[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 07/10] vfio/mdev: Allow the mdev_parent_ops to specify the device driver to bind

Thu Jun 17 14:22:15 UTC 2021


From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at nvidia.com>

This allows a mdev driver to opt out of using vfio_mdev.c, instead the
driver will provide a 'struct mdev_driver' and register directly with the
driver core.

Much of mdev_parent_ops becomes unused in this mode:
- create()/remove() are done via the mdev_driver probe()/remove()
- mdev_attr_groups becomes mdev_driver driver.dev_groups
- Wrapper function callbacks are replaced with the same ones from
  struct vfio_device_ops

 * dev_attr_groups: attributes of the parent device
 * mdev_attr_groups: attributes of the mediated device
 * supported_config: attributes to define supported configurations
+* device_driver: device driver to bind for mediated device instances
 
-The functions in the mdev_parent_ops structure are as follows:
+The mdev_parent_ops also still has various functions pointers.  Theses exist
+for historical reasons only and shall not be used for new drivers.
 
-* create: allocate basic resources in a driver for a mediated device
-* remove: free resources in a driver when a mediated device is destroyed
-
-(Note that mdev-core provides no implicit serialization of create/remove
-callbacks per mdev parent device, per mdev type, or any other categorization.
-Vendor drivers are expected to be fully asynchronous in this respect or
-provide their own internal resource protection.)
-
-The callbacks in the mdev_parent_ops structure are as follows:
-
-* open: open callback of mediated device
-* close: close callback of mediated device
-* ioctl: ioctl callback of mediated device
-* read : read emulation callback
-* write: write emulation callback
-* mmap: mmap emulation callback
-
-A driver should use the mdev_parent_ops structure in the function call to
-register itself with the mdev core driver::
+When a driver wants to add the GUID creation sysfs to an existing device it has
+probe'd to then it should call::
 
 	extern int  mdev_register_device(struct device *dev,
 	                                 const struct mdev_parent_ops *ops);
 
-However, the mdev_parent_ops structure is not required in the function call
-that a driver should use to unregister itself with the mdev core driver::
+This will provide the 'mdev_supported_types/XX/create' files which can then be
+used to trigger the creation of a mdev_device. The created mdev_device will be
+attached to the specified driver.
+
+When the driver needs to remove itself it calls::
 
 	extern void mdev_unregister_device(struct device *dev);
 
+Which will unbind and destroy all the created mdevs and remove the sysfs files.
