[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] vfio/mdev: add version field as mandatory attribute for mdev device

device version attribute in mdev sysfs is used by user space software
(e.g. libvirt) to query device compatibility for live migration of VFIO
mdev devices. This attribute is mandatory if a mdev device supports live
migration.
It consists of two parts: common part and vendor proprietary part.
common part: 32 bit. lower 16 bits is vendor id and higher 16 bits
identifies device type. e.g., for pci device, it is
"pci vendor id" | (VFIO_DEVICE_FLAGS_PCI << 16).
vendor proprietary part: this part is varied in length. vendor driver can
specify any string to identify a device.
When reading this attribute, it should show device version string of the
device of type <type-id>. If a device does not support live migration, it
should return errno.
When writing a string to this attribute, it returns errno for
incompatibility or returns written string length in compatibility case.
If a device does not support live migration, it always returns errno.
For user space software to use:
1.
Before starting live migration, user space software first reads source side
mdev device's version. e.g.
"#cat \
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:02.0/5ac1fb20-2bbf-4842-bb7e-36c58c3be9cd/mdev_type/version"
00028086-193b-i915-GVTg_V5_4
2.
Then, user space software writes the source side returned version string
to device version attribute in target side, and checks the return value.
If a negative errno is returned in the target side, then mdev devices in
source and target sides are not compatible;
If a positive number is returned and it equals to the length of written
string, then the two mdev devices in source and target side are compatible.
e.g.
(a) compatibility case
"# echo 00028086-193b-i915-GVTg_V5_4 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:02.0/882cc4da-dede-11e7-9180-078a62063ab1/mdev_type/version"
(b) incompatibility case
"#echo 00028086-193b-i915-GVTg_V5_1 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:02.0/882cc4da-dede-11e7-9180-078a62063ab1/mdev_type/version"
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
3. if two mdev devices are compatible, user space software can start
live migration, and vice versa.
Note: if a mdev device does not support live migration, it either does
not provide a version attribute, or always returns errno when its version
attribute is read/written.
