SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Acceptance criteria for vfio-pci device specific driver variants +================================================================ + +Overview +-------- +The vfio-pci driver exists as a device agnostic driver using the +system IOMMU and relying on the robustness of platform fault +handling to provide isolated device access to userspace. While the +vfio-pci driver does include some device specific support, further +extensions for yet more advanced device specific features are not +sustainable. The vfio-pci driver has therefore split out +vfio-pci-core as a library that may be reused to implement features +requiring device specific knowledge, ex. saving and loading device +state for the purposes of supporting migration. + +In support of such features, it's expected that some device specific +variants may interact with parent devices (ex. SR-IOV PF in support of +a user assigned VF) or other extensions that may not be otherwise +accessible via the vfio-pci base driver. Authors of such drivers +should be diligent not to create exploitable interfaces via such +interactions or allow unchecked userspace data to have an effect +beyond the scope of the assigned device. + +New driver submissions are therefore requested to have approval via +Sign-off/Acked-by/etc for any interactions with parent drivers. +Additionally, drivers should make an attempt to provide sufficient +documentation for reviewers to understand the device specific +extensions, for example in the case of migration data, how is the +device state composed and consumed, which portions are not otherwise +available to the user via vfio-pci, what safeguards exist to validate +the data, etc. To that extent, authors should additionally expect to +require reviews from at least one of the listed reviewers, in addition +to the overall vfio maintainer. diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 4322b5321891..7f6b14013412 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -20314,6 +20314,16 @@ F: drivers/vfio/mdev/ F: include/linux/mdev.h F: samples/vfio-mdev/ +VFIO PCI VENDOR DRIVERS +R: Jason Gunthorpe +R: Yishai Hadas +R: Shameer Kolothum +R: Kevin Tian +L: kvm@vger.kernel.org +S: Maintained +P: Documentation/vfio/vfio-pci-vendor-driver-acceptance.rst +F: drivers/vfio/pci/*/ + VFIO PLATFORM DRIVER M: Eric Auger L: kvm@vger.kernel.org
