The series of patches intends to support EEH for PCI devices, which are
passed through to PowerKVM based guest via VFIO. The implementation is
straightforward based on the issues or problems we have to resolve to
support EEH for PowerKVM based guest.
- Emulation for EEH RTAS requests. All EEH RTAS requests goes to QEMU firstly.
If QEMU can't handle it, the request will be sent to host via newly introduced
VFIO container IOCTL command (VFIO_EEH_INFO) and gets handled in host kernel.
- The error injection infrastructure need support request from the userland
utility "errinjct" and PowerKVM based guest. The userland utility "errinjct"
works on pSeries platform well with dedicated syscall, which helps invoking
RTAS service to fulfil error injection in kernel. From the perspective, it's
reasonable to extend the syscall to support PowerNV platform so that OPAL call
can be invoked in host kernel for injecting errors. The data transported
between userland and kerenl is still following "struct rtas_args" for both
cases of PowerNV (OPAL) and pSeries (RTAS).
The series of patches requires corresponding firmware changes from Mike Qiu to
support error injection and QEMU changes to support EEH for guest. QEMU patchset
will be sent separately.
Change log
==========
v1 -> v2:
* EEH RTAS requests are routed to QEMU, and then possiblly to host kerenl.
The mechanism KVM in-kernel handling is dropped.
* Error injection is reimplemented based syscall, instead of KVM in-kerenl
handling. The logic for error injection token management is moved to
QEMU. The error injection request is routed to QEMU and then possiblly
to host kernel.
Testing on P7
=============
- Emulex adapter
Testing on P8
=============
- Need more testing after design is finalized.
