[PATCH v8 00/13] Add VT-d Posted-Interrupts support

From: Feng Wu
Date: Wed Sep 16 2015 - 05:04:09 EST


VT-d Posted-Interrupts is an enhancement to CPU side Posted-Interrupt.
With VT-d Posted-Interrupts enabled, external interrupts from
direct-assigned devices can be delivered to guests without VMM
intervention when guest is running in non-root mode.

You can find the VT-d Posted-Interrtups Spec. in the following URL:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-technology/vt-directed-io-spec.html

v8:
refer to the changelog in each patch

v7:
* Define two weak irq bypass callbacks:
- kvm_arch_irq_bypass_start()
- kvm_arch_irq_bypass_stop()
* Remove the x86 dummy implementation of the above two functions.
* Print some useful information instead of WARN_ON() when the
irq bypass consumer unregistration fails.
* Fix an issue when calling pi_pre_block and pi_post_block.

v6:
* Rebase on 4.2.0-rc6
* Rebase on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/6/526 and http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2235623
* Make the add_consumer and del_consumer callbacks static
* Remove pointless INIT_LIST_HEAD to 'vdev->ctx[vector].producer.node)'
* Use dev_info instead of WARN_ON() when irq_bypass_register_producer fails
* Remove optional dummy callbacks for irq producer

v4:
* For lowest-priority interrupt, only support single-CPU destination
interrupts at the current stage, more common lowest priority support
will be added later.
* Accoring to Marcelo's suggestion, when vCPU is blocked, we handle
the posted-interrupts in the HLT emulation path.
* Some small changes (coding style, typo, add some code comments)

v3:
* Adjust the Posted-interrupts Descriptor updating logic when vCPU is
preempted or blocked.
* KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POSTING_IRQ --> KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_POST_IRQ
* __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_KVM_VFIO_POSTING --> __KVM_HAVE_ARCH_KVM_VFIO_POST
* Add KVM_DEV_VFIO_DEVICE_UNPOST_IRQ attribute for VFIO irq, which
can be used to change back to remapping mode.
* Fix typo

v2:
* Use VFIO framework to enable this feature, the VFIO part of this series is
base on Eric's patch "[PATCH v3 0/8] KVM-VFIO IRQ forward control"
* Rebase this patchset on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git,
then revise some irq logic based on the new hierarchy irqdomain patches provided
by Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
