In PVH dom0, it uses the linux local interrupt mechanism,
when it allocs irq for a gsi, it is dynamic, and follow
the principle of applying first, distributing first. And
if you debug the kernel codes, you will find the irq
number is alloced from small to large, but the applying
gsi number is not, may gsi 38 comes before gsi 28, that
causes the irq number is not equal with the gsi number.
And when we passthrough a device, QEMU will use its gsi
number to do mapping actions, see xen_pt_realize->
xc_physdev_map_pirq, but the gsi number is got from file
/sys/bus/pci/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/irq in current code,
so it will fail when mapping.
And in current codes, there is no method to translate
irq to gsi for userspace.
For above purpose, this patch adds new function to get
that translation. And then we can use the correct gsi
number to do map_pirq.
And call this function before xc_physdev_map_pirq

I think it would be cleaner to just introduce a new sysfs node that contains the gsi if a device is using one (much like the irq sysfs node)? Such ioctl to translate from IRQ to GSI has nothing to do with Xen, so placing it in privcmd does seem quite strange to me. I understand that for passthrough we need the GSI, but such translation layer from IRQ to GSI is all Linux internal, and it would be much simpler to just expose the GSI in sysfs IMO. Thanks, Roger.

Yes, I also ever thought this way. Add a sysfs node in /sys/bus/pci/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/gsi. But I am not sure sysfs or privcmd, which is better. If use sysfs node, should I need to use the macro of Xen to wrap the codes? And is it suitable to create it in function acpi_register_gsi_ioapic? > > Such ioctl to translate from IRQ to GSI has nothing to do with Xen, so > placing it in privcmd does seem quite strange to me.

Maybe something to add to drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c in Linux. Juergen what do you think?

Let me also add that privcmd.c is already a Linux specific interface. Although it was born to be a Xen hypercall "proxy" in reality today we have a few privcmd ioctls that don't translate into hypercalls. So I don't think that adding IOCTL_PRIVCMD_GSI_FROM_IRQ would be a problem.

Maybe not all ioctls translate to hypercalls (I guess you are referring to the IOCTL_PRIVCMD_RESTRICT ioctl), but they are specific Xen actions. Getting the GSI used by a device has nothing do to with Xen. IMO drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c is also not appropriate, but I'm not the maintainer of any of those components. There's nothing Xen specific about fetching the GSI associated with a PCI device. The fact that Xen needs it for passthrough is just a red herring, further cases where the GSI is needed might arise outside of Xen, and hence such node would better be placed in a generic location. The right location should be /sys/bus/pci/devices/<sbdf>/gsi. Thanks, Roger.

The right location should be /sys/bus/pci/devices/<sbdf>/gsi. That might be true but /sys/bus/pci/devices/<sbdf>/gsi is a non-Xen generic interface and the maintainers of that portion of Linux code might have a different opinion. We'll have to see.

We'll have to see. Right, but before resorting to implement a Xen specific workaround let's attempt to do it the proper way :). I cannot see why exposing the gsi on sysfs like that would be an issue. There's a lot of resource information exposed on sysfs already, and it's a trivial node to implement. Thanks, Roger.

At present, it seems the result of discussion is that it needs to add a gsi sysfs.

Thanks, please keep xen-devel on Cc if possible. Maybe if the suggested path is not suitable maintainers can recommend another path where the gsi (or equivalent) node could live. Thanks, Roger.
