[PATCH v4 2/2] vfio/pci: add msi interrupt affinity support

From: Fred Griffoul
Date: Fri Jun 07 2024 - 15:11:07 EST


The usual way to configure a device interrupt from userland is to write
the /proc/irq/<irq>/smp_affinity or smp_affinity_list files. When using
vfio to implement a device driver or a virtual machine monitor, this may
not be ideal: the process managing the vfio device interrupts may not be
granted root privilege, for security reasons. Thus it cannot directly
control the interrupt affinity and has to rely on an external command.

This patch extends the VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS ioctl() with a new data flag
to specify the affinity of interrupts of a vfio pci device.

The CPU affinity mask argument must be a subset of the process cpuset,
otherwise an error -EPERM is returned.

The vfio_irq_set argument shall be set-up in the following way:

- the 'flags' field have the new flag VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_AFFINITY set
as well as VFIO_IRQ_SET_ACTION_TRIGGER.

- the variable-length 'data' field is a cpu_set_t structure, as
for the sched_setaffinity() syscall, the size of which is derived
from 'argsz'.
