* vfio: Fix virqfd release raceAlex Williamson2012-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vfoi-pci supports a mechanism like KVM's irqfd for unmasking an interrupt through an eventfd. There are two ways to shutdown this interface: 1) close the eventfd, 2) ioctl (such as disabling the interrupt). Both of these do the release through a workqueue, which can result in a segfault if two jobs get queued for the same virqfd. Fix this by protecting the pointer to these virqfds by a spinlock. The vfio pci device will therefore no longer have a reference to it once the release job is queued under lock. On the ioctl side, we still flush the workqueue to ensure that any outstanding releases are completed. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
* vfio: Add PCI device driverAlex Williamson2012-07-31
Add PCI device support for VFIO. PCI devices expose regions for accessing config space, I/O port space, and MMIO areas of the device. PCI config access is virtualized in the kernel, allowing us to ensure the integrity of the system, by preventing various accesses while reducing duplicate support across various userspace drivers. I/O port supports read/write access while MMIO also supports mmap of sufficiently sized regions. Support for INTx, MSI, and MSI-X interrupts are provided using eventfds to userspace.
