[PATCH] vfio: container: Fix missing allocation of VFIOSpaprContainer
Posted by Shivaprasad G Bhat 6 months, 2 weeks ago
The commit 6ad359ec29 "(vfio/spapr: Move prereg_listener into
spapr container)" began to use the newly introduced VFIOSpaprContainer
structure.

After several refactors, today the container_of(container,
VFIOSpaprContainer, ABC) is used when VFIOSpaprContainer is actually
not allocated. On PPC64 systems, this dereference is leading to corruption
showing up as glibc malloc assertion during guest start when using vfio.

Patch adds the missing allocation while also making the structure movement
to vfio common header file.

Could you please give vfio-9.1 a try ? Thanks,

Could you please describe the host/guest OS, hypervisor, processor
and adapter ?

Great. You should report there too and probably send a PR to Alex to
contribute your changes to the vfio tests.

> Hypervisor : KVM on PowerVM & 

OK. So, this is using the newer nested v2 implementation. With the
legacy XICS IRQ controller or XIVE ? in-kernel device or emulated ?

> also tried without KVM using TCG

Ah nice. Good to know that real HW passthrough works in TCG also.

Is there a requirement on the kernel version ? Would an older debian
6.1 work for instance ?

Nice. XIVE I suppose. What about TCG ?

Thanks a lot,

Could you clarify which tree you are referring to ? I see his tree

https://github.com/awilliam/tests is bit old and updated recently, however

I have been using those tests for my unit testing.

Yes. However, this was working for userspace before too with limitations

like DMA windows were being borrowed, and no customization

of window size etc.

Emulated XIVE.

This went through cycles of breakage and fixes. It worked on 5.18(not sure

about older ones before that), and broke afterwards. Recently fixed

and working from 6.4, broken on 6.7. Fixed and working in 6.8

onwards now.

Good. It should be fixed in the next debian.

and a TCG guest under an intel host ? This used to work.

We should do our best to avoid any direct use of ppc related attributes
in the common VFIO code. This comment also applies to VFIO_SPAPR_TCE*
which are still there because the clean up is not finished. So, this
proposal will have to be reworked.

The first step is to finish the QOMification of VFIOContainer, so
that the VFIOContainer instance is created in vfio_connect_container()
with :

     container = qdev_new(iommu_type_name);

This means reworking this part (and vfio_set_iommu()) :

     ...
     container = g_malloc0(sizeof(*container));
     container->fd = fd;
     bcontainer = &container->bcontainer;

     if (!vfio_set_iommu(container, group->fd, space, errp)) {
         goto free_container_exit;
     }
     ...

VFIOSpaprContainer can then implement its own .init_instance() handler
to allocate/initialize attributes required by the pseries machines.

While doing this, please try to reduce the use of ->iommu_type which
is a design shortcut. I would like to completely remove it at some
point.

Thanks,

C.

This requires the VFIOContainer to be a DeviceState object.

The existing base class TYPE_VFIO_IOMMU is an InterfaceClass.

I attempted VFIOContainer object declaration with TYPE_VFIO_IOMMU,

like

OBJECT_DECLARE_SIMPLE_TYPE(VFIOContainer, VFIO_IOMMU_LEGACY)

With my above changes,

I see the instance_init() is not supported for the InterfaceClass with the

checks from below

     qom/object: add some interface asserts

Did you suggest me something else?

Yes. We need an Object, hence my remark on "QOMification of VFIOContainer".
VFIOContainerBase needs to be reworked.

Reviewed-by: Zhenzhong Duan <Zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>

An alternative way is to introduce a VFIOIOMMUClass::create or
VFIOIOMMUClass::get_container_size.
But that needs some refactor to vfio_connect_container().

Thanks
