This adds cdev support for vfio_device. It allows the user to directly
open a vfio device w/o using the legacy container/group interface, as a
prerequisite for supporting new iommu features like nested translation
and etc.
The device fd opened in this manner doesn't have the capability to access
the device as the fops open() doesn't open the device until the successful
VFIO_DEVICE_BIND_IOMMUFD ioctl which will be added in a later patch.
With this patch, devices registered to vfio core would have both the legacy
group and the new device interfaces created.
- group interface : /dev/vfio/$groupID
- device interface: /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX - normal device
("X" is a unique number across vfio devices)
For a given device, the user can identify the matching vfioX by searching
the vfio-dev folder under the sysfs path of the device. Take PCI device
(0000:6a:01.0) as an example, /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:6a\:01.0/vfio-dev/vfioX
implies the matching vfioX under /dev/vfio/devices/, and vfio-dev/vfioX/dev
contains the major:minor number of the matching /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX.
The user can get device fd by opening the /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX.
The vfio_device cdev logic in this patch:
*) __vfio_register_dev() path ends up doing cdev_device_add() for each
vfio_device if VFIO_DEVICE_CDEV configured.
*) vfio_unregister_group_dev() path does cdev_device_del();
cdev interface does not support noiommu devices, so VFIO only creates the
legacy group interface for the physical devices that do not have IOMMU.
noiommu users should use the legacy group interface.
