(Applies to kvm.git:b5e725fa) This is v7 of the series. We have generalized the name of the series (as well as some of the hunks in the series) to reflect the fact that we have multiple eventfd based components.
This series has been tested and appears to be working as intended. You can download the unit-test used to verify this here: ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/ghaskins/kvm-eventfd.tar.bz This will also serve as an example on how to use the new interfaces. [ Changelog: v7: *) Added "iofd" to allow PIO/MMIO writes to generate an eventfd signal. This was previously discussed as "hypercallfd", but since explicit hypercalls are not looking to be very popular, and based on the fact that they were not going to carry payload anyway, I named them "iofd". *) Generalized some of the code so that irqfd and iofd could be logically grouped together. For instance s/KVM_CAP_IRQFD/KVM_CAP_EVENTFD and virt/kvm/irqfd.c becomes virt/kvm/eventfd.c *) Added support for "deassign" operations to ensure we can properly support hot-unplug. *) Reinstated the eventfd EXPORT_SYMBOL patch since we need it again for supporting iofd. *) Rebased to kvm.git:b5e725fa v6: *) Moved eventfd creation back to userspace, per Avi's request *) Dropped no longer necessary supporting patches from series *) Rebased to kvm.git:833367b57 v5: *) Added padding to the ioctl structure *) Added proper ref-count increment to the file before returning success. (Needs review by Al Viro, Davide Libenzi) *) Cleaned up error-handling path to make sure we remove ourself from the waitq if necessary. *) Make sure we only add ourselves to kvm->irqfds if successful creating the irqfd in the first place. *) Rebased to kvm.git:66b0aed4 v4: *) Changed allocation model to create the new fd last, after we get past the last potential error point by using Davide's new eventfd_file_create interface (Al Viro, Davide Libenzi) *) We no longer export sys_eventfd2() since it is replaced functionally with eventfd_file_create(); *) Rebased to kvm.git:7da2e3ba v3: *) The kernel now allocates the eventfd (need to export sys_eventfd2) *) Added a flags field for future expansion to kvm_irqfd() *) We properly toggle the irq level 1+0. *) We re-use the USERSPACE_SRC_ID instead of creating our own *) Properly check for failures establishing a poll-table with eventfd *) Fixed fd/file leaks on failure *) Rebased to lateste kvm.git::41b76d8d04 v2: *) Dropped notifier_chain based callbacks in favor of wait_queue_t::func and file::poll based callbacks (Thanks to Davide for the suggestion) v1: *) Initial release ] [ Todo: *) Implement the bus_io_unregister() function so the iofd hot-unplug path may be completed *) Test the hot-unplug path ] --- Gregory Haskins (3): kvm: add iofd support kvm: add support for irqfd via eventfd-notification interface eventfd: export eventfd interfaces for module use arch/x86/kvm/Makefile | 2 arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 1 fs/eventfd.c | 3 include/linux/kvm.h | 22 +++ include/linux/kvm_host.h | 7 + virt/kvm/eventfd.c | 294 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ virt/kvm/kvm_main.c | 33 +++++ 7 files changed, 361 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) create mode 100644 virt/kvm/eventfd.c -- Signature -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
