Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:

 - VFIO updates for v4.10 primarily include a new Mediated Device
   interface, which essentially allows software defined devices to be
   exposed to users through VFIO. The host vendor driver providing this
   virtual device polices, or mediates user access to the device.

   These devices often incorporate portions of real devices, for
   instance the primary initial users of this interface expose vGPUs
   which allow the user to map mediated devices, or mdevs, to a portion
   of a physical GPU. QEMU composes these mdevs into PCI representations
   using the existing VFIO user API. This enables both Intel KVM-GT
   support, which is also expected to arrive into Linux mainline during
   the v4.10 merge window, as well as NVIDIA vGPU, and also Channel I/O
   devices (aka CCW devices) for s390 virtualization support. (Kirti
   Wankhede, Neo Jia)

 - Drop unnecessary uses of pcibios_err_to_errno() (Cao Jin)

 - Fixes to VFIO capability chain handling (Eric Auger)

 - Error handling fixes for fallout from mdev (Christophe JAILLET)

 - Notifiers to expose struct kvm to mdev vendor drivers (Jike Song)

 - type1 IOMMU model search fixes (Kirti Wankhede, Neo Jia)

What: /sys/.../<device>/mdev_supported_types/
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
This directory contains list of directories of currently
supported mediated device types and their details for
<device>. Supported type attributes are defined by the
vendor driver who registers with Mediated device framework.
Each supported type is a directory whose name is created
by adding the device driver string as a prefix to the
string provided by the vendor driver.

What: /sys/.../<device>/mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
This directory gives details of supported type, like name,
description, available_instances, device_api etc.
'device_api' and 'available_instances' are mandatory
attributes to be provided by vendor driver. 'name',
'description' and other vendor driver specific attributes
are optional.

What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/create
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
Writing UUID to this file will create mediated device of
type <type-id> for parent device <device>. This is a
write-only file.
For example:
# echo "83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001" > \
/sys/devices/foo/mdev_supported_types/foo-1/create

What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/devices/
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
This directory contains symbolic links pointing to mdev
devices sysfs entries which are created of this <type-id>.

What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/available_instances
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
Reading this attribute will show the number of mediated
devices of type <type-id> that can be created. This is a
readonly file.
Users:
Userspace applications interested in creating mediated
device of that type. Userspace application should check
the number of available instances could be created before
creating mediated device of this type.

What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/device_api
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
Reading this attribute will show VFIO device API supported
by this type. For example, "vfio-pci" for a PCI device,
"vfio-platform" for platform device.

What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/name
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
Reading this attribute will show human readable name of the
mediated device that will get created of type <type-id>.
This is optional attribute. For example: "Grid M60-0Q"
Users:
Userspace applications interested in knowing the name of
a particular <type-id> that can help in understanding the
type of mediated device.

What: /sys/.../mdev_supported_types/<type-id>/description
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
Reading this attribute will show description of the type of
mediated device that will get created of type <type-id>.
This is optional attribute. For example:
"2 heads, 512M FB, 2560x1600 maximum resolution"
Users:
Userspace applications interested in knowing the details of
a particular <type-id> that can help in understanding the
features provided by that type of mediated device.

What: /sys/.../<device>/<UUID>/
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
This directory represents device directory of mediated
device. It contains all the attributes related to mediated
device.

What: /sys/.../<device>/<UUID>/mdev_type
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
This is symbolic link pointing to supported type, <type-id>
directory of which this mediated device is created.

What: /sys/.../<device>/<UUID>/remove
Date: October 2016
Contact: Kirti Wankhede <[email protected]>
Description:
Writing '1' to this file destroys the mediated device. The
vendor driver can fail the remove() callback if that device
is active and the vendor driver doesn't support hot unplug.
Example:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/mdev/devices/<UUID>/remove
