[RFC PATCH v5 0/5] Report vfio-ap configuration changes

[RFC PATCH v5 0/5] Report vfio-ap configuration changes

[Rorie Reyes]

Changelog:
v5:
- configuring using the '-without-default-devices' fails when building the code
- created a stub file for functions ap_chsc_sei_nt0_get_event and ap_chsc_sei_nt0_have_event
- add if_false for 'CONFIG_VFIO_AP' use ap-stub.c in meson.build
- add the use of the stub file to MAINTAINERS since it's a new file

v4:
- allocating cfg_chg_event before inserting into the queue
- calling nt0_have_event in if loop to check if there are any
elemenets in the queue, then calling QTAILQ_FIRST when the check
passes
- moving memset() after the check

v3:
- changes that were made to patch 3/5 should have been made in
patch 2/5

v2:
- removed warnings that weren't needed
- added unregister function
- removed whitelines
- changed variable names for consistency
- removed rc variable and returning 1 or 0 outright
- reversed logics for if statements
- using g_free() instead of free()
- replaced hardcoded numeric values by defining them with #define
in the header

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch series creates and registers a handler that is called when
userspace is notified by the kernel that a guest's AP configuration has
changed. The handler in turn notifies the guest that its AP configuration
has changed. This allows the guest to immediately respond to AP
configuration changes rather than relying on polling or some other
inefficient mechanism for detecting config changes.

[RFC PATCH v5 1/5] linux-headers: NOTFORMERGE - placeholder uapi updates for AP config change

[Rorie Reyes]

This patch adds enumeration constant VFIO_AP_CFG_CHG_IRQ_INDEX to specify
an IRQ index for signaling that a change has been made to the guest's AP
configuration. This is a placeholder for QEMU patches that use this value
since it is a linux-headers update which includes changes that aren't
merged into the kernel. Linux-headers patches should be generated using
scripts/update-linux-headers.sh.

[RFC PATCH v5 3/5] hw/vfio/ap: store object indicating AP config changed in a queue

[Rorie Reyes]

Creates an object indicating that an AP configuration change event
has been received and stores it in a queue. These objects will later
be used to store event information for an AP configuration change
when the CHSC instruction is intercepted.

[Rorie Reyes]

Handle interception of the CHSC SEI instruction for requests
indicating the guest's AP configuration has changed.

If configuring -without-defaul-devices, hw/vfio/ap-sub.c
was created to handle such circumstance. Also added if
CONFIG_VFIO_AP is false, it will use the stub file.

This definition was introduced in Linux v6.15-rc1 with commit 07d89045bffe
("s390/vfio-ap: Signal eventfd when guest AP configuration is changed").
Since we just entered a new QEMU cycle (10.1), could you please send
a linux-headers/ update ?

You should use ./scripts/update-linux-headers.sh. See commit 421ee1ec6f0d
("linux-headers: Update to Linux v6.14-rc3") for an example.

Thanks,

C.
