Subject: [PATCH v5 00/10] vITS Migration fixes and reset
This series fixes various bugs observed when saving/restoring the
ITS state before the guest writes the ITS registers (on first boot or
after reset/reboot).
This is a follow up of Wanghaibin's series [1] plus additional
patches following additional code review. It also proposes one
ITS reset implementation.
Currently, the in-kernel emulated ITS is not reset. After a
reset/reboot, the ITS register values and caches are left
unchanged. Registers may point to some tables in guest memory
which do not exist anymore. If an ITS state backup is initiated
before the guest re-writes the registers, the save fails
because inconsistencies are detected. Also restore of data saved
as such moment is failing.
Patches [1-5] attempt to fix the migration issues without
implementing the reset IOCTL.
They are candidate for stable:
- handle case where all collection, device and ITT entries are
invalid on restore (which is not an error)
- Check the GITS_BASER<n> valid bit before attempting the save
any table
- Check the GITS_BASER<n> and GITS_CBASER are valid before enabling
the ITS
- save the collection table before device tables
Patches [6-10] allow to empty the caches on reset and implement a
new ITS reset IOCTL
Best Regards
Eric

* Testing:
- on Cavium using a virtio-net-pci guest and various sequences of
guest shutdown -r now, virsh reset, virsh suspend/resume,
virsh reboot, virsh save.restore, virsh shutdown

History:
v4 -> v5:
- came back to the original version of
KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Fix return value for device table restore
Rework of error handling will come later
- remove [PATCH v4 03/11] KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Improve error reporting
on device table save as of now
- remove KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Always attempt to save/restore device
and collection tables
inversing the save order of device/collection tables fixes the same issue
- reword ITS IOCTL doc
- add mutex lock in vgic_its_free_collection_list
- remove vgic_its_unmap_device
v3 -> v4:
- fixes a bug in indirect mode: in handle_l1_dte, set
*valid at the beginning of the function
v2 -> v3:
- Revisited error handling in restore functions
- Added "KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: fix
vgic_its_restore_collection_table returned value"
- Added "KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Check CBASER/BASER validity
before enabling the ITS"
- Removed KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Always allow clearing
GITS_CREADR/CWRITER
- Reworded documentation according to Christoffer's comments
v1 -> v2:
- added KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Always attempt to save/restore
device and collection tables
PATCH v1
- series including 2 modified patches of Wanghaibin
Eric Auger (8):
KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Fix vgic_its_restore_collection_table

cleared
KVM: arm/arm64: Document KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET
KVM: arm/arm64: vgic-its: Implement KVM_DEV_ARM_ITS_CTRL_RESET
wanghaibin (2):
