vfio/mdev: embedd struct mdev_parent in the parent data structure

2022-10-04T18:06:58+00:00

Simplify mdev_{un}register_device by requiring the caller to pass in a structure allocate as part of the parent device structure. This removes the need for a list of parents and the separate mdev_parent refcount as we can simplify rely on the reference to the parent device.

s390/vfio-ap: update docs to include dynamic config support

2022-07-19T14:18:12+00:00

Update the documentation in vfio-ap.rst to include information about the AP dynamic configuration support (e.g., hot plug of adapters, domains and control domains via the matrix mediated device's sysfs assignment attributes). This patch also makes a few minor tweaks to make corrections and clarifications. Signed-off-by: Tony Krowiak Reviewed-by: Jason J. Herne Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev

vfio/mdev: Remove CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE

2021-06-21T21:29:25+00:00

For some reason the vfio_mdev shim mdev_driver has its own module and kconfig. As the next patch requires access to it from mdev.ko merge the two modules together and remove VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE. A later patch deletes this driver entirely.

s390/pci: expose UID uniqueness guarantee

2021-04-05T09:30:57+00:00

On s390 each PCI device has a user-defined ID (UID) exposed under /sys/bus/pci/devices//uid. This ID was designed to serve as the PCI device's primary index and to match the device within Linux to the device configured in the hypervisor. To serve as a primary identifier the UID must be unique within the Linux instance, this is guaranteed by the platform if and only if the UID Uniqueness Checking flag is set within the CLP List PCI Functions response. While the UID has been exposed to userspace since commit ac4995b9d570 ("s390/pci: add some new arch specific pci attributes") whether or not the platform guarantees its uniqueness for the lifetime of the Linux instance while defined is not visible from userspace. Remedy this by exposing this as a per device attribute at /sys/bus/pci/devices//uid_is_unique Keeping this a per device attribute allows for maximum flexibility if we ever end up with some devices not having a UID or not enjoying the guaranteed uniqueness.

S390: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

2020-07-13T17:33:14+00:00

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
