Subject: [Question] the check of ioeventfd collision in kvm_*assign_ioeventfd_idx

Hi all,

There are checks of ioeventfd collision in both kvm_assign_ioeventfd_idx()
and kvm_deassign_ioeventfd_idx(), however, with different logic.

In kvm_assign_ioeventfd_idx(), this is done by ioeventfd_check_collision():
---8<---
if (_p->bus_idx == p->bus_idx &&
_p->addr == p->addr &&
(!_p->length || !p->length ||
(_p->length == p->length &&
(_p->wildcard || p->wildcard ||
_p->datamatch == p->datamatch))))
// then we consider the two are the same
---8<---

The logic in kvm_deassign_ioeventfd_idx() is as follows:
---8<---
if (p->bus_idx != bus_idx ||
p->eventfd != eventfd ||
p->addr != args->addr ||
p->length != args->len ||
p->wildcard != wildcard)
continue;

if (!p->wildcard && p->datamatch != args->datamatch)
continue;

// then we consider the two are the same
---8<---

As we can see, there is extra check of p->eventfd in

(). Why we don't check p->eventfd
in kvm_assign_ioeventfd_idx()? Or should we delete this in
kvm_deassign_ioeventfd_idx()?


Thanks,
Zhenyu

I think we can do this in the same function, and turnt he check of
p->eventfd into assertion in kvm_deassign_ioeventfd_idx(). Just like:

---8<---
static inline struct _ioeventfd *
get_ioeventfd(struct kvm *kvm, enum kvm_bus bus_idx,
struct kvm_ioeventfd *args)
{
static struct _ioeventfd *_p;
bool wildcard = !(args->flags & KVM_IOEVENTFD_FLAG_DATAMATCH);

list_for_each_entry(_p, &kvm->ioeventfds, list)
if (_p->bus_idx == bus_idx &&
_p->addr == args->addr &&
(!_p->length || !args->len ||
(_p->length == args->len &&
(_p->wildcard || wildcard ||
_p->datamatch == args->datamatch))))
return _p;

return NULL;
}

kvm_deassign_ioeventfd_idx() {
...
p = get_ioeventfd(kvm, bus_idx, args);
if (p) {
assert(p->eventfd == eventfd);
...
}

---8<----

This may be easier to understand (keep the same logic in assign/deassign).

I will send a formal patch soon.

Thanks,
Zhenyu

I think you should also warn if:

1) p->length != args->len

2) p->wildcard != args->wildcard if p->length

3) p->datamatch != args->datamatch if p->length && !p->wildcard

but yeah it sounds like a plan.

I will try to do this. :)
