The Async PF one is critical event, as guest needs to handle it immediately.
Otherwise, it's possible that guest can't continue its execution. Besides,
the software signaled event (0x0) is normal event. They're the only two
events to be supported, I assume the software signaled event (0x0) is only
used selftest/kvm. So Async PF one becomes the only event and it can be
in normal priority until other SDEI event needs to be added and supported.

However, the logic to support critical/normal events has been here. So
I think it's probably nice to keep it. At least, it make it easier to
add a new SDEI event in future. We dropped the support for the shared
event from v5 to v6, I think we probably never need a shared event for
ever :)

Yeah, it's a nice point and lets do this in next respin.

It indicates the event can be raised by software or not. For those
events exposed by KVM should be raised by software, so this should
always be true.

If we don't support the critical event, this struct isn't needed except
@num field. However, I think it would be nice to support the critical
event. Besides, this struct can be merged with struct kvm_sdei_event
even the critical event is supported.

The struct and struct kvm_sdei_event are tracking the information
and state for one particular event. The information isn't changeable,
but state can be modify through hypercalls. It's the reason why I
had two separate structs to track the information and state.

Please refer to the above reply. struct kvm_sdei_exposed_event
and this struct are tracking information and state for one particular
event on one particular vcpu. The unchangeable information is
maintained in kvm_sdei_exposed_event, but the changeable state
is tracked by this struct. Besides, the struct kvm_sdei_exposed_event
instance can be dereferenced by mutiple struct kvm_sdei_event
instances on different vcpus.

Yes, these two fields should be dropped. The private event is always
routed to the owning vcpu.

Yes, the state is vcpu scoped. After the support to shared event is
dropped from v5 to v6, there are no VM scoped properties any more.
Besides, For one same event, separate (struct kvm_sdei_event) instances
are created for the individual vcpus.

Yes, we need this. "event == NULL" is used as indication of invalid
context. @event is the associated SDEI event when the context is
valid.

Good point. I don't think we needn't it any more. The lock was introduced
to allow comprehensive event injection. For example, the event is injected
in the context, which is out of the vcpu. We shouldn't have this case now.

I might be overthinking on the scheme. The host's firmware might have
SDEI supported and we want to propogate these events originated from
host's firmware to guest. In this case, we need to distinguish the events
originated from host's firmware and kvm (guest's firmware). Even this
case isn't possible to happen, I think it's still nice to distinguish
the events originated from a real firmware or KVM emulated firmware.

It would be hard because the caller can be guest. Generally, the
event and its associated information/state are accessed by hypercalls,
event injection and delivery, migration to be supported in future.
So I think it's good to check the event number by ourselves.

Nice point. It's impossible. I will drop this helper and
kvm_sdei_is_supported(). Instead, the kvm_sdei_exposed_event
or kvm_sdei_event array should be checked. Besides, The macros
KVM_SDEI_EVENT_NUM_TYPE_* should be dropped either.

Ok. Lets drop these helpers and go ahead to use {test, set, clear}_bit()
in next respin.

Yeah, I will define two macros in include/linux/arm-smccc.h, similar to
what you suggested for PATCH[02].

#define SMCCC_STD_SDEI_RANGE_START 0x0020
#define SMCCC_STD_SDEI_RANGE_END 0x003f

The support to share event was removed from v5 to v6. However, the @route_{
mode, affinity} fields in struct kvm_sdei_event should be dropped either.

For the critical event support, I think it would be nice to keep it as I
explained above. First of all, the async PF event is naturally a critical
event. Secondly, the support doesn't require any VM-scoped properties.
So the SDEI event and (vcpu) context can be accessed and migrated through
firmware pseudo-register easily in future.
Thanks,
Gavin
