[PATCH] kvm: Remove KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP support assumption
Posted by Andrew Jones 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Since Linux commit 00f918f61c56 ("RISC-V: KVM: Skeletal in-kernel AIA
irqchip support") checking KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP returns non-zero when the
RISC-V platform has AIA. The cap indicates KVM supports at least one
of the following ioctls:

  KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
  KVM_IRQ_LINE
  KVM_GET_IRQCHIP
  KVM_SET_IRQCHIP
  KVM_GET_LAPIC
  KVM_SET_LAPIC

but the cap doesn't imply that KVM must support any of those ioctls
in particular. However, QEMU was assuming the KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
ioctl was supported. Stop making that assumption by introducing a
KVM parameter that each architecture which supports KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
sets. Adding parameters isn't awesome, but given how the
KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP isn't very helpful on its own, we don't have a lot of
options.

While this fixes booting guests on riscv KVM with AIA it's unlikely
to get merged before the QEMU support for KVM AIA[1] lands, which
would also fix the issue. I think this patch is still worth considering
though since QEMU's assumption is wrong.

I think I'd do this differntly... at the beginning of the function, there is 
a check for kvm_check_extension(s, KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP) etc. ... I think you 
could now replace that check with a simple

	if (!kvm_has_create_irqchip) {
		return;
	}

The "kvm_vm_enable_cap(s, KVM_CAP_S390_IRQCHIP, 0)" of course has to be 
moved to the target/s390x/kvm/kvm.c file, too.

Actually, once we've moved the s390 cap enablement to the s390 file we can
just drop the whole if-else chain. We don't want the
if (!kvm_has_create_irqchip) at the top because we want to try
kvm_arch_irqchip_create() even when kvm_has_create_irqchip is false, and
we don't need to check KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP for kvm_arch_irqchip_create()
either. Keeping the check, as it is above in this v1, of
kvm_has_create_irqchip for KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP is still necessary, though.

Sounds good. I'll do that for v2.
