[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH qemu 3/5] vfio-pci: Reorder group-to-container attaching

[Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>]

At the moment VFIO PCI device initialization works as follows:
vfio_realize
	vfio_get_group
		vfio_connect_container
			register memory listeners (1)
			update QEMU groups lists
		vfio_kvm_device_add_group

Then (example for pseries) the machine reset hook triggers region_add()
for all regions where listeners from (1) are listening:

ppc_spapr_reset
	spapr_phb_reset
		spapr_tce_table_enable
			memory_region_add_subregion
				vfio_listener_region_add
					vfio_spapr_create_window

This scheme works fine until we need to handle VFIO PCI device hotplug
_and_ we want to enable in-kernel acceleration on, i.e. after PCI hotplug
we need a place to call
ioctl(vfio_kvm_device_fd, KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE).
Since the ioctl needs a LIOBN fd (from sPAPRTCETable) and a IOMMU group fd
(from VFIOGroup), vfio_listener_region_add() seems to be the only place
for this ioctl().

However this only works during boot time because the machine reset
happens strictly after all devices are finalized. When hotplug happens,
vfio_listener_region_add() is called when a memory listener is registered
but when this happens:
1. new group is not added to the container->group_list yet;
2. VFIO KVM device is unaware of the new IOMMU group.

This moves bits around to have all necessary VFIO infrastructure
in place for both initial startup and hotplug cases.
