The design follows existing\nVFIO conventions and relies on kernel pcie-tph infrastructure.\n\nThis series addresses the TPH management requirements discussed\nin the RFC \"Proposal: Add sysfs interface for PCIe TPH Steering\nTag retrieval and configuration\".\n\nInstead of introducing a sysfs interface, we choose to implement\nTPH management via a VFIO-specific ioctl for these reasons:\n1. VFIO is the standard userspace interface for PCI devices.\n2. An ioctl approach provides better type safety, batch support\n and stable ABI compared to sysfs for configuration.\n3. VFIO properly isolates TPH operations to the assigned device,\n avoiding conflicts with other kernel management paths.\n\nBased on earlier RFC work by Wathsala Vithanage.\n\nv2:\n- Export pcie_tph_get_st_modes()\n- Add detailed comment for UAPI structures and operations\n- Add batch entry limit VFIO_TPH_MAX_ENTRIES\n- Improve robustness and error handling\n\nChengwen Feng (5):\n pci/tph: Export pcie_tph_get_st_modes() for external use\n vfio/pci: Add PCIe TPH interface with capability query\n vfio/pci: Add PCIe TPH enable/disable support\n vfio/pci: Add PCIe TPH GET_ST interface\n vfio/pci: Add PCIe TPH SET_ST interface\n\n drivers/pci/tph.c | 13 +-\n drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c | 213 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n include/linux/pci-tph.h | 7 +\n include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 131 +++++++++++++++++++\n 4 files changed, 362 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)" }
