Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] evtchn: make EVTCHNOP_reset suitable for kexec
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 15:26:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406726810-2557-2-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1406726810-2557-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com>

It would be nice to allow guests to close all event channels in
ABI-agnostic way in case of kexec/kdump. EVTCHNOP_reset looks suitable
for this purpose. However control blocks for vcpus and event array need
cleanup when FIFO ABI is being used.

With this change a guest can simply do EVTCHNOP_reset before kexec in
both 2-level and FIFO cases. It is also important to perform store/console
channel remapping after such call.

The issue can also be solved by introducing a new EVTCHNOP operation but
it seems that EVTCHNOP_reset can be reused.

[The idea was suggested by Ian Campbell, Andrew Cooper, and David Vrabel]

Changes from v1:
- Change EVTCHNOP_reset behavior when it is being called by the guest
  with DOMID_SELF only [Andrew Cooper, Jan Beulich].
- Do not skip interdomain store/console channels, let the guest rebind
  them [David Vrabel].
- Do evtchn_2l_init() after evtchn_fifo_destroy() so the guest can
  perform e.g. EVTCHNOP_bind_interdomain operations after EVTCHNOP_reset.
