PATCH 1/1 vfio/qat: extend Kconfig dependencies for 420xx and 6xxx devices
From: Vijay Sundar Selvamani <[email protected]>
Currently, the QAT VFIO PCI driver can only be configured when the 4xxx QAT driver (CRYPTO_DEV_QAT_4XXX) is enabled. This is too restrictive as the VFIO driver also supports VFs from the 420xx and 6xxx device families, which share a compatible migration interface.
Extends the Kconfig dependencies to allow configuration when any of the supported QAT device families (4xxx, 420xx, or 6xxx) are enabled.

420xx seems to be device ID 0x4947:
drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_accel_devices.h #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_QAT_420XXIOV 0x4947
We don't currently have that in the ID table for the vfio qat driver:
static const struct pci_device_id qat_vf_vfio_pci_table[] = {
/* Intel QAT GEN4 4xxx VF device */
{ PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x4941) },
{ PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x4943) },
{ PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x4945) },
/* Intel QAT GEN6 6xxx VF device */
{ PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x4949) },
{}
};Are we missing support for this device and is this Kconfig change therefore a little overeager? Thanks,
Alex

The PF-side live migration support for the 420xx VF (0x4947) was added in [1], however the qat_vf_vfio_pci_table in the qat_vfio_pci driver wasn't updated to include that device. I'm going to send a patch to add that.
Do you prefer both changes (Kconfig and table) on the same patch?

A separate patch is fine. Thanks,

Applied to vfio next branch for v7.1, still waiting on a patch that actually adds support for for 420xx to the variant driver. Thanks,
