Thanks, The reason for the relocation is to prevent new device which would result in the device->refcount increasing. If the user keeps open device then the device->refcount may keep increasing. Then the vfio_unregister_group_dev() may be stuck here. This is rare, but possible. By doing vfio_device_group_unregister(), the device is removed from the group->device_list. Then user cannot open the device by VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD. Hence it won't increase the device->refcount. I agree with you, this should be done in a separate patch. Same reason for relocating device_del(&device->device); User may keep opening the cdev to increase the device->refcount. Then the vfio_device_group_unregister() path would be stuck as well. But this relocation needs to be done here since user cannot do it if without cdev. Last, need to keep the balance comment as well even the sequence it not strictly mirrored. will keep the comment. > Alex > > > /* Balances vfio_device_set_group in register path */ > > vfio_device_remove_group(device); > > } > > @@ -555,7 +557,8 @@ static int vfio_device_fops_release(struct inode *inode, > struct file *filep) > > struct vfio_device_file *df = filep->private_data; > > struct vfio_device *device = df->device; > > > > - vfio_device_group_close(df); > > + if (df->group) > > + vfio_device_group_close(df); > > > > vfio_device_put_registration(device); > > Thanks, Yi Liu

This allows user to directly open a vfio device w/o using the legacy container/group interface, as a prerequisite for supporting new iommu features like nested translation. The device fd opened in this manner doesn't have the capability to access the device as the fops open() doesn't open the device until the successful BIND_IOMMUFD which be added in next patch. With this patch, devices registered to vfio core have both group and device interface created. - group interface : /dev/vfio/$groupID - device interface: /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX - normal device /dev/vfio/devices/noiommu-vfioX - noiommu device ("X" is the minor number and is unique across devices) Given a vfio device the user can identify the matching vfioX by checking the sysfs path of the device. Take PCI device (0000:6a:01.0) for example, /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:6a\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfio0/dev contains the major:minor of the matching vfioX. Userspace then opens the /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX and checks with fstat that the major:minor matches. The vfio_device cdev logic in this patch: *) __vfio_register_dev() path ends up doing cdev_device_add() for each vfio_device if VFIO_DEVICE_CDEV configured. *) vfio_unregister_group_dev() path does cdev_device_del(); Reviewed-by: Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@intel.com> Tested-by: Terrence Xu <terrence.xu@intel.com> Tested-by: Nicolin Chen <nicolinc@nvidia.com> Tested-by: Matthew Rosato <mjrosato@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Yi Liu <yi.l.liu@intel.com> --- drivers/vfio/Kconfig | 11 +++++++ drivers/vfio/Makefile | 1 + drivers/vfio/device_cdev.c | 62 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/vfio.h | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c | 26 +++++++++++----- include/linux/vfio.h | 4 +++ 6 files changed, 143 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/vfio/device_cdev.c
