change when the sch is quiescent or not to be linked to
the open/close_device lifetime of the vfio_device, which is sort of what
it was tring to do already, just not completely.

The troublesome racey lifecycle of the css_driver callbacks is made clear
with simple vfio_device refcounting so a callback is only delivered into a
registered vfio_device and has obvious correctness.

Move the only per-css_driver state, the "available instance" counter, into
the core code and share that logic with many of the other drivers. The
value is kept in the mdev_type memory.

Jason Gunthorpe (10):
  vfio/ccw: Remove unneeded GFP_DMA
  vfio/ccw: Use functions for alloc/free of the vfio_ccw_private
  vfio/ccw: Pass vfio_ccw_private not mdev_device to various functions
  vfio/ccw: Convert to use vfio_register_emulated_iommu_dev()
  vfio/ccw: Make the FSM complete and synchronize it to the mdev
  vfio/mdev: Consolidate all the device_api sysfs into the core code
  vfio/mdev: Add mdev available instance checking to the core
