Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed to allocate a single object be greater when using these options. The most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size. Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or under heavy fragmentation. This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders: slub_debug=O When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a order-1 minimum slab order.

This doesn't make much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong pointer type. So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg pointer. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: David S.

It is currently available on desktop systems based on the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45 Express chipsets. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/. This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which has been updated for the new released platforms. A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file in this patch. This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality, documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure, and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes properly.

The Integrity +Measurement Architecture (IMA) and Linux Integrity Module interface +are examples of such solutions. + +To get trust in the initial kernel without using Intel TXT, a +static root of trust must be used. This bases trust in BIOS +starting at system reset and requires measurement of all code +executed between system reset through the completion of the kernel +boot as well as data objects used by that code. In the case of a +Linux kernel, this means all of BIOS, any option ROMs, the +bootloader and the boot config. In practice, this is a lot of +code/data, much of which is subject to change from boot to boot +(e.g. changing NICs may change option ROMs). Without reference +hashes, these measurement changes are difficult to assess or +confirm as benign. This process also does not provide DMA +protection, memory configuration/alias checks and locks, crash +protection, or policy support. + +By using the hardware-based root of trust that Intel TXT provides, +many of these issues can be mitigated. Specifically: many +pre-launch components can be removed from the trust chain, DMA +protection is provided to all launched components, a large number +of platform configuration checks are performed and values locked, +protection is provided for any data in the event of an improper +shutdown, and there is support for policy-based execution/verification. +This provides a more stable measurement and a higher assurance of +system configuration and initial state than would be otherwise +possible. Since the tboot project is open source, source code for +almost all parts of the trust chain is available (excepting SMM and +Intel-provided firmware). + +How Does it Work? +================= + +o Tboot is an executable that is launched by the bootloader as + the "kernel" (the binary the bootloader executes). +o It performs all of the work necessary to determine if the + platform supports Intel TXT and, if so, executes the GETSEC[SENTER] + processor instruction that initiates the dynamic root of trust. + - If tboot determines that the system does not support Intel TXT + or is not configured correctly (e.g. the SINIT AC Module was + incorrect), it will directly launch the kernel with no changes + to any state. + - Tboot will output various information about its progress to the + terminal, serial port, and/or an in-memory log; the output + locations can be configured with a command line switch. +o The GETSEC[SENTER] instruction will return control to tboot and + tboot then verifies certain aspects of the environment (e.g. TPM NV + lock, e820 table does not have invalid entries, etc.). +o It will wake the APs from the special sleep state the GETSEC[SENTER] + instruction had put them in and place them into a wait-for-SIPI + state. + - Because the processors will not respond to an INIT or SIPI when + in the TXT environment, it is necessary to create a small VT-x + guest for the APs. When they run in this guest, they will + simply wait for the INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence, which will cause + VMEXITs, and then disable VT and jump to the SIPI vector. This + approach seemed like a better choice than having to insert + special code into the kernel's MP wakeup sequence. +o Tboot then applies an (optional) user-defined launch policy to + verify the kernel and initrd. + - This policy is rooted in TPM NV and is described in the tboot + project. The tboot project also contains code for tools to + create and provision the policy. + - Policies are completely under user control and if not present + then any kernel will be launched. + - Policy action is flexible and can include halting on failures + or simply logging them and continuing. +o Tboot adjusts the e820 table provided by the bootloader to reserve + its own location in memory as well as to reserve certain other + TXT-related regions. +o As part of it's launch, tboot DMA protects all of RAM (using the + VT-d PMRs).

This feature is redundant as chrdev already has such mechanism. This preemptive claiming prevents alternative OSS implementation. The custom module aliases are scheduled to be removed and the previous patch made soundcore emit the standard chrdev aliases too to help transition. This patch schedule the feature for removal in a year and makes it optional so that developers and distros can try new things in the meantime without rebuilding the kernel. The pre-claiming can be turned off by using SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and/or kernel parameter soundcore.preclaim_oss. As this allows sound minors to be individually grabbed by other users, this patch updates sound_insert_unit() such that if registering individual device region fails, it tries the next available slot.

ADD + +The ADD event occurs at mount time. It will always be the first +uevent generated by the newly created filesystem. If the mount +is successful, an ONLINE uevent will follow. If it is not successful +then a REMOVE uevent will follow. + +The ADD uevent has two environment variables: SPECTATOR=[0|1] +and RDONLY=[0|1] that specify the spectator status (a read-only mount +with no journal assigned), and read-only (with journal assigned) status +of the filesystem respectively. + +2. ONLINE + +The ONLINE uevent is generated after a successful mount or remount. It +has the same environment variables as the ADD uevent. The ONLINE +uevent, along with the two environment variables for spectator and +RDONLY are a relatively recent addition (2.6.32-rc+) and will not +be generated by older kernels. + +3. CHANGE + +The CHANGE uevent is used in two places. One is when reporting the +successful mount of the filesystem by the first node (FIRSTMOUNT=Done). +This is used as a signal by gfs_controld that it is then ok for other +nodes in the cluster to mount the filesystem. + +The other CHANGE uevent is used to inform of the completion +of journal recovery for one of the filesystems journals. It has +two environment variables, JID= which specifies the journal id which +has just been recovered, and RECOVERY=[Done|Failed] to indicate the +success (or otherwise) of the operation. These uevents are generated +for every journal recovered, whether it is during the initial mount +process or as the result of gfs_controld requesting a specific journal +recovery via the /sys/fs/gfs2//lock_module/recovery file. + +Because the CHANGE uevent was used (in early versions of gfs_controld) +without checking the environment variables to discover the state, we +cannot add any more functions to it without running the risk of +someone using an older version of the user tools and breaking their +cluster. For this reason the ONLINE uevent was used when adding a new +uevent for a successful mount or remount. + +4. OFFLINE + +The OFFLINE uevent is only generated due to filesystem errors and is used +as part of the "withdraw" mechanism. Currently this doesn't give any +information about what the error is, which is something that needs to +be fixed. + +5. REMOVE + +The REMOVE uevent is generated at the end of an unsuccessful mount +or at the end of a umount of the filesystem. All REMOVE uevents will +have been preceeded by at least an ADD uevent for the same fileystem, +and unlike the other uevents is generated automatically by the kernel's +kobject subsystem. + + +Information common to all GFS2 uevents (uevent environment variables) +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +1. LOCKTABLE= + +The LOCKTABLE is a string, as supplied on the mount command +line (locktable=) or via fstab.

LOCKPROTO= + +The LOCKPROTO is a string, and its value depends on what is set +on the mount command line, or via fstab. It will be either +lock_nolock or lock_dlm.

Wysocki , Novell Inc. + +1. Introduction + +Support for run-time power management (run-time PM) of I/O devices is provided +at the power management core (PM core) level by means of: + +* The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device drivers can + put their PM-related work items. It is strongly recommended that pm_wq be + used for queuing all work items related to run-time PM, because this allows + them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions (suspend to RAM, + hibernation and resume from system sleep states). pm_wq is declared in + include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c. + +* A number of run-time PM fields in the 'power' member of 'struct device' (which + is of the type 'struct dev_pm_info', defined in include/linux/pm.h) that can + be used for synchronizing run-time PM operations with one another. + +* Three device run-time PM callbacks in 'struct dev_pm_ops' (defined in + include/linux/pm.h). + +* A set of helper functions defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c that can be + used for carrying out run-time PM operations in such a way that the + synchronization between them is taken care of by the PM core. Bus types and + device drivers are encouraged to use these functions. + +The run-time PM callbacks present in 'struct dev_pm_ops', the device run-time PM +fields of 'struct dev_pm_info' and the core helper functions provided for +run-time PM are described below. + +2. Device Run-time PM Callbacks + +There are three device run-time PM callbacks defined in 'struct dev_pm_ops': + +struct dev_pm_ops { + ... + int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev); + int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev); + void (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev); + ... +}; + +The ->runtime_suspend() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of +the device being suspended. The bus type's callback is then _entirely_ +_responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not +include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the +PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend() +callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() knows +what to do to handle the device). + + * Once the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback has completed successfully + for given device, the PM core regards the device as suspended, which need + not mean that the device has been put into a low power state. It is + supposed to mean, however, that the device will not process data and will + not communicate with the CPU(s) and RAM until its bus type's + ->runtime_resume() callback is executed for it. The run-time PM status of + a device after successful execution of its bus type's ->runtime_suspend() + callback is 'suspended'. + + * If the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, + the device's run-time PM status is supposed to be 'active', which means that + the device _must_ be fully operational afterwards. + + * If the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback returns an error code + different from -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as a fatal + error and will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section 4 + for the device, until the status of it is directly set either to 'active' + or to 'suspended' (the PM core provides special helper functions for this + purpose). + +In particular, if the driver requires remote wakeup capability for proper +functioning and device_may_wakeup() returns 'false' for the device, then +->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY. On the other hand, if +device_may_wakeup() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put +into a low power state during the execution of its bus type's +->runtime_suspend(), it is expected that remote wake-up (i.e. hardware mechanism +allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as PCI PME) +will be enabled for the device. Generally, remote wake-up should be enabled +for all input devices put into a low power state at run time. + +The ->runtime_resume() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of +the device being woken up. The bus type's callback is then _entirely_ +_responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not +include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_resume() callback (from the +PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume() +callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_resume() knows +what to do to handle the device). + + * Once the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback has completed successfully, + the PM core regards the device as fully operational, which means that the + device _must_ be able to complete I/O operations as needed. The run-time + PM status of the device is then 'active'. + + * If the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback returns an error code, the PM + core regards this as a fatal error and will refuse to run the helper + functions described in Section 4 for the device, until its status is + directly set either to 'active' or to 'suspended' (the PM core provides + special helper functions for this purpose). + +The ->runtime_idle() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of +given device whenever the device appears to be idle, which is indicated to the +PM core by two counters, the device's usage counter and the counter of 'active' +children of the device. + + * If any of these counters is decreased using a helper function provided by + the PM core and it turns out to be equal to zero, the other counter is + checked.

Run-time PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal + +Initially, the run-time PM is disabled for all devices, which means that the +majority of the run-time PM helper funtions described in Section 4 will return +-EAGAIN until pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. + +In addition to that, the initial run-time PM status of all devices is +'suspended', but it need not reflect the actual physical state of the device. +Thus, if the device is initially active (i.e. it is able to process I/O), its +run-time PM status must be changed to 'active', with the help of +pm_runtime_set_active(), before pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. + +However, if the device has a parent and the parent's run-time PM is enabled, +calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless +the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set. Namely, in that case the +parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper +functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's +run-time PM is still disabled (i.e. pm_runtime_enable() hasn't been called for +the child yet or pm_runtime_disable() has been called for it). For this reason, +once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable() +should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its run-time PM +status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of +pm_runtime_set_suspended(). + +If the default initial run-time PM status of the device (i.e. 'suspended') +reflects the actual state of the device, its bus type's or its driver's +->probe() callback will likely need to wake it up using one of the PM core's +helper functions described in Section 4. In that case, pm_runtime_resume() +should be used. Of course, for this purpose the device's run-time PM has to be +enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable(). + +If the device bus type's or driver's ->probe() or ->remove() callback runs +pm_runtime_suspend() or pm_runtime_idle() or their asynchronous counterparts, +they will fail returning -EAGAIN, because the device's usage counter is +incremented by the core before executing ->probe() and ->remove(). Still, it +may be desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() or ->remove() has +finished, so the PM core uses pm_runtime_idle_sync() to invoke the device bus +type's ->runtime_idle() callback at that time. -- cgit v1.2.3 From d6714c22b43fbcbead7e7b706ff270e15f04a791 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E.

This replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this will be after a wait*() syscall. To support this, three new security hooks have been provided: cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if the process may replace its parent's session keyring. The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it. Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path. This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace execution. This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed the newpag flag. This can be tested with the following program: #include #include #include #define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18 #define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0) int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_serial_t keyring, key; long ret; keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]); OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring"); key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring); OSERROR(key, "add_key"); ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT); OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT"); return 0; } Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043 [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 1055658746 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello 340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named 'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

In networking environments where DNAT rules in iptables prerouting chains convert destination IP's to link-local/private IP addresses, SCTP connections fail to establish as the INIT chunk is dropped by the kernel due to address scope match failure. For example to support overlapping IP addresses (same IP address with different vlan id) a Layer-5 application listens on link local IP's, and there is a DNAT rule that maps the destination IP to a link local IP. Such applications never get the SCTP INIT if the address-scoping draft is strictly followed. This sysctl configuration allows SCTP to function in such unconventional networking environments. Sysctl options: 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping draft altogether 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping (default, current behavior) 2 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 private addresses in init/init-ack 3 - Enable address scoping but allow IPv4 link local address in init/init-ack Signed-off-by: Bhaskar Dutta Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich --- Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt b/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt index 4e9c6d7b4ef..fbe427a6580 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt +++ b/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt @@ -1297,6 +1297,16 @@ sctp_rmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max sctp_wmem - vector of 3 INTEGERs: min, default, max See tcp_wmem for a description. +addr_scope_policy - INTEGER + Control IPv4 address scoping - draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctp-ipv4-00 + + 0 - Disable IPv4 address scoping + 1 - Enable IPv4 address scoping + 2 - Follow draft but allow IPv4 private addresses + 3 - Follow draft but allow IPv4 link local addresses + + Default: 1 + /proc/sys/net/core/* dev_weight - INTEGER -- cgit v1.2.3 From a65cc60f6349fe91539f736dad8fb2398488e431 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "ddiaz@cenditel.gob.ve" Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2009 16:28:06 -0430 Subject: ALSA: hda/realtek: Added support for CLEVO M540R subsystem, 6 channel + digital The model clevo-m540r was created with 6-channel and digital support.

File descritpors + +The kvm API is centered around file descriptors. An initial +open("/dev/kvm") obtains a handle to the kvm subsystem; this handle +can be used to issue system ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl on this +handle will create a VM file descripror which can be used to issue VM +ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl on a VM fd will create a virtual cpu +and return a file descriptor pointing to it. Finally, ioctls on a vcpu +fd can be used to control the vcpu, including the important task of +actually running guest code. + +In general file descriptors can be migrated among processes by means +of fork() and the SCM_RIGHTS facility of unix domain socket. These +kinds of tricks are explicitly not supported by kvm. While they will +not cause harm to the host, their actual behavior is not guaranteed by +the API.

This solution not ideal, though. On 32-bit systems, +memory from vmalloc() must be mapped into a relatively small address space; +it's easy to run out. On SMP systems, the page table changes required by +vmalloc() allocations can require expensive cross-processor interrupts on +all CPUs. And, on all systems, use of space in the vmalloc() range +increases pressure on the translation lookaside buffer (TLB), reducing the +performance of the system. + +In many cases, the need for memory from vmalloc() can be eliminated by +piecing together an array from smaller parts; the flexible array library +exists to make this task easier. + +A flexible array holds an arbitrary (within limits) number of fixed-sized +objects, accessed via an integer index. Sparse arrays are handled +reasonably well. Only single-page allocations are made, so memory +allocation failures should be relatively rare. The down sides are that the +arrays cannot be indexed directly, individual object size cannot exceed the +system page size, and putting data into a flexible array requires a copy +operation. It's also worth noting that flexible arrays do no internal +locking at all; if concurrent access to an array is possible, then the +caller must arrange for appropriate mutual exclusion. + +The creation of a flexible array is done with: + + #include + + struct flex_array *flex_array_alloc(int element_size, + unsigned int total, + gfp_t flags); + +The individual object size is provided by element_size, while total is the +maximum number of objects which can be stored in the array. The flags +argument is passed directly to the internal memory allocation calls. With +the current code, using flags to ask for high memory is likely to lead to +notably unpleasant side effects. + +Storing data into a flexible array is accomplished with a call to: + + int flex_array_put(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr, + void *src, gfp_t flags); + +This call will copy the data from src into the array, in the position +indicated by element_nr (which must be less than the maximum specified when +the array was created). If any memory allocations must be performed, flags +will be used. The return value is zero on success, a negative error code +otherwise. + +There might possibly be a need to store data into a flexible array while +running in some sort of atomic context; in this situation, sleeping in the +memory allocator would be a bad thing. That can be avoided by using +GFP_ATOMIC for the flags value, but, often, there is a better way. The +trick is to ensure that any needed memory allocations are done before +entering atomic context, using: + + int flex_array_prealloc(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int start, + unsigned int end, gfp_t flags); + +This function will ensure that memory for the elements indexed in the range +defined by start and end has been allocated. Thereafter, a +flex_array_put() call on an element in that range is guaranteed not to +block. + +Getting data back out of the array is done with: + + void *flex_array_get(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr); + +The return value is a pointer to the data element, or NULL if that +particular element has never been allocated. + +Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which +has never been stored in the array. Memory for array elements is allocated +one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several +adjacent elements. The flexible array code does not know if a specific +element has been written; it only knows if the associated memory is +present. So a flex_array_get() call on an element which was never stored +in the array has the potential to return a pointer to random data. If the +caller does not have a separate way to know which elements were actually +stored, it might be wise, at least, to add GFP_ZERO to the flags argument +to ensure that all elements are zeroed. + +There is no way to remove a single element from the array. It is possible, +though, to remove all elements with a call to: + + void flex_array_free_parts(struct flex_array *array); + +This call frees all elements, but leaves the array itself in place. +Freeing the entire array is done with: + + void flex_array_free(struct flex_array *array); + +As of this writing, there are no users of flexible arrays in the mainline +kernel. The functions described here are also not exported to modules; +that will probably be fixed when somebody comes up with a need for it. -- cgit v1.2.3 From c114728af2acdca0bd8b1d2f5792e393c775f5fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans-Joachim Picht Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:28:47 +0200 Subject: [S390] add call home support Signed-off-by: Hans-Joachim Picht Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky --- Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt b/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt index 322a00bb99d..2dbff53369d 100644 --- a/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt +++ b/Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ Currently, these files might (depending on your configuration) show up in /proc/sys/kernel: - acpi_video_flags - acct +- callhome [ S390 only ] - auto_msgmni - core_pattern - core_uses_pid @@ -91,6 +92,21 @@ valid for 30 seconds. ============================================================== +callhome: + +Controls the kernel's callhome behavior in case of a kernel panic. + +The s390 hardware allows an operating system to send a notification +to a service organization (callhome) in case of an operating system panic. + +When the value in this file is 0 (which is the default behavior) +nothing happens in case of a kernel panic.

Tsirkin" Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:29:34 +0300 Subject: uio: add generic driver for PCI 2.3 devices This adds a generic uio driver that can bind to any PCI device. First user will be virtualization where a qemu userspace process needs to give guest OS access to the device. Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI command register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register. All devices compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI Express devices should support these bits. Driver detects this support, and won't bind to devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit in the command register. It's expected that more features of interest to virtualization will be added to this driver in the future. Possibilities are: mmap for device resources, MSI/MSI-X, eventfd (to interface with kvm), iommu. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Chris Wright Signed-off-by: Hans J.
