Subject: [PATCH v4 02/16] vfio/pci: Preserve vfio-pci device files across Live Update
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 16:47:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511234802.2280368-3-vipinsh@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511234802.2280368-1-vipinsh@google.com>

Implement the live update file handler callbacks to preserve a vfio-pci
device across a Live Update. Subsequent commits will enable userspace to
then retrieve this file after the Live Update.

Live Update support is scoped only to cdev files (i.e. not
VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD files).

State about each device is serialized into a new ABI struct
vfio_pci_core_device_ser. The contents of this struct are preserved
across the Live Update to the next kernel using a combination of
Kexec-Handover (KHO) to preserve the page(s) holding the struct and the
Live Update Orchestrator (LUO) to preserve the physical address of the
struct.

For now the only contents of struct vfio_pci_core_device_ser the
device's PCI segment number and BDF, so that the device can be uniquely
identified after the Live Update.

Require that userspace disables interrupts on the device prior to
freeze() so that the device does not send any interrupts until new
interrupt handlers have been set up by the next kernel.

Reset the device and restore its state in the freeze() callback. This
ensures the device can be received by the next kernel in a consistent
state. Eventually this will be dropped and the device can be preserved
across in a running state, but that requires further work in VFIO and
the core PCI layer.

Note that LUO holds a reference to this file when it is preserved. So
VFIO is guaranteed that vfio_df_device_last_close() will not be called
on this device until userspace has unpreserved the file using LUO.

+/**
+ * DOC: VFIO PCI Preservation via LUO
+ *
+ * VFIO PCI devices can be preserved over a kexec using the Live Update
+ * Orchestrator (LUO) file preservation. This allows userspace (such as a VMM)
+ * to transfer an in-use device to the next kernel.
+ *
+ * .. note::
+ *    The support for preserving VFIO PCI devices is currently *partial* and
+ *    should be considered *experimental*. It should only be used by developers
+ *    working on expanding the support for the time being.
+ *
+ *    To avoid accidental usage while the support is still experimental, this
+ *    support is hidden behind a default-disable config option
+ *    ``CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_LIVEUPDATE``. Once the kernel support has stabilized and
+ *    become complete, this option will be enabled by default when
+ *    ``CONFIG_VFIO_PCI`` and ``CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE`` are enabled.
+ *
+ * Usage Example
+ * =============
+ *
+ * VFIO PCI devices can be preserved across a kexec by preserving the file
+ * associated with the device in a LUO session::
+ *
+ *   device_fd = open("/dev/vfio/devices/vfioX");
+ *   ...
+ *   ioctl(session_fd, LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_PRESERVE_FD, { ..., device_fd, ...});
+ *
+ * .. note::
+ *    LUO will hold an extra reference to the device file for as long as it is
+ *    preserved, so there is no way for the file to be destroyed or the device
+ *    to be unbound from the vfio-pci driver while it is preserved.
+ *
+ * Retrieving the file after kexec is not yet supported.
+ *
+ * Restrictions
+ * ============
+ *
+ * The kernel imposes the following restrictions when preserving VFIO devices:
+ *
+ *  * The device must be bound to the ``vfio-pci`` driver.
+ *
+ *  * ``CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_ZDEV_KVM`` must not be enabled. This may be relaxed in
+ *    the future.
+ *
+ *  * The device must not be an Intel display device. This may be relaxed in
+ *    the future.
+ *
+ *  * No support for VFIO PCI DMA buffer. This is to keep code simpler, it will
+ *    be removed in future.
+ *
+ *  * The device file descriptor must be obtained by opening the VFIO character
+ *    device (``/dev/vfio/devices/vfioX``) and not via
+ *    ``VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD``.
+ *
+ *  * The device must have interrupt disable prior to kexec. Failure to disable
+ *    interrupts on the device will cause the ``reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_KEXEC)``
+ *    syscall (to initiate the kexec) to fail.
+ *
+ * Preservation Behavior
+ * =====================
+ *
+ * The eventual goal of this support is to avoid disrupting the workload, state,
+ * or configuration of each preserved device during a Live Update. This would
+ * include allowing the device to perform DMA to preserved memory buffers and
+ * perform P2P DMA to other preserved devices. However, there are many pieces
+ * that still need to land in the kernel.
+ *
+ * For now, VFIO only preserves the following state for for devices:
+ *
+ *  * The PCI Segment, Bus, Device, and Function numbers of the device. The
+ *    kernel guarantees the these will not change across a kexec when a device
+ *    is preserved.
+ *
+ * Since the kernel is not yet prepared to preserve all parts of the device and
+ * its dependencies (such as DMA mappings), VFIO currently resets and restores
+ * preserved devices back into an idle state during kexec, before handing off
+ * control to the next kernel. This will be relaxed in future versions of the
+ * kernel once it is safe to allow the device to keep running across kexec.
