PATCH 1/6 KVM: Clear assigned guest IRQ on release

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

When we deassign a guest IRQ, clear the potentially asserted guest line. There might be no chance for the guest to do this, specifically if we switch from INTx to MSI mode.

PATCH 2/6 KVM: Switch assigned device IRQ forwarding to threaded handler

In reply to Jan Kiszka

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

This improves the IRQ forwarding for assigned devices: By using the kernel's threaded IRQ scheme, we can get rid of the latency-prone work queue and simplify the code in the same run.

Moreover, we no longer have to hold assigned_dev_lock while raising the guest IRQ, which can be a lenghty operation as we may have to iterate over all VCPUs. The lock is now only used for synchronizing masking vs. unmasking of INTx-type IRQs, thus is renames to intx_lock.

Cosmetic change, but it helps to correlate IRQs with PCI devices.

PATCH 4/6 KVM: Save/restore state of assigned PCI device

In reply to Jan Kiszka

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

The guest may change states that pci_reset_function does not touch. So we better save/restore the assigned device across guest usage.

PATCH 5/6 KVM: Clean up kvm_vm_ioctl_assigned_device

In reply to Jan Kiszka

From: Jan Kiszka <[email protected]>

Any arch not supporting device assigment will also not build assigned-dev.c. So testing for KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT is pointless. KVM_CAP_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ is unconditinally set. Moreover, add a default case for dispatching the ioctl.
