[PATCH V4 0/4] Fast MMIO eventfd fixes

From: Jason Wang
Date: Thu Sep 10 2015 - 23:17:50 EST


Hi:

This series fixes two issues of fast mmio eventfd:

1) A single iodev instance were registerd on two buses: KVM_MMIO_BUS
and KVM_FAST_MMIO_BUS. This will cause double in
ioeventfd_destructor()
2) A zero length iodev on KVM_MMIO_BUS will never be found but
kvm_io_bus_cmp(). This will lead e.g the eventfd will be trapped by
qemu instead of host.

1 is fixed by allocating two instances of iodev. 2 is fixed by ignore
the actual length if the length of iodev is zero in kvm_io_bus_cmp().

Please review.

Changes from V3:

- Don't do search on two buses when trying to do write on
KVM_MMIO_BUS. This fixes a small regression found by vmexit.flat.
- Since we don't do search on two buses, change kvm_io_bus_cmp() to
let it can find zero length iodevs.
- Fix the unnecessary lines in tracepoint patch.

Changes from V2:
- Tweak styles and comment suggested by Cornelia.

Changes from v1:
- change ioeventfd_bus_from_flags() to return KVM_FAST_MMIO_BUS when
needed to save lots of unnecessary changes.

Jason Wang (4):
kvm: factor out core eventfd assign/deassign logic
kvm: fix double free for fast mmio eventfd
kvm: fix zero length mmio searching
kvm: add tracepoint for fast mmio
