This functionality is critical for minimizing downtime in environments where PCI devices (e.g., those assigned to VMs via VFIO) must continue operating or maintain state across a host kernel upgrade. Specifically, this series allows preserved PCI devices to perform uninterrupted memory transactions (DMA) targeting system memory (specifically, preserved memfds) across a Live Update. These devices can be behind a bridge but must not be VFs. Support for P2P and VF preservation will be addressed in future series. Series Overview --------------- This series implements the following to support PCI device preservation across Live Update: 1. Set up a File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) handler to track and preserve PCI-specific state (struct pci_ser) across Live Update using Kexec Handover (KHO). 2. Add APIs for drivers to register devices for preservation (outgoing) and for the PCI core to identify preserved devices during enumeration (incoming) 3. Automatically preserve all upstream bridges for any preserved endpoint. Use reference counting to ensure bridges remain preserved as long as any downstream device is preserved. 4. Guarantee that preserved devices retain the same RequesterID (bus, device, function) for the duration of their preservation by inheriting secondary bus numbers, subordinate bus numbers, and ARI Forwarding Enable on preserved bridges. 5. Guarantee that memory transactions to/from preserved devices are routed consistently by inheriting Access Control Services (ACS) flags across a Live Update, from the endpoint up to the root port. 6. Modify the PCI shutdown path to avoid disabling bus mastering on preserved devices, thereby allowing preserved devices to perform uninterrupted during kexec for Live Update. 7. Provide comprehensive documentation for the FLB API, device tracking mechanisms, and the division of responsibilities between the PCI core, drivers, and userspace. Merge Plan ---------- This series will be merged through liveupdate.git, matching the agreed-upon tree in the MAINTAINERS entry for PCI LIVE UPDATE. Testing ------- This series was tested in conjunction with v5 of the VFIO PCI driver series: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260714151505.3466855-1-vipinsh@google.com/ The full set of patches used for testing can be found on GitHub. https://github.com/dmatlack/linux/tree/liveupdate/pci/base/v10-with-vfio Testing was performed using the new VFIO selftests: - vfio_pci_liveupdate_uapi_test - vfio_pci_liveupdate_kexec_test Both tests were run in a QEMU-based VM environment (using a single virtio-net PCIe device connected to a root port to exercise bridge support) and on bare metal using an Intel EMR server with 8x Intel DSA PCIe devices and 1x NVMe device.
