Hmm, not really what I was looking for, devices providing these values
are only a very small subset of devices supported by vfio, so I was
thinking a new flag bit would indicate the presence of a new __u32
cap_offset field and we'd define a capability something like:

struct vfio_device_info_edid_cap {
	struct vfio_info_cap_header header;
	__u32 edid_max_x;
	__u32 edid_max_y;
};

Therefore the capability is a generic expansion and the user would look
for this specific edid capability within that.  The protocol would be
as we have today with region info where a call using the base
vfio_device_info would return success regardless of argsz, but indicate
capabilities are supported and return in argsz the size necessary to
receive them.

Another possible implementation would be via a vfio region, we already
support device specific regions via capabilities with vfio_region_info,
so we could have an edid region which could handle both input and
output using a defined structure and protocol within the region.  With
an edid blob of up to 512 bytes now, that means the vendor driver would
need to buffer writes to that section of the region until some sort of
activation, possibly using another "register" within the field to
trigger the link state and only processing the edid blob on link down
to link up transition.  So the virtual register space of the region
might look like

struct vfio_device_edid_region {
	__u32 max_x;	/* read-only */
	__u32 max_y;	/* read-only */
	__u32 link_state;	/* read-write, 0=down, 1=up */
				/* edid blob processed on 0->1 */
	__u32 blob_size;	/* read-write */
			/* max size = region_size - end of blob_size */
	__u8 blob[];
};

This is sort of the "we're defining our own hardware, so why not use a
region as virtual register space for the device rather than throw a new
ioctl at everything" approach.  Thoughts?  Thanks,

Alex

Hmm, using a virtual register space makes things more complicated for no
good reason.  This is a configuration interface for qemu, not something
we expose to the guest.  So, I'm not a fan ...

New revision of the vfio.h patch attached below, how does that look
like?  If it is ok I'll go continue with that next week (more verbose
docs, update qemu code and test, ...)

cheers,
  Gerd

Ok, I'm curious what makes it more complicated though and why it
matters that it's for QEMU vs exposed to the guest.  From the user
perspective, it's just a few pwrites rather than an ioctl.  If we use
the ioctl, I think we still need to improve the protocol, it's
confusing that the user can specify both an EDID and a link state.
Does the user need to toggle the link state when setting an EDID or
does that happen automatically?  How are link state vs EDID specified?
Simply link_state=0 and edid_size=0 is reserved as not provided?

Yes, modulo the ioctl protocol questions above.  Thanks,

As current virtual display for Intel vGPU is still emulating against real HW
pipeline with same limitations, asked display developers that whether or not
specific mode can work might still depend on current or future HW behavior.
So could we add some hints on what kind of edid mode vfio device can operate?
Some may support arbitrary modes, but some may only support standard modes.

What kind of restrictions do we have here?  Really to a fixed list of
standard modes?

Some testing (kaby lake) indicates y axis has no restrictions and x axis
gets rounded up to the next multiple of 8 pixels (32 bytes), maybe to
align scanlines with cachelines?

Oh, and btw:  Seems the resolution restriction (to 1024x768 for the
smallest vgpu type) seems to not be enforced.  Intentional?

Restriction is still with HW differences, e.g for skl/kbl with ddi wrpll
within min/max clock range which may generate any required frequency, but
I've been told for bxt there're some gaps in clock range that could be
generated.

That should be plane stride requirement I think.

hmm, what do you mean here? Not enforce to have only one mode for vgpu type?
Or can't change to other mode?

Ok, handling min/max clock (pixel clock I assume) should be easy.
Ranges are more difficuilt ...

But shouldn't the guest driver be able to cope with modes which can't be
displayed?  Monitors don't adjust edid to display driver capabilities
either, so the non-working modes are probably simply dropped from the
list of monitor modes ...

Using i915-GVTg_V5_8 type.  Description says "resolution: 1024x768".
The edid data lists 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768.

I can set modes higher than 1024x768 though.  Can create custom modes
(using xrandr --newmode), attach them to the output (xrandr --addmode)
and activate them (xrandr --mode).

cheers,
