Hi,

This patch series introduces support for error recovery for passthrough PCI
devices on System Z (s390x). This is the user space component for the Linux
kernel patches [1]. The kernel patches were merged for 7.3 release.

The current design for QEMU updates the callback for vfio error notifier to
an s390x specific error handler if the kernel supports the new device
feature VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_ZPCI_ERROR, for s390 vfio-pci devices. So now
on an eventfd notification for error notifier it will invoke the s390x
specific error handler.  The s390x error handler will retrieve the
architecture specific PCI error information and inject the information into
the guest. Once the guest receives the error information, the guest drivers
will drive the error recovery.  Typically recovery involves a device reset
which translate to CLP disable/enable cycle for the device.

I would appreciate some feedback on this patch series.

Thanks Farhan

    merged.

v4 https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
v4 -> v5
    - Remove err_handler() callback in vfio pci core.
    - Update the vfio error notifier callback to an s390x specific callback
    for s390x devices
    - Include linux headers for 7.3-rc3.
v3 https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
v3 -> v4
    - Include linux headers for 7.3-rc1.
    - Rework VFIO API changes based on the kernel API (patch 3).
    - Address Markus's comments from v3 (patch 2).

v2 https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
v2 -> v3
    - Update arch_err_handler to err_handler and include Error ** in
    function definition. (patch 2)

    - Introduce helper function to hide the internal indirection of 
device_feature()
    (patch 3)

    - Update function definitions to include Error ** (patch 4)
    


v1 https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
v1 -> v2
   - Use VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE ioctl to get device error information.
   (Based on Alex's feedback on kernel series)
