[PATCH 09/17] virt: acrn: Introduce I/O request management

[shuo . a . liu]

From: Shuo Liu <shuo.a.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

An I/O request of a User VM, which is constructed by the hypervisor, is
distributed by the ACRN Hypervisor Service Module to an I/O client
corresponding to the address range of the I/O request.

For each User VM, there is a shared 4-KByte memory region used for I/O
requests communication between the hypervisor and Service VM. An I/O
request is a 256-byte structure buffer, which is 'struct
acrn_io_request', that is filled by an I/O handler of the hypervisor
when a trapped I/O access happens in a User VM. ACRN userspace in the
Service VM first allocates a 4-KByte page and passes the GPA (Guest
Physical Address) of the buffer to the hypervisor. The buffer is used as
an array of 16 I/O request slots with each I/O request slot being 256
bytes. This array is indexed by vCPU ID.

An I/O client, which is 'struct acrn_ioreq_client', is responsible for
handling User VM I/O requests whose accessed GPA falls in a certain
range. Multiple I/O clients can be associated with each User VM. There
is a special client associated with each User VM, called the default
client, that handles all I/O requests that do not fit into the range of
any other I/O clients. The ACRN userspace acts as the default client for
each User VM.

The state transitions of a ACRN I/O request are as follows.

   FREE -> PENDING -> PROCESSING -> COMPLETE -> FREE -> ...

FREE: this I/O request slot is empty
PENDING: a valid I/O request is pending in this slot
PROCESSING: the I/O request is being processed
COMPLETE: the I/O request has been processed

An I/O request in COMPLETE or FREE state is owned by the hypervisor. HSM
and ACRN userspace are in charge of processing the others.

The processing flow of I/O requests are listed as following:

a) The I/O handler of the hypervisor will fill an I/O request with
   PENDING state when a trapped I/O access happens in a User VM.
b) The hypervisor makes an upcall, which is a notification interrupt, to
   the Service VM.
c) The upcall handler schedules a tasklet to dispatch I/O requests.
d) The tasklet looks for the PENDING I/O requests, assigns them to
   different registered clients based on the address of the I/O accesses,
   updates their state to PROCESSING, and notifies the corresponding
   client to handle.
e) The notified client handles the assigned I/O requests.
f) The HSM updates I/O requests states to COMPLETE and notifies the
   hypervisor of the completion via hypercalls.

+ * @type:		Type of this request (ACRN_IOREQ_TYPE_*).

+ *			I/O request if this flag set.
+ * @reserved0:		Reserved fields.
+ * @reqs:		Union of different types of request. Byte offset: 64.
+ * @reqs.pio_request:	PIO request data of the I/O request.
+ * @reqs.mmio_request:	MMIO request data of the I/O request.
+ * @reqs.data:		Raw data of the I/O request.
+ * @reserved1:		Reserved fields.
+ * @kernel_handled:	Flag indicates this request need be handled in kernel.
+ * @processed:		The status of this request (ACRN_IOREQ_STATE_*).
+ *
+ * The state transitions of ACRN I/O request:
+ *
+ *    FREE -> PENDING -> PROCESSING -> COMPLETE -> FREE -> ...
+ *
+ * An I/O request in COMPLETE or FREE state is owned by the hypervisor. HSM and
+ * ACRN userspace are in charge of processing the others.
+ *
+ * On basis of the states illustrated above, a typical lifecycle of ACRN IO
+ * request would look like:
+ *
+ * Flow                 (assume the initial state is FREE)
+ * |
+ * |   Service VM vCPU 0     Service VM vCPU x      User vCPU y

+ * |                                               fills in type, addr, etc.
+ * |                                               pauses the User VM vCPU y
+ * |                                               sets the state to PENDING (a)
+ * |                                               fires an upcall to Service VM
+ * |
+ * | HSM:
+ * |  scans for PENDING requests
+ * |  sets the states to PROCESSING (b)
+ * |  assigns the requests to clients (c)
+ * V
+ * |                     client:
+ * |                       scans for the assigned requests
+ * |                       handles the requests (d)
+ * |                     HSM:
+ * |                       sets states to COMPLETE
+ * |                       notifies the hypervisor
+ * |
+ * |                     hypervisor:
+ * |                       resumes User VM vCPU y (e)
+ * |
+ * |                                             hypervisor:

+ *
+ * Note that the procedures (a) to (f) in the illustration above require to be
+ * strictly processed in the order.  One vCPU cannot trigger another request of
+ * I/O emulation before completing the previous one.
+ *
+ * Atomic and barriers are required when HSM and hypervisor accessing the state
