Subject: [PATCH 7/7] [v5] drivers/virt: introduce Freescale hypervisor management driver

Add the drivers/virt directory, which houses drivers that support
virtualization environments, and add the Freescale hypervisor management
driver.

The Freescale hypervisor management driver provides several services to
drivers and applications related to the Freescale hypervisor:

1. An ioctl interface for querying and managing partitions

2. A file interface to reading incoming doorbells

3. An interrupt handler for shutting down the partition upon receiving the
shutdown doorbell from a manager partition

4. A kernel interface for receiving callbacks when a managed partition
shuts down.

If I change it from 0, I'm going to break binary compatibility with our apps. I
agree that maybe I shouldn't have picked 0, but considering how many conflicts
there already are, I wonder what the point is. Even if I pick a number that is
currently not listed in the chart, that doesn't mean that it's actually not
being used, or that it won't conflict in the future.

So is it okay to stick with 0, or do I need to pick a new number?

Yes, I understood that.

I wasn't suggesting that you change the 0, just note that it has conflicts,
like other ioctls do.

Hi Timur, thanks for addressing the issues I pointed out. Unfortunately, I

As mentioned, it would be easier and more readable to just do

switch(cmd) {
case FSL_HV_IOCTL_PARTITION_RESTART:
...

case FSL_HV_IOCTL_PARTITION_GET_STATUS;
...

There is no need to check the bits individually when you can simply
compare the command number.

Using a #define here is usually preferred because then you can use #ifdef in a user
application to check if a given value has been assigned.

More importantly, the code you have chose (0) conflicts with existing drivers
(frame buffer, scsi and wavefront among others). Please chose a free one and
add it to Documentation/ioctl/ioctl-number.txt in the same patch.

But this will break backwards compatibility with older applications that used
the union as the size parameter. Although these applications won't compile with
the new header file, older already-compiled applications still work.

I will eventually update the applications to use the new header file, and at
that point I will modify the switch statement as you suggest. But until then,
I'd like to keep the code as-is.

You're right -- I had enum on the brain.

Ok, I was really hoping to avoid doing this. Like I said, binary compatibility
is important, and changing the type will break my existing apps. Are you
insisting that I pick a new number?

We normally don't try to maintain binary compatibility with out of tree
kernel patches. That only leads to inferior interfaces finding their way
into the kernel.

Why is binary compatibility important? Isn't this a brand new driver
for a brand new system? What userspace tools are out there in the wild
for such a thing?

I definitely insist that you have a proper interface in the driver at the
time that it gets merged, and that probably includes a collision-free
ioctl code.

You can probably make the driver support both the traditional and the
new interface, but I would prefer if you kept that as a private patch
on top a clean kernel driver. It's also a good idea to keep the header
file clean and only define the new interface there, to ensure that all
applications that are built in the future have to use the new interface.

When you make the patch to add backwards compat support, just add it
to the driver itself, not to the header.

This driver (and the hypervisor it talks to, plus the apps, etc) has been in
internal development for three years. There hasn't been a lot of effort
internally to release this software upstream until recently.

I personally have been complaining about it for quite some time, but I have no
control over our internal release process. Even when the hardware has been
announced and available for purchase, the BSP is sometimes only available under
NDA. Eventually, everything is publicly released, and most of the code is
pushed upstream, but it's a long and painful struggle at times.

My concern has been dealing with the headaches of bug reports from customers,
etc as they upgrade their kernel but not their apps, and then wonder why nothing
works.

But as Arnd pointed out, it really isn't as big of deal as I make it out to be.
I can maintain compatibility internally. I blame my allergy medicine.

It is also possible to add:
#define FSL_HV_IOCTL_PARTITION_RESTART FSL_HV_IOCTL_PARTITION_RESTART
to have much the same effect.
But there are many cases where #defines are better.
I only tend to use enums when the constanst are beting generated
by the expansion of a #define.

It is rather a PITA that, when 'int' went from 16 to 32 bits, the
BSD people used the high 16 bits for size/flags rather than
using the extra bits to help make ioctl's unique.
Linux seems to have copied BSD here - rather than SYSV.

One problem with clashing ioctl commands is when systems like
NetBSD are running linux binaries and need to translate ioctl
buffers to/from native format. If the ioctl commands are
unique this can be done much more easily.

This sort of stuff is one of the issues that should be being factored in
to any decision not to publish and submit the kernel code - ABIs that
haven't been reviewed upstream may well have this sort of issue.
