SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +==================================== +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) +- purge one pending floating I/O interrupt (KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IO_IRQ) +- enable/disable for the guest transparent async page faults +- register and modify adapter interrupt sources (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_*) +- modify AIS (adapter-interruption-suppression) mode state (KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM) +- inject adapter interrupts on a specified adapter (KVM_DEV_FLIC_AIRQ_INJECT) +- get/set all AIS mode states (KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL) + +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. + + -ENOBUFS is returned when the allocation of a kernelspace buffer has + failed. + + -EFAULT is returned when copying data to userspace failed. + 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_CLEAR_IO_IRQ + Deletes one (if any) I/O interrupt for a subchannel identified by the + subsystem identification word passed via the buffer specified by + attr->addr (address) and attr->attr (length). + + 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 flags; + }; + + 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), + swap whether the indicators need to be byte swapped, and flags contains + further characteristics of the adapter. + + Currently defined values for 'flags' are: + + - KVM_S390_ADAPTER_SUPPRESSIBLE: adapter is subject to AIS + (adapter-interrupt-suppression) facility. This flag only has an effect if + the AIS capability is enabled. + + Unknown flag values are ignored. + + + KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_MODIFY + Modifies attributes of an existing I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes + a kvm_s390_io_adapter_req specifying 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 + This is now a no-op. The mapping is purely done by the irq route. + KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_UNMAP + This is now a no-op. The mapping is purely done by the irq route. + + KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM + modify the adapter-interruption-suppression mode for a given isc if the + AIS capability is enabled. Takes a kvm_s390_ais_req describing:: + + struct kvm_s390_ais_req { + __u8 isc; + __u16 mode; + }; + + isc contains the target I/O interruption subclass, mode the target + adapter-interruption-suppression mode. The following modes are + currently supported: + + - KVM_S390_AIS_MODE_ALL: ALL-Interruptions Mode, i.e. airq injection + is always allowed; + - KVM_S390_AIS_MODE_SINGLE: SINGLE-Interruption Mode, i.e. airq + injection is only allowed once and the following adapter interrupts + will be suppressed until the mode is set again to ALL-Interruptions + or SINGLE-Interruption mode. + + KVM_DEV_FLIC_AIRQ_INJECT + Inject adapter interrupts on a specified adapter. + attr->attr contains the unique id for the adapter, which allows for + adapter-specific checks and actions. + For adapters subject to AIS, handle the airq injection suppression for + an isc according to the adapter-interruption-suppression mode on condition + that the AIS capability is enabled. + + KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL + Gets or sets the adapter-interruption-suppression mode for all ISCs. Takes + a kvm_s390_ais_all describing:: + + struct kvm_s390_ais_all { + __u8 simm; /* Single-Interruption-Mode mask */ + __u8 nimm; /* No-Interruption-Mode mask * + }; + + simm contains Single-Interruption-Mode mask for all ISCs, nimm contains + No-Interruption-Mode mask for all ISCs. Each bit in simm and nimm corresponds + to an ISC (MSB0 bit 0 to ISC 0 and so on). The combination of simm bit and + nimm bit presents AIS mode for a ISC. + + KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL is indicated by KVM_CAP_S390_AIS_MIGRATION. + +Note: The KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR device ioctls executed on +FLIC with an unknown group or attribute gives the error code EINVAL (instead of +ENXIO, as specified in the API documentation). It is not possible to conclude +that a FLIC operation is unavailable based on the error code resulting from a +usage attempt. + +.. note:: The KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IO_IRQ ioctl will return EINVAL in case a + zero schid is specified. |
