[KVM PATCH v8 0/3] iosignalfd

From: Gregory Haskins
Date: Thu Jun 18 2009 - 20:30:54 EST


(Applies to kvm.git/master:c27b64a0)

This is v8 of the series. For more details, please see the header to
patch 3/3.

This series has been tested against the kvm-eventfd unit test, and
appears to be functioning properly. You can download this test here:

ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/kvm-eventfd.tar.bz2

Please consider for inclusion to kvm.git

An updated userspace for qemu-kvm.git is forthcoming.

Changelog:

v8:
*) Addressed Avi's review comments:
*) Simplified the unregister_dev logic in patch 1/3
*) Implemented a per-vm io-device limit (patch 2/3)
*) Removed spurious whitespace hunk
*) changed the data-match from a void* to a u64
*) check group-length violations before wildcarding

v7:
*) Implemented a resource limit (CONFIG_KVM_MAX_IOSIGNALFD_ITEMS)
to limit malicious/broken userspace from consuming arbitrary
kernel memory.
*) Rebased to kvm.git/master:c27b64a0, which already includes
Marcelo's irq-lock rework.

v6:
*) Removed "FIXME?" comment on choice over RCU vs SRCU after
discussion/numbers from Paul. I think RCU is fine to use for
now based on the conversation. We can always convert it later
if need be.
*) Fixed the "group" free path to eliminate an RCU related race
*) Fixed a memory/eventfd leak on shutdown for any iosignalfd's
which were still active at the time the guest shuts down.
*) Beefed up comments
*) Rebased to kvm.git/master:0281e88f + irq locking rework and
verified that kvm-eventfd unit test still passes.

v5:
*) Removed "cookie" field, which was a misunderstanding on my
part on what Avi wanted for a data-match feature
*) Added a new "trigger" data-match feature which I think is
much closer to what we need.
*) We retain the dev_count field in the io_bus infrastructure
and instead back-fill the array on removal.
*) Various minor cleanups
*) Rebased to kvm.git/master:25deed73

v4:
*) Fixed a bug in the original 2/4 where the PIT failure case
would potentially leave the io_bus components registered.
*) Condensed the v3 2/4 and 3/4 into one patch (2/2) since
the patches became interdependent with the fix described above
*) Rebased to kvm.git/master:74dfca0a

v3:
*) fixed patch 2/4 to handle error cases instead of BUG_ON
*) implemented same HAVE_EVENTFD protection mechanism as
irqfd to prevent compilation errors on unsupported arches
*) completed testing
*) rebased to kvm.git/master:7391a6d5

v2:
*) added optional data-matching capability (via cookie field)
*) changed name from iofd to iosignalfd
*) added io_bus unregister function
*) implemented deassign feature

v1:
*) original release (integrated into irqfd v7 series as "iofd")
