[RFC PATCH v3 0/7] Use ACPI PCI hot-plug for Q35


From: Julia Suvorova
Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 0/7] Use ACPI PCI hot-plug for Q35
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2020 09:00:06 +0200

The patch set consists of two parts:
patches 1-4: introduce new feature
             'acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support' on Q35
patches 5-7: make the feature default along with changes in ACPI tables

This way maintainers can decide which way to choose without breaking
the patch set.

With the feature disabled Q35 falls back to the native hot-plug.

Pros
    * no racy behavior during boot (see 110c477c2ed)
    * eject is possible - according to PCIe spec, attention button
      press should lead to power off, and then the adapter should be
      removed manually. As there is no power down state exists in QEMU,
      we cannot distinguish between an eject and a power down
      request.
    * no delay during deleting - after the actual power off software
      must wait at least 1 second before indicating about it. This case
      is quite important for users, it even has its own bug:
          https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1594168
    * no timer-based behavior - in addition to the previous example,
      the attention button has a 5-second waiting period, during which
      the operation can be canceled with a second press. While this
      looks fine for manual button control, automation will result in
      the need to queue or drop events, and the software receiving
      events in all sort of unspecified combinations of attention/power
      indicator states, which is racy and uppredictable.
    * fixes:
        * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1752465
        * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690256

Cons:
    * lose per-port control over hot-plug (can be resolved)
    * no access to possible features presented in slot capabilities
      (this is only surprise removal AFAIK)

v3:
    * drop change of _OSC to allow SHPC on hotplugged bridges
    * use 'acpi-root-pci-hotplug'
    * add migration states [Igor]
    * minor style changes

v2:
    * new ioport range for acpiphp [Gerd]
    * drop find_pci_host() [Igor]
    * explain magic numbers in _OSC [Igor]
    * drop build_q35_pci_hotplug() wrapper [Igor]
