[PATCH v7 00/27] vfio: Adopt iommufd
Posted by Zhenzhong Duan 5 months, 1 week ago
Hi,

Thanks all for giving guides and comments on previous series, this is
the remaining part of the iommufd support.

Besides suggested changes in v6, I'd like to highlight two changes
for final review:
1. Instantiate can_be_deleted callback to fix race where iommufd object
   can be deleted before vfio device
2. After careful re-thinking, I'd like to follow Nicolin's suggestion in v5,
   remove is_ioas check which indeed looks heavy just for tracepoint.
   In fact we can get corresponding info by looking over trace context.

PATCH 1: Introduce iommufd object
PATCH 2-9: add IOMMUFD container and cdev support
PATCH 10-17: fd passing for cdev and linking to IOMMUFD
PATCH 18: make VFIOContainerBase parameter const
PATCH 19-21: Compile out for IOMMUFD for arm, s390x and x86
PATCH 22-26: vfio device init code cleanup
PATCH 27: add iommufd doc


We have done wide test with different combinations, e.g:
- PCI device were tested
- FD passing and hot reset with some trick.
- device hotplug test with legacy and iommufd backends
- with or without vIOMMU for legacy and iommufd backends
- divices linked to different iommufds
- VFIO migration with a E800 net card(no dirty sync support) passthrough
- platform, ccw and ap were only compile-tested due to environment limit
- test mdev pass through with mtty and mix with real device and different BE
- test iommufd object hotplug/unplug and mix with vfio device plug/unplug

Given some iommufd kernel limitations, the iommufd backend is
not yet fully on par with the legacy backend w.r.t. features like:
- p2p mappings (you will see related error traces)
- dirty page sync
- and etc.


qemu code: https://github.com/yiliu1765/qemu/commits/zhenzhong/iommufd_cdev_v7
Based on vfio-next, commit id: c487fb8a50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below are some background and graph about the design:

With the introduction of iommufd, the Linux kernel provides a generic
interface for userspace drivers to propagate their DMA mappings to kernel
for assigned devices. This series does the porting of the VFIO devices
onto the /dev/iommu uapi and let it coexist with the legacy implementation.

At QEMU level, interactions with the /dev/iommu are abstracted by a new
iommufd object (compiled in with the CONFIG_IOMMUFD option).

Any QEMU device (e.g. vfio device) wishing to use /dev/iommu must be
linked with an iommufd object. In this series, the vfio-pci device is
granted with such capability (other VFIO devices are not yet ready):

It gets a new optional parameter named iommufd which allows to pass
an iommufd object:

    -object iommufd,id=iommufd0
    -device vfio-pci,host=0000:02:00.0,iommufd=iommufd0

Note the /dev/iommu and vfio cdev can be externally opened by a
management layer. In such a case the fd is passed:

    -object iommufd,id=iommufd0,fd=22
    -device vfio-pci,iommufd=iommufd0,fd=23

If the fd parameter is not passed, the fd is opened by QEMU.
See https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg937155.html
for detailed discuss on this requirement.

If no iommufd option is passed to the vfio-pci device, iommufd is not
used and the end-user gets the behavior based on the legacy vfio iommu
interfaces:

    -device vfio-pci,host=0000:02:00.0

While the legacy kernel interface is group-centric, the new iommufd
interface is device-centric, relying on device fd and iommufd.

To support both interfaces in the QEMU VFIO device we reworked the vfio
container abstraction so that the generic VFIO code can use either
backend.

The VFIOContainer object becomes a base object derived into
a) the legacy VFIO container and
b) the new iommufd based container.

The base object implements generic code such as code related to
memory_listener and address space management whereas the derived
objects implement callbacks specific to either BE, legacy and
iommufd. Indeed each backend has its own way to setup secure context
and dma management interface. The below diagram shows how it looks
like with both BEs.

[Secure Context setup]
- iommufd BE: uses device fd and iommufd to setup secure context
              (bind_iommufd, attach_ioas)
- vfio legacy BE: uses group fd and container fd to setup secure context
                  (set_container, set_iommu)
[Device access]
- iommufd BE: device fd is opened through /dev/vfio/devices/vfioX
- vfio legacy BE: device fd is retrieved from group fd ioctl
[DMA Mapping flow]
1. VFIOAddressSpace receives MemoryRegion add/del via MemoryListener
2. VFIO populates DMA map/unmap via the container BEs
   *) iommufd BE: uses iommufd
   *) vfio legacy BE: uses container fd

Just as a quick update: I intend to follow-up with this (alongside my other
debt) when I am back from vacation ~2weeks from now. The one thing needed before
dirty tracking enabling is a userspace autodomains that's equivalent to the kernel.

I don't know what to do about mdevs tbh, considering there's no hw domain going
on it's just telling iommufd that 'hey I am accessing these pages' (IIUC I could
be missing something). Right now it just falls back to IOAS attach instead of
hwpt-id attach if it all fails;

Here's a partial snip below that is trying to match kernel
iommufd_device_auto_get_domain(). It's not that far from Zhenzhong v5
implementation, except that we handle the -EINVAL from the attach to allocate a
new hwpt for said device, and if that fails then just bail out like the kernel.

 static int iommufd_cdev_attach_container(VFIODevice *vbasedev,
                                          VFIOIOMMUFDContainer *container,
                                          Error **errp)

I've tested with an aarch64-softmmu build using both legacy VFIO
passthrough and IOMMUFD+cdev, although this might be similar to
what Eric tested.

Also, tried rebasing our nesting changes on top and ran some
2-stage translation sanity using this branch:
https://github.com/nicolinc/qemu/tree/wip/iommufd_nesting-11212023-cdev-v7
(Note that the nesting branch is WIP with no stability guarantee)

I'll do more tests with vSVA cases in the next days, yet FWIW:

The series is pushed on top of vfio-next in the vfio-8.2 tree :

   https://github.com/legoater/qemu/commits/vfio-8.2

with a little extra to deal with a PPC build failure.

Thanks Cédric. That's strange I didn't see this failure on my env
which has CONFIG_VFIO_PCI enabled by default for PPC.

The compile issue shows with --without-default-devices.

VFIO is always selected (see ppc/Kconfig) but VFIO_PCI is not when
--without-default-devices is used. Hence the compile failure because
of the common vfio-pci routines exported in pci.c.

Ideally, we should use an 'imply VFIO' in ppc/Kconfig because VFIO
is not a required subsystem for the pseries machine. If that was
the case, we wouldn't compile the VFIO EEH hooks defined in
hw/ppc/spapr_pci_vfio.c :

   bool spapr_phb_eeh_available(SpaprPhbState *sphb);
   int spapr_phb_vfio_eeh_set_option(SpaprPhbState *sphb,
                                     unsigned int addr, int option);
   int spapr_phb_vfio_eeh_get_state(SpaprPhbState *sphb, int *state);
   int spapr_phb_vfio_eeh_reset(SpaprPhbState *sphb, int option);
   int spapr_phb_vfio_eeh_configure(SpaprPhbState *sphb);
   void spapr_phb_vfio_reset(DeviceState *qdev);

It is not that simple to fix. The simpler approach is to force compile
of VFIO PCI in ppc/Kconfig with a 'select VFIO_PCI'. we should improve
that.

Thanks,

C.

Indeed, I reproduced same after some try out.
Maybe need a stub file for those functions.

Yes, not a blocking issue after your fix. I can have a try when I'm idle.
