[PATCH v4] vfio/pci: Propagate ACPI notifications to user-space via eventfd

From: Grzegorz Jaszczyk
Date: Mon May 22 2023 - 12:58:35 EST


To allow pass-through devices receiving ACPI notifications, permit to
register ACPI notify handler (via VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS) 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 v3..v4
Address Alex Williamson feedback:
- Instead of introducing new ioctl used for eventfd registration, take
advantage of VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS which already supports virtual IRQs
for things like error notification and device release requests.
- Introduced mechanism preventing creation of large queues.
Other:
- Move the implementation into the newly introduced VFIO_ACPI_NOTIFY
helper module. It is actually not bound to VFIO_PCI but VFIO_PCI
enables it whenever ACPI support is enabled. This change is introduced
since ACPI notifications are not limited to PCI devices, making it PCI
independent will allow to re-use it also for other VFIO_* like
supports: e.g. VFIO_PLATFORM in the future if needed. Moving it out of
drivers/vfio/pci/ was also suggested offline.
- s/notify_val_next/node
- v3: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/kvm/patch/20230502132700.654528-1-jaszczyk@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changelog v2..v3:
- Fix compilation warnings when building with "W=1"

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/
