Currently the handling of events is supported either in the kernel or userspace, but not both.

In order to support fast delivery of interrupts from the guest to the backend, we need to handle the Queue notify part of Virtio protocol in kernel and the rest in userspace.

Update the interrupt handler registration flag to IRQF_SHARED for event channels, which would allow multiple entities to bind their interrupt handler for the same event channel port.

Also increment the reference count of irq_info when multiple entities try to bind event channel to irqchip, so the unbinding happens only after all the users are gone.

Virtio guests send VIRTIO_MMIO_QUEUE_NOTIFY notification when they need to notify the backend of an update to the status of the virtqueue. The backend or another entity, polls the MMIO address for updates to know when the notification is sent.

It works well if the backend does this polling by itself. But as we move towards generic backend implementations, we end up implementing this in a separate user-space program.

Generally, the Virtio backends are implemented to work with the Eventfd based mechanism. In order to make such backends work with Xen, another software layer needs to do the polling and send an event via eventfd to the backend once the notification from guest is received. This results in an extra context switch.

This is not a new problem in Linux though. It is present with other hypervisors like KVM, etc. as well. The generic solution implemented in the kernel for them is to provide an IOCTL call to pass the address to poll and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling and raise an event on the eventfd, instead of handling this in user space (which involves an extra context switch).

This patch adds similar support for xen.

Inspired by existing implementations for KVM, etc..

This also copies ioreq.h header file (only struct ioreq and related macros) from Xen's source tree (Top commit 5d84f07fe6bf ("xen/pci: drop remaining uses of bool_t")).

Is this really needed after calling mutex_unlock()? I think you are trying to avoid any accesses to go past ioreq->state modification. If so, add a comment (either why you need the barrier, or that you don't need it due to the unlock).

In general, shouldn't the state be checked and modified in the locked area?

And a mutex_lock() inside an IRQ-handler seems dubious: This is allowed only in case the handler has been defined to run in a threaded IRQ. Otherwise you'd end up trying to schedule() in an interrupt-off section. I'd suggest you use a spinlock instead.

Using indirect pointers in an ioctl command argument means that the layout is architecture specific, in particular you can't use the same one from 32-bit compat tasks. The general recommendation is to have __u64 members and use u64_to_user_ptr() to access it from the kernel if you are unable to avoid the pointers altogether.

_IOC() an internal helper that you should not use in driver code. In particular, you go the data direction wrong here, which breaks a number of tools, as having "_IOC_NONE" should never be paired with a nonzero size.

Instead, you should use the existing _IOWR() or _IOR() macros without the 'sizeof()' like

#define IOCTL_PRIVCMD_IOEVENTFD _IOWR('P', 9, struct privcmd_ioeventfd)

You clearly copied this from the other ioctl command definitions in the same file that we can't easily fix without breaking the user ABI, but I still think you should try to do it correctly for new commands.
