Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:

 - Add debugfs support, initially used for reporting device migration
   state (Longfang Liu)

 - Fixes and support for migration dirty tracking across multiple IOVA
   regions in the pds-vfio-pci driver (Brett Creeley)

 - Improved IOMMU allocation accounting visibility (Pasha Tatashin)

 - Virtio infrastructure and a new virtio-vfio-pci variant driver, which
   provides emulation of a legacy virtio interfaces on modern virtio
   hardware for virtio-net VF devices where the PF driver exposes
   support for legacy admin queues, ie. an emulated IO BAR on an SR-IOV
   VF to provide driver ABI compatibility to legacy devices (Yishai
   Hadas &amp; Feng Liu)

 - Migration fixes for the hisi-acc-vfio-pci variant driver (Shameer
   Kolothum)

 - Kconfig dependency fix for new virtio-vfio-pci variant driver (Arnd
   Bergmann)

<content type='text'>
The new vfio-virtio driver already has a dependency on VIRTIO_PCI_ADMIN_LEGACY,
but that is a bool symbol and allows vfio-virtio to be built-in even if
virtio-pci itself is a loadable module. This leads to a link failure:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/vfio/pci/virtio/main.o: in function `virtiovf_pci_probe':
main.c:(.text+0xec): undefined reference to `virtio_pci_admin_has_legacy_io'

Add another explicit dependency on the tristate symbol.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual fses.

  Features:

   - Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer

   - Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps for vma
     files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
     the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
     selftests

  Cleanups:

   - Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()

   - Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0

   - Clarify comment on access_override_creds()

   - Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
     helpers

   - Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups

   - Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
     keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
     namespaces

   - Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
     belongs to fs/

   - Simplify fput() for files that were never opened

   - Get rid of various pointless file helpers

   - Rename various file helpers

   - Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
     last cycle

   - Make relatime_need_update() return bool

   - Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks

   - Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
     counterparts

  Fixes:

   - Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
     kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**

   - s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places

   - Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()

   - Rename i_mapping-&gt;private_data to i_mapping-&gt;i_private_data

   - Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
     queues

   - Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance

   - Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
     pipe-&gt;max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
     has been resized and hang

   - Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus

   - s/passs/pass/g in various places

   - Fix kernel docs in ntfs

   - Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14

   - Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

When the optional PRE_COPY support was added to speed up the device
compatibility check, it failed to update the saving/resuming data
pointers based on the fd offset. This results in migration data
corruption and when the device gets started on the destination the
following error is reported in some cases,

<content type='text'>
Introduce a vfio driver over virtio devices to support the legacy
interface functionality for VFs.

Background, from the virtio spec [1].
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In some systems, there is a need to support a virtio legacy driver with
a device that does not directly support the legacy interface. In such
scenarios, a group owner device can provide the legacy interface
functionality for the group member devices. The driver of the owner
device can then access the legacy interface of a member device on behalf
of the legacy member device driver.

For example, with the SR-IOV group type, group members (VFs) can not
present the legacy interface in an I/O BAR in BAR0 as expected by the
legacy pci driver. If the legacy driver is running inside a virtual
machine, the hypervisor executing the virtual machine can present a
virtual device with an I/O BAR in BAR0. The hypervisor intercepts the
legacy driver accesses to this I/O BAR and forwards them to the group
owner device (PF) using group administration commands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Specifically, this driver adds support for a virtio-net VF to be exposed
as a transitional device to a guest driver and allows the legacy IO BAR
functionality on top.

This allows a VM which uses a legacy virtio-net driver in the guest to
work transparently over a VF which its driver in the host is that new
driver.

The driver can be extended easily to support some other types of virtio
devices (e.g virtio-blk), by adding in a few places the specific type
properties as was done for virtio-net.

For now, only the virtio-net use case was tested and as such we introduce
the support only for such a device.

Practically,
Upon probing a VF for a virtio-net device, in case its PF supports
legacy access over the virtio admin commands and the VF doesn't have BAR
0, we set some specific 'vfio_device_ops' to be able to simulate in SW a
transitional device with I/O BAR in BAR 0.

The existence of the simulated I/O bar is reported later on by
overwriting the VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO command and the device
exposes itself as a transitional device by overwriting some properties
upon reading its config space.

Once we report the existence of I/O BAR as BAR 0 a legacy driver in the
guest may use it via read/write calls according to the virtio
specification.

Any read/write towards the control parts of the BAR will be captured by
the new driver and will be translated into admin commands towards the
device.

In addition, any data path read/write access (i.e. virtio driver
notifications) will be captured by the driver and forwarded to the
physical BAR which its properties were supplied by the admin command
VIRTIO_ADMIN_CMD_LEGACY_NOTIFY_INFO upon the probing/init flow.

With that code in place a legacy driver in the guest has the look and
feel as if having a transitional device with legacy support for both its
control and data path flows.

Expose vfio_pci_core_iowrite/read##size() to let it be used by drivers.

This functionality is needed to enable direct access to some physical
BAR of the device with the proper locks/checks in place.

The next patches from this series will use this functionality on a data
path flow when a direct access to the BAR is needed.

Expose vfio_pci_core_setup_barmap() to be used by drivers.

This will let drivers to mmap a BAR and re-use it from both vfio and the
driver when it's applicable.

This API will be used in the next patches by the vfio/virtio coming
driver.
