From: Liang-Min Wang <[email protected]>
When a SR-IOV capable device is bound with vfio-pci, the
device loses capability of creating SR-IOV instances through /sy/bus/
pci/devices/.../sriov_numvfs. This patch re-activates this capability
for a PCIe device that is SR-IOV capable and is bound with vfio-pci.ko.
This patch also disables drivers_autoprobe attribute of SR-IOV devices
created from vfio-pci bound device by default, so user-space PF device
can coordinate the bring-up of SR-IOV devices

_GPL?
It'd also be best to separate the pci and vfio changes into different
patches. Bjorn would need to at least ack this PCI interface.

This looks stateful, VF autoprobe is not restored on release. Also,
how would we know the initial state to restore it to?

This probably deserves more explanation, in comment and commit log.
Probably a dev_crit() is also justified, knowing the PF would be
useful. Thanks,

The initial state is whatever the user set it to. It is something that
can be toggled on and off via sysfs, and it defaults to true at
initialization. In this case we are opting to toggle it off when VFIO
is attached to the device. Restoring it after unloading the driver
might be even more confusing since it is something the user could
toggle at any time so a restore would end up overwriting that.

I'm not really willing to sign up for the inevitable bug reports when
users can't figure out how to make their VFs work again in the host
after they've used the PF for userspace drivers with vfio-pci. I
agree, both options are confusing, how do we make it not confusing?
Can PCI core reset the autoprobe attribute to the default at some
obvious point? Thanks,

I would like to confirm the scenario discussed here is to unload PF driver, right?
Since users need to release all SR-IOV from PF driver first before PF driver is
released, does it make sense to restore autoprobe when VFs are released?
> Alex
We could do that. It shouldn't be an issue as long as we disable SR-IOV first.
It would just be a matter of recording the state of kernel_pf_autoprobe vs user_pf_autoprobe. It might be useful to make that distinction in the comments somewhere in the code and in the patch description.

We don't know that VFs will be created, but perhaps you mean the point
at which SR-IOV would be disabled in the PF unbind process. Still, I
think you're left with userspace and kernel-space both trying to use
the same control bit and they're going to step on each other and create
corner cases that are inconsistent. It's not necessarily even clear
how using separate trackers solves it since the kernel isn't
necessarily behaving in the way the user directed. Maybe the user
interface to autoprobe needs to be locked out if the PF driver disables
it.
Didn't we also discuss whether or not it's safe for vfio to enable
SR-IOV while the PF is in use by a user? Does that all fall into the
"Dr. it hurts when I do this..." category and contributes to tainting
the kernel when enabled? Definitely worth some comment words to
describe the various considerations contributing to kernel tainting.

To ensure there is no overlap between user-space applications to modify
autoprobe bit while kernel is changing its value. One approach is to move
the overwrite and restore into vfio_sriov_configure like below:
static int vfio_sriov_configure(struct pci_dev *pdev, int num_vfs)
{
int status;
bool old_autoprobe;
if (!num_vfs) {
pci_disable_sriov(pdev);
return 0;
}
/*
To avoid newly created VF to be bound with driver when
user-space PF may not be ready, disable the SR-IOV
instance driver automatic attachment, and save the original
setting and restore the setting after SR-IOV are created.
*/
old_autoprobe = pci_dev_sriov_autoprobe_set(pdev, vdev->sriov_driver_autoprobe);
status = pci_enable_sriov(pdev, num_vfs);
if (!status) {
dev_crit("Created %d SR-IOV from a user-space driver based upon vfio-pci\n"
"These VFs are not bound with driver when they are created.\n"
"User needs to bring up user-space PF driver first,"
" then bind new VFs with respective driver to"
" ensure there is a PF driver to respond any VF request\n", num_vfs);
add_taint(TAINT_USER, LOCKDEP_STILL_OK);
}
pci_dev_sriov_autoprobe_set(pdev, old_autoprobe);
Would that resolve the issue as described? If not, could there be an example to illustrate the scenario that was described.

Seems like the discussion here petered out without a real conclusion,
so I'm going to drop this one for now and wait for another try.
