FLIC (floating interrupt controller)
====================================
FLIC handles floating (non per-cpu) interrupts, i.e. I/O, service and some
machine check interruptions. All interrupts are stored in a per-vm list of
pending interrupts. FLIC performs operations on this list.
Only one FLIC instance may be instantiated.
FLIC provides support to
- add interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE)
- inspect currently pending interrupts (KVM_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS)
- purge all pending floating interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS)
- enable/disable for the guest transparent async page faults
- register and modify adapter interrupt sources (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_*)
Groups:
KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE
Passes a buffer and length into the kernel which are then injected into
the list of pending interrupts.
attr->addr contains the pointer to the buffer and attr->attr contains
the length of the buffer.
The format of the data structure kvm_s390_irq as it is copied from userspace
is defined in usr/include/linux/kvm.h.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS
Copies all floating interrupts into a buffer provided by userspace.
When the buffer is too small it returns -ENOMEM, which is the indication
for userspace to try again with a bigger buffer.
All interrupts remain pending, i.e. are not deleted from the list of
currently pending interrupts.
attr->addr contains the userspace address of the buffer into which all
interrupt data will be copied.
attr->attr contains the size of the buffer in bytes.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS
Simply deletes all elements from the list of currently pending floating
interrupts. No interrupts are injected into the guest.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_ENABLE
Enables async page faults for the guest. So in case of a major page fault
the host is allowed to handle this async and continues the guest.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_DISABLE_WAIT
Disables async page faults for the guest and waits until already pending
async page faults are done. This is necessary to trigger a completion interrupt
for every init interrupt before migrating the interrupt list.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_REGISTER
Register an I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes a kvm_s390_io_adapter
describing the adapter to register:
struct kvm_s390_io_adapter {
__u32 id;
__u8 isc;
__u8 maskable;
__u8 swap;
__u8 pad;
};
id contains the unique id for the adapter, isc the I/O interruption subclass
to use, maskable whether this adapter may be masked (interrupts turned off)
and swap whether the indicators need to be byte swapped.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_MODIFY
Modifies attributes of an existing I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes
a kvm_s390_io_adapter_req specifiying the adapter and the operation:
struct kvm_s390_io_adapter_req {
__u32 id;
__u8 type;
__u8 mask;
__u16 pad0;
__u64 addr;
};
id specifies the adapter and type the operation. The supported operations
are:
KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_MASK
mask or unmask the adapter, as specified in mask
KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_MAP
perform a gmap translation for the guest address provided in addr,
pin a userspace page for the translated address and add it to the
list of mappings
KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_UNMAP
release a userspace page for the translated address specified in addr
from the list of mappings
