[PATCH v3] vfio error recovery: kernel support

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Sun Jan 22 2017 - 02:39:39 EST


This is a design and an initial patch for kernel side for AER
support in VFIO.

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
I don't see a 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.

Aside: what should we return if driver is e.g. being unbound?
For slot_reset, this implements Alex's suggestion to
return PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE. It's worth considering whether
same should happen in error_report.

Completely untested by myself. Will be build-tested by 0-day :)

changes from v2:
- fix build error reported by 0 day testing
changes from v1:
- more detailed commit log
- fixed a couple of bugs

Alex, pls review but don't apply until we get
- userspace updated to use the new interface
- testing reports

Cao jin, could you pls look into integrating this
with your userspace patches?
