Subject: Re: [PATCH v10 4/5] s390/pci: Fence FMB enable/disable via debugfs for passthrough devices
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 22:33:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-179533@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020212427.2561-5-oelghoul@linux.ibm.com>
> Introduce a fence over enabling or disabling FMB via debugfs when the zPCI
> device is associated with a KVM. This will prevent processes on the host
> from tampering with the FMB while the guest is still using it, which may
> cause partial counter resets and inconsistent reads which have no parallel
> in the architecture.
>
> For VFIO devices that are not associated with a KVM (i.e., for userspace
> drivers other than QEMU), this fence does not take effect.
>
