[PATCH v5 15/19] vfio: Add cdev for vfio_device

Yi Liu
2023-02-27T11:12:17Z

This allows user to directly open a vfio device w/o using the legacy
container/group interface, as a prerequisite for supporting new iommu
features like nested translation.

The device fd opened in this manner doesn't have the capability to access
the device as the fops open() doesn't open the device until the successful
BIND_IOMMUFD which be added in next patch.

With this patch, devices registered to vfio core have both group and device
interface created.

- group interface : /dev/vfio/$groupID
- device interface: /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX (X is the minor number and
is unique across devices)

Given a vfio device the user can identify the matching vfioX by checking
the sysfs path of the device. Take PCI device (0000:6a:01.0) for example,
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:6a\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfio0/dev contains the
major:minor of the matching vfioX.

Userspace then opens the /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX and checks with fstat
that the major:minor matches.

The vfio_device cdev logic in this patch:
*) __vfio_register_dev() path ends up doing cdev_device_add() for each
vfio_device;
*) vfio_unregister_group_dev() path does cdev_device_del();
