Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] kvm: KVM_EOIFD, an eventfd for EOIs
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:33:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120716203353.1752.19127.stgit@bling.home> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120716202711.1752.71007.stgit@bling.home>
This new ioctl enables an eventfd to be triggered when an EOI is
written for a specified irqchip pin. The first user of this will
be external device assignment through VFIO, using a level irqfd
for asserting a PCI INTx interrupt and this interface for de-assert
and notification once the interrupt is serviced.
Here we make use of the reference counting of the _irq_source
object allowing us to share it with an irqfd and cleanup regardless
of the release order.

+Architectures: x86
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_eoifd (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+KVM_EOIFD allows userspace to receive interrupt EOI notification
+through an eventfd. kvm_eoifd.fd specifies the eventfd used for
+notification. KVM_EOIFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN is used to de-assign an eoifd
+once assigned. KVM_EOIFD also requires additional bits set in
+kvm_eoifd.flags to bind to the proper interrupt line. The
+KVM_EOIFD_FLAG_LEVEL_IRQFD indicates that kvm_eoifd.irqfd is provided
+and is an irqfd for a level triggered interrupt (configured from
+KVM_IRQFD using KVM_IRQFD_FLAG_LEVEL). The EOI notification is bound
+to the same GSI and irqchip input as the irqfd. Both kvm_eoifd.irqfd
+and KVM_EOIFD_FLAG_LEVEL_IRQFD must be specified both on assignment
+and de-assignment of KVM_EOIFD. A level irqfd may only be bound to
+a single eoifd. KVM_CAP_EOIFD_LEVEL_IRQFD indicates support of
+KVM_EOIFD_FLAG_LEVEL_IRQFD.
