version attribute is used to check two mdev devices' compatibility. The key point of this version attribute is that it's rw. User space has no need to understand internal of device version and no need to compare versions by itself. Compared to reading version strings from both two mdev devices being checked, user space only reads from one mdev device's version attribute. After getting its version string, user space writes this string into the other mdev device's version attribute. Vendor driver of mdev device whose version attribute being written will check device compatibility of the two mdev devices for user space and return success for compatibility or errno for incompatibility.

So two readings of version attributes + checking in user space are now changed to one reading + one writing of version attributes + checking in vendor driver.

Format and length of version strings are now private to vendor driver who can define them freely.

__ user space /\ \ / \write / read \ ______/__ ___\|/___ | version | | version |-->check compatibility ----------- ----------- mdev device A mdev device B This version attribute is optional. If a mdev device does not provide with a version attribute, this mdev device is incompatible to all other mdev devices.

Live migration is able to take advantage of this version attribute. Before user space actually starts live migration, it can first check whether two mdev devices are compatible. v2: 1. added detailed intent and usage 2. made definition of version string completely private to vendor driver (Alex Williamson) 3. abandoned changes to sample mdev drivers (Alex Williamson) 4. mandatory --> optional (Cornelia Huck) 5. added description for errno (Cornelia Huck)

But seems also including vendor specific software migration version is more reasonable, because general VFIO migration code cannot know version of vendor specific software migration code until migration data is transferring to the target vm. Then renaming it to migration_version is more appropriate. :)

This actually makes sense. So, do I need to add a disclaimer in this doc like: vendor driver should be responsible by itself for a mdev device's migration compatibility.

During migration setup phase, general migration code in user space VFIO only checks this version of VFIO migration region, and will not check software version of vendor specific migration code.

It is suggested to incorporate at least parent device info and software version of vendor specific migration code into this migration_version attribute.

But I have a question about aggregation proposed earlier. Do we also have to assume the two mdev devices are of the same aggregation count? However, aggregation count is not available before a mdev device is created. :(

The reason of not giving up way 2 is that maybe it can accelerate user space getting information of device incompatible. if we only keep way 3, it would not know this info until writing this string to target attribute. do you agree?

What is "software version of vendor specific migration code"? If you're asking whether anything will check for parent device compatibility or parent vendor driver compatibility, the answer is no, that's what this interface is meant to provide. Userspace should need to do nothing more than verify the mdev types match and then use the version attribute to confirm source to target compatibility. > It is suggested to incorporate at least parent device info and software version > of vendor specific migration code into this migration_version attribute. We can make recommendations as "best practices", but ultimately it's an opaque string defined by the vendor driver. But you never addressed my comment that previous reviews asked for the attribute to be named something more specific to migration.

Any configuration beyond the base mdev type would imply that the base type could be compatible for migration, but the specific instances might not. Resolving that would imply that our version information needs to be relative to an instance, not just the base type. How would we extend this interface to support that? We could have a version attribute on each device instance, which might report something like: 0123456789,aggregate=2 IOW the device instance of version concatenates the mdev type version with the additional create parameters for that device. Writing this to the type attribute should be parsed by the vendor driver as support for given base device with specified additional create parameters. I'm afraid this also bring us around to treacherous questions around who is responsible for creating that device on the migration target and where is this meta information about the device exposed. Maybe instead of a per instance version attribute we would instead expose the create parameters as an attribute per instance and it would be userspace's responsibility to create a version string from the mdev type and create parameters similar to above. This would also make it possible to create a compatible instance on the target without pre-knowledge of how the device was created. Also, this issue exists already, but compatibility and capacity are two separate things, I think we want to limit this interface to the former. For instance, if I want to migrate an i915-GVTg_V5_1 device to another system where available_instances for that type is zero, the version attribute should strictly report the device compatibility, it's not responsible for returning an errno due to lack of resources. Similarly if we were to do something with aggregation, the version attribute would strictly report if the target supports creating that device with those parameters, not whether it has capacity to create such as device at that instant in time.

The string is opaque to the user, so if you're asking in (3) that the user read and parse some information in the string that indicates the device is non-migratable then no, I don't agree with that policy. If reading the version attribute produces a result, the only thing the user can do with that result is to test it by writing it to another version attribute. Thanks, Alex

I don't think so. If it wasn't obvious in my stream of consciousness previous reply, I prefer the latter mechanism where an instance exposes the creation attributes allowing the user to concatenate the version string and creation attributes to ask the type level version about compatibility. I think it's confusing to have a version on the instance that reports something different than the version on the type but we cannot remove the version on the type because we need to be able to test compatibility before instantiating an instance. Therefore let's not put a version on the instance is the conclusion I've come to. Thanks, Alex

This feature implements the version attribute for Intel's vGPU mdev devices. version attribute is rw. It's used to check device compatibility for two mdev devices. version string format and length are private for vendor driver. vendor driver is able to define them freely. For Intel vGPU of gen8 and gen9, the mdev device version consists of 3 fields: "vendor id" + "device id" + "mdev type". Reading from a vGPU's version attribute, a string is returned in below format: <vendor id>-<device id>-<mdev type>. e.g. 8086-193b-i915-GVTg_V5_2. Writing a string to a vGPU's version attribute will trigger GVT to check whether a vGPU identified by the written string is compatible with current vGPU owning this version attribute. errno is returned if the two vGPUs are incompatible. The length of written string is returned in compatible case. For other platforms, and for GVT not supporting vGPU live migration feature, errnos are returned when read/write of mdev devices' version attributes. For old GVT versions where no version attributes exposed in sysfs, it is regarded as not supporting vGPU live migration. For future platforms, besides the current 2 fields in vendor proprietary part, more fields may be added to identify Intel vGPU well for live migration purpose. v2: 1. removed 32 common part of version string (Alex Williamson) 2. do not register version attribute for GVT not supporting live migration.(Cornelia Huck) 3. for platforms out of gen8, gen9, return -EINVAL --> -ENODEV for incompatible.

This feature implements the version attribute for Intel's vGPU mdev devices. version attribute is rw. It's used to check device compatibility for two mdev devices. version string format and length are private for vendor driver. vendor driver is able to define them freely. For Intel vGPU of gen8 and gen9, the mdev device version consists of 3 fields: "vendor id" + "device id" + "mdev type". Reading from a vGPU's version attribute, a string is returned in below format: <vendor id>-<device id>-<mdev type>. e.g. 8086-193b-i915-GVTg_V5_2. Writing a string to a vGPU's version attribute will trigger GVT to check whether a vGPU identified by the written string is compatible with current vGPU owning this version attribute. errno is returned if the two vGPUs are incompatible. The length of written string is returned in compatible case. For other platforms, and for GVT not supporting vGPU live migration feature, errnos are returned when read/write of mdev devices' version attributes. For old GVT versions where no version attributes exposed in sysfs, it is regarded as not supporting vGPU live migration. For future platforms, besides the current 2 fields in vendor proprietary part, more fields may be added to identify Intel vGPU well for live migration purpose. v2: 1. removed 32 common part of version string (Alex Williamson) 2. do not register version attribute for GVT not supporting live migration.(Cornelia Huck) 3. for platforms out of gen8, gen9, return -EINVAL --> -ENODEV for incompatible.
