Yeah, that's what we are doing in this series.

Yeah. Instead of introducing /dev/vhost-mdev char device, do
vhost ioctls on VFIO device fd directly. That's what we did
in RFC v3.

If my understanding is correct, this means we need to introduce
a new VFIO device driver to replace the existing vfio-mdev driver
in our case. Below is a quick draft just to show my understanding:

#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/device.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/vfio.h>

#include "../../vhost/vhost.h"

	if (!try_module_get(THIS_MODULE))
		return -ENODEV;

	vhost_dev_init(...);

	return 0;
}

	module_put(THIS_MODULE);
}

					   unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
	struct mdev_device *mdev = device_data;
	struct mdev_parent *parent = mdev->parent;

	/*
	 * Use vhost ioctls.
	 *
	 * We will have a different parent_ops design.
	 * And potentially, we can share the same parent_ops
	 * with virtio_mdev.
	 */
	switch (cmd) {
	case VHOST_GET_FEATURES:
		parent->ops->get_features(mdev, ...);
		break;
	/* ... */
	}

	return 0;
}

}

}

	.mmap		= vfio_vhost_mdev_mmap,
};

static int vfio_vhost_mdev_probe(struct device *dev)
{
	struct mdev_device *mdev = to_mdev_device(dev);

	/* ... */
	return vfio_add_group_dev(dev, &vfio_vhost_mdev_dev_ops, mdev);
}

static void vfio_vhost_mdev_remove(struct device *dev)
{
	/* ... */
	vfio_del_group_dev(dev);
}

static struct mdev_driver vfio_vhost_mdev_driver = {
	.name	= "vfio_vhost_mdev",
	.probe	= vfio_vhost_mdev_probe,
	.remove	= vfio_vhost_mdev_remove,
};

static int __init vfio_vhost_mdev_init(void)
{
	return mdev_register_driver(&vfio_vhost_mdev_driver, THIS_MODULE);
}
module_init(vfio_vhost_mdev_init)

One benefit is that we can avoid doing vhost ioctls on
VFIO device fd.

I think device-api could be a choice.

The ops matching helper is just to check whether a given
vfio-device is based on a mdev device.

As the above draft shows, this requires introducing a new
VFIO device driver. I think Alex's opinion matters here.

Yes, something like this basically.

Yes, but any benefit from doing this?

It does seem a bit more modular, but it's certainly not a big deal.
