[PATCH v4] vfio error recovery: kernel support

From: Cao jin
Date: Mon Feb 27 2017 - 21:31:11 EST


From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxx>

0. What happens now (PCIE AER only)
Fatal errors cause a link reset.
Non fatal errors don't.
All errors stop the VM eventually, but not immediately
because it's detected and reported asynchronously.
Interrupts are forwarded as usual.
Correctable errors are not reported to guest at all.
Note: PPC EEH is different. This focuses on AER.

1. Correctable errors
There is no need to report these to guest. So let's not.

2. Fatal errors
It's not easy to handle them gracefully since link reset
is needed. As a first step, let's use the existing mechanism
in that case.

2. Non-fatal errors
Here we could make progress by reporting them to guest
and have guest handle them.

Issues:
a. this behaviour should only be enabled with new userspace,
old userspace should work without changes.

Suggestion: One way to address this would be to add a new eventfd
non_fatal_err_trigger. If not set, invoke err_trigger.

b. drivers are supposed to stop MMIO when error is reported,
if vm keeps going, we will keep doing MMIO/config.

Suggestion 1: ignore this. vm stop happens much later when
userspace runs anyway, so we are not making things much worse.

Suggestion 2: try to stop MMIO/config, resume on resume call

Patch below implements Suggestion 1.

Note that although this is really against the documentation, which
states error_detected() is the point at which the driver should quiesce
the device and not touch it further (until diagnostic poking at
mmio_enabled or full access at resume callback).

Fixing this won't be easy. However, this is not a regression.

Also note this does nothing about interrupts, documentation
suggests returning IRQ_NONE until reset.
Again, not a regression.

c. PF driver might detect that function is completely broken,
if vm keeps going, we will keep doing MMIO/config.

Suggestion 1: ignore this. vm stop happens much later when
userspace runs anyway, so we are not making things much worse.

Suggestion 2: detect this and invoke err_trigger to stop VM.

Patch below implements Suggestion 2.
