[RFC PATCH 7/8] vfio/pci: Support dynamic MSI-x

From: Reinette Chatre
Date: Wed Mar 15 2023 - 17:00:24 EST


Recently introduced pci_msix_alloc_irq_at() and pci_msix_free_irq()
enables an individual MSI-X index to be allocated and freed after
MSI-X enabling.

Support dynamic MSI-X by keeping the association between allocated
interrupt and vfio interrupt context. Allocate new context together
with the new interrupt if no interrupt context exist for an MSI-X
interrupt. Similarly, release an interrupt with its context.

Guidance is appreciated on expectations regarding maintaining
existing error behavior. Earlier patch introduced the
vfio_irq_ctx_range_allocated() helper to maintain existing error
behavior. Now, this helper needs to be disabled for MSI-X. User
space not wanting to dynamically allocate MSI-X interrupts, but
providing invalid range when providing a new ACTION will now
obtain new interrupts or new failures (potentially including freeing
of existing interrupts) if the allocation of the new interrupts fail.
