      4FLIC (floating interrupt controller)
      5====================================
      6
      7FLIC handles floating (non per-cpu) interrupts, i.e. I/O, service and some
      8machine check interruptions. All interrupts are stored in a per-vm list of
      9pending interrupts. FLIC performs operations on this list.
     10
     11Only one FLIC instance may be instantiated.
     12
     13FLIC provides support to
     14- add interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE)
     15- inspect currently pending interrupts (KVM_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS)
     16- purge all pending floating interrupts (KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS)
     17- purge one pending floating I/O interrupt (KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IO_IRQ)
     18- enable/disable for the guest transparent async page faults
     19- register and modify adapter interrupt sources (KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_*)
     20- modify AIS (adapter-interruption-suppression) mode state (KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM)
     21- inject adapter interrupts on a specified adapter (KVM_DEV_FLIC_AIRQ_INJECT)
     22- get/set all AIS mode states (KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL)
     23
     24Groups:
     25  KVM_DEV_FLIC_ENQUEUE
     26    Passes a buffer and length into the kernel which are then injected into
     27    the list of pending interrupts.
     28    attr->addr contains the pointer to the buffer and attr->attr contains
     29    the length of the buffer.
     30    The format of the data structure kvm_s390_irq as it is copied from userspace
     31    is defined in usr/include/linux/kvm.h.
     32
     33  KVM_DEV_FLIC_GET_ALL_IRQS
     34    Copies all floating interrupts into a buffer provided by userspace.
     35    When the buffer is too small it returns -ENOMEM, which is the indication
     36    for userspace to try again with a bigger buffer.
     37
     38    -ENOBUFS is returned when the allocation of a kernelspace buffer has
     39    failed.
     40
     41    -EFAULT is returned when copying data to userspace failed.
     42    All interrupts remain pending, i.e. are not deleted from the list of
     43    currently pending interrupts.
     44    attr->addr contains the userspace address of the buffer into which all
     45    interrupt data will be copied.
     46    attr->attr contains the size of the buffer in bytes.
     47
     48  KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IRQS
     49    Simply deletes all elements from the list of currently pending floating
     50    interrupts.  No interrupts are injected into the guest.
     51
     52  KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IO_IRQ
     53    Deletes one (if any) I/O interrupt for a subchannel identified by the
     54    subsystem identification word passed via the buffer specified by
     55    attr->addr (address) and attr->attr (length).
     56
     57  KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_ENABLE
     58    Enables async page faults for the guest. So in case of a major page fault
     59    the host is allowed to handle this async and continues the guest.
     60
     61  KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_DISABLE_WAIT
     62    Disables async page faults for the guest and waits until already pending
     63    async page faults are done. This is necessary to trigger a completion interrupt
     64    for every init interrupt before migrating the interrupt list.
     65
     66  KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_REGISTER
     67    Register an I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes a kvm_s390_io_adapter
     68    describing the adapter to register::
     69
     70	struct kvm_s390_io_adapter {
     71		__u32 id;
     72		__u8 isc;
     73		__u8 maskable;
     74		__u8 swap;
     75		__u8 flags;
     76	};
     77
     78   id contains the unique id for the adapter, isc the I/O interruption subclass
     79   to use, maskable whether this adapter may be masked (interrupts turned off),
     80   swap whether the indicators need to be byte swapped, and flags contains
     81   further characteristics of the adapter.
     82
     83   Currently defined values for 'flags' are:
     84
     85   - KVM_S390_ADAPTER_SUPPRESSIBLE: adapter is subject to AIS
     86     (adapter-interrupt-suppression) facility. This flag only has an effect if
     87     the AIS capability is enabled.
     88
     89   Unknown flag values are ignored.
     90
     91
     92  KVM_DEV_FLIC_ADAPTER_MODIFY
     93    Modifies attributes of an existing I/O adapter interrupt source. Takes
     94    a kvm_s390_io_adapter_req specifying the adapter and the operation::
     95
     96	struct kvm_s390_io_adapter_req {
     97		__u32 id;
     98		__u8 type;
     99		__u8 mask;
    100		__u16 pad0;
    101		__u64 addr;
    102	};
    103
    104    id specifies the adapter and type the operation. The supported operations
    105    are:
    106
    107    KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_MASK
    108      mask or unmask the adapter, as specified in mask
    109
    110    KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_MAP
    111      This is now a no-op. The mapping is purely done by the irq route.
    112    KVM_S390_IO_ADAPTER_UNMAP
    113      This is now a no-op. The mapping is purely done by the irq route.
    114
    115  KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM
    116    modify the adapter-interruption-suppression mode for a given isc if the
    117    AIS capability is enabled. Takes a kvm_s390_ais_req describing::
    118
    119	struct kvm_s390_ais_req {
    120		__u8 isc;
    121		__u16 mode;
    122	};
    123
    124    isc contains the target I/O interruption subclass, mode the target
    125    adapter-interruption-suppression mode. The following modes are
    126    currently supported:
    127
    128    - KVM_S390_AIS_MODE_ALL: ALL-Interruptions Mode, i.e. airq injection
    129      is always allowed;
    130    - KVM_S390_AIS_MODE_SINGLE: SINGLE-Interruption Mode, i.e. airq
    131      injection is only allowed once and the following adapter interrupts
    132      will be suppressed until the mode is set again to ALL-Interruptions
    133      or SINGLE-Interruption mode.
    134
    135  KVM_DEV_FLIC_AIRQ_INJECT
    136    Inject adapter interrupts on a specified adapter.
    137    attr->attr contains the unique id for the adapter, which allows for
    138    adapter-specific checks and actions.
    139    For adapters subject to AIS, handle the airq injection suppression for
    140    an isc according to the adapter-interruption-suppression mode on condition
    141    that the AIS capability is enabled.
    142
    143  KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL
    144    Gets or sets the adapter-interruption-suppression mode for all ISCs. Takes
    145    a kvm_s390_ais_all describing::
    146
    147	struct kvm_s390_ais_all {
    148	       __u8 simm; /* Single-Interruption-Mode mask */
    149	       __u8 nimm; /* No-Interruption-Mode mask *
    150	};
    151
    152    simm contains Single-Interruption-Mode mask for all ISCs, nimm contains
    153    No-Interruption-Mode mask for all ISCs. Each bit in simm and nimm corresponds
    154    to an ISC (MSB0 bit 0 to ISC 0 and so on). The combination of simm bit and
    155    nimm bit presents AIS mode for a ISC.
    156
    157    KVM_DEV_FLIC_AISM_ALL is indicated by KVM_CAP_S390_AIS_MIGRATION.
    158
    159Note: The KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR device ioctls executed on
    160FLIC with an unknown group or attribute gives the error code EINVAL (instead of
    161ENXIO, as specified in the API documentation). It is not possible to conclude
    162that a FLIC operation is unavailable based on the error code resulting from a
    163usage attempt.
    164
    165.. note:: The KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IO_IRQ ioctl will return EINVAL in case a
    166	  zero schid is specified.
