Hi Nikolay

As far as I am aware, irqfd currently is used in vfio context, not
ioeventfd, although they both are implemented in eventfd.c. Could you
elaborate?

This series enables the ioeventfd KVM capability on ARM.

The implementation routes MMIO access in the IO abort handler to the KVM IO bus.
If there is already a registered ioeventfd handler for this address, the file
descriptor will be triggered.

We extended the KVM IO bus API to expose the VCPU struct pointer. Now the VGIC
MMIO access is done through this API. For this to operate the VGIC registers a
kvm_io_device which reprresents the whole MMIO region.

typo & the whole dist MMIO region?

I think the transformation makes sense and does not bring upheavals in
the vgic code which is good.

Best Regards

Eric

The patches are implemented on top of the latest Andre's vGICv3 work from here:
http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-ap.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kvm-gicv3/v4

The code was tested on Dual Cortex-A15 Exynos5250 (ARM Chromebook).
