[PATCH v2] vfio/pci: Propagate ACPI notifications to user-space via eventfd

From: Grzegorz Jaszczyk
Date: Mon Apr 24 2023 - 12:28:14 EST


To allow pass-through devices receiving ACPI notifications, permit to
register ACPI notify handler (via introduced new ioctl) for a given
device. The handler role is to receive and propagate such ACPI
notifications to the user-space through the user provided eventfd. This
allows VMM to receive and propagate them further to the VM, where the
actual driver for pass-through device resides and can react to device
specific notifications accordingly.

The eventfd usage ensures VMM and device isolation: it allows to use a
dedicated channel associated with the device for such events, such that
the VMM has direct access.

Since the eventfd counter is used as ACPI notification value
placeholder, the eventfd signaling needs to be serialized in order to
not end up with notification values being coalesced. Therefore ACPI
notification values are buffered and signalized one by one, when the
previous notification value has been consumed.

Changelog v1..v2:
- The v2 implementation is actually completely different then v1:
instead of using acpi netlink events for propagating ACPI
notifications to the user space take advantage of eventfd, which can
provide better VMM and device isolation: it allows to use a dedicated
channel associated with the device for such events, such that the VMM
has direct access.
- Using eventfd counter as notification value placeholder was suggested
in v1 and requires additional serialization logic introduced in v2.
- Since the vfio-pci supports non-ACPI platforms address !CONFIG_ACPI
case.
- v1 discussion: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/kvm/patch/20230307220553.631069-1-jaz@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
