- Create eventfd per vfio device assigned to a guest and register an
          event handler

	- This fd is passed to the vfio_pci driver through the SET_IRQ ioctl

	- When the device encounters an error, the eventfd is signalled
          and the qemu eventfd handler gets invoked.

	- In the handler decide what action to take. Current action taken
          is to terminate the guest.

Usually this is not OK, but I guess this is not guest triggerable.

Re-order these for alignment please.  ie:

    struct VFIOGroup *group;
    EventNotifier err_notifier;
    bool reset_works;
    bool pci_aer;

As Blue Swirl mentions, these returns at the end of void functions are
unnecessary.

We should know this already though, right?  Where's our call to
VFIO_DEVICE_GET_IRQ_INFO for this index?  I'd expect that should happen
in vfio_get_device where it can set some flag true, then this function
would exit immediately if that flag isn't set.  Then by the time we're
here, it's a legitimate error_report if we think this should work and
doesn't.

bool, so set to true or false.

This is also a legitimate error_report.  In general, if kernel vfio-pci
does or doesn't support a non-critical feature, that's a DPRINTF.  If
it's told us the feature is there and something doesn't work while
setting it up, that's an error_report.  Thanks,

Still not OK. Why not stop a guest with appropriate stop reason?

The thinking was that since this is a hardware error, we would want to stop the guest at the earliest. The hw_error() routine which aborts the qemu process was suggested by Alex and that seemed appropriate. Earlier I was using qemu_system_shutdown_request().  Any suggestions ?

Thanks

I am thinking vm_stop(). Stopping SMP guest (and UP too in fact)
involves sending IPIs to other cpus running guest's vcpus. Both exit()
and vm_stop() will do it, but former is implicitly in the kernel and
later is explicitly in QEMU.

I had used vm_stop(RUN_STATE_SHUTDOWN) earlier in my code. But while testing, guest ended up in a hang rather than exiting. There seems to some cleanup work which is being done as part of vm_stop. In our case, we wanted the guest to exit immediately. So use of hw_error() seemed appropriate.

Thoughts ?

What makes you think it hang? It stopped, precisely what it should do if
you call vm_stop(). Now it is possible for vm user to investigate what
happened and even salvage some data from guest memory.

That was ignorance on my part on the expected behavior of vm_stop(). 
So what you are suggesting is to stop the guest displaying an appropriate 
error/next-steps message and have the users do any data-collection/investigation 
and then manually kill the guest, if they so desire. Right ?

Sounds reasonable. As long as the guest is not touching the device, it should be okay.
Alex, Any comments ?

What's the libvirt behavior when a guest goes to vm_stop?  My only
concern would be whether the user is going to be confused by a state
where the vm is still up, but not running.  I imagine they'll have to
manually stop it and restart it to continue.  Thanks,

Alex
