[PATCH v3] x86/hvm: Widen condition for is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain() and report fix in CPUID
Posted by Jane Malalane 1 year, 11 months ago
Have is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain() return true for vector callbacks for
evtchn delivery set up on a per-vCPU basis via
HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector.

is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain() returning true is a condition for setting up
physical IRQ to event channel mappings.

Therefore, a CPUID bit is added so that guests know whether the check
in is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain() will fail when using
HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector. This matters for guests that route
PIRQs over event channels since is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain() is a
condition in physdev_map_pirq().

The naming of the CPUID bit is quite generic about upcall support
being available. That's done so that the define name doesn't become
overly long like XEN_HVM_CPUID_UPCALL_VECTOR_SUPPORTS_PIRQ or some
such.

A guest that doesn't care about physical interrupts routed over event
channels can just test for the availability of the hypercall directly
(HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector) without checking the CPUID bit.

I continue to think that with the vCPU0 dependency added to
is_hvm_pv_evtchn_domain(), is_hvm_pv_evtchn_vcpu() should either
be adjusted as well (to check the correct vCPU's field) or be
deleted (and the sole caller be replaced).

I will replace it in a newer version of the patch.

Thank you.

I would be fine with replacing, the sole caller of
is_hvm_pv_evtchn_vcpu(v) is never reached if the upcall vector is in
use.

Thanks, Roger.

Subject could a little shorter I think:

I think you can drop the "... like
XEN_HVM_CPUID_UPCALL_VECTOR_SUPPORTS_PIRQ or some such."  That's maybe
too informal for a commit message log.

(I think the above can be fixed on commit if the committer agrees)

One thing that worries me is how to differentiate between callbacks
setup with HVM_PARAM_CALLBACK_TYPE_VECTOR vs using
HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector in writing.  We usually use 'callback
vector' to refer to the former and 'upcall vector' to refer to the
later.  Hope that's clearer enough.

Thanks, Roger.
