8c37faa475f35d158622422788fe8e5aef3118e1 vfio-pci, ppc64/spapr: Reorder group-to-container attaching
At the moment VFIO PCI device initialization works as follows:
vfio_realize
vfio_get_group
vfio_connect_container
register memory listeners (1)
update QEMU groups lists
vfio_kvm_device_add_group
Then (example for pseries) the machine reset hook triggers region_add()
for all regions where listeners from (1) are listening:
ppc_spapr_reset
spapr_phb_reset
spapr_tce_table_enable
memory_region_add_subregion
vfio_listener_region_add
vfio_spapr_create_window
This scheme works fine until we need to handle VFIO PCI device hotplug
and we want to enable PPC64/sPAPR in-kernel TCE acceleration on,
i.e. after PCI hotplug we need a place to call
ioctl(vfio_kvm_device_fd, KVM_DEV_VFIO_GROUP_SET_SPAPR_TCE).
Since the ioctl needs a LIOBN fd (from sPAPRTCETable) and a IOMMU group fd
(from VFIOGroup), vfio_listener_region_add() seems to be the only place
for this ioctl().
However this only works during boot time because the machine reset
happens strictly after all devices are finalized. When hotplug happens,
vfio_listener_region_add() is called when a memory listener is registered
but when this happens:
1. new group is not added to the container->group_list yet;
2. VFIO KVM device is unaware of the new IOMMU group.
This moves bits around to have all necessary VFIO infrastructure
in place for both initial startup and hotplug cases.
[aw: ie, register vfio groups with kvm prior to memory listener
registration such that kvm-vfio pseudo device ioctls are available
during the region_add callback]
