[PATCH v4 00/11] PCI devices passthrough on Arm, part 3
Posted by Oleksandr Andrushchenko 2 years, 4 months ago

Hi, all!

This patch series is focusing on vPCI and adds support for non-identity
PCI BAR mappings which is required while passing through a PCI device to
a guest. The highlights are:

- Add relevant vpci register handlers when assigning PCI device to a domain
  and remove those when de-assigning. This allows having different
  handlers for different domains, e.g. hwdom and other guests.

- Emulate guest BAR register values based on physical BAR values.
  This allows creating a guest view of the registers and emulates
  size and properties probe as it is done during PCI device enumeration by
  the guest.

- Instead of handling a single range set, that contains all the memory
  regions of all the BARs and ROM, have them per BAR.

- Take into account guest's BAR view and program its p2m accordingly:
  gfn is guest's view of the BAR and mfn is the physical BAR value as set
  up by the host bridge in the hardware domain.
  This way hardware doamin sees physical BAR values and guest sees
  emulated ones.

The series also adds support for virtual PCI bus topology for guests:
 - We emulate a single host bridge for the guest, so segment is always 0.
 - The implementation is limited to 32 devices which are allowed on
   a single PCI bus.
 - The virtual bus number is set to 0, so virtual devices are seen
   as embedded endpoints behind the root complex.

The series was also tested on:
 - x86 PVH Dom0 and doesn't break it.
 - x86 HVM with PCI passthrough to DomU and doesn't break it.

Thank you,
Oleksandr

If I'm not mistaken by the end of this series a guest can access a
device handed to it. I couldn't find anything dealing with the
uses of vpci_{read,write}_hw() and vpci_hw_{read,write}*() to cover
config registers not covered by registered handlers. IMO this should
happen before patch 5: Before any handlers get registered the view a
guest would have would be all ones no matter which register it
accesses. Handler registration would then "punch holes" into this
"curtain", as opposed to Dom0, where handler registration hides
previously visible raw hardware registers.

This is "by design" now which is not good, I know. We only have some
register handlers set, but the rest of the configuration space is
still visible raw to the guest without restrictions. Not letting the
guest access those and returning all ones will render the device
unusable for the guest as it does need access to all its configuration
space. This means that we would need to emulate every possible
register for the guest which seems to be out of the scope of this series.

But definitely you are right that this needs to be solved somehow.

FWIW, I've also raised the same concern in a different thread:

https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/YYD7VmDGKJRkid4a@Air-de-Roger/

It seems like this is future work, but unless such a model is
implemented vPCI cannot be used for guest passthrough.

I'm fine with doing it in a separate series, but needs to be kept in
mind.

I'm afraid 'Tech Preview' requires the feature to be functionally
complete, which I won't consider the case for vPCI unless the above is
solved. I think we could only label this as 'Experimental' until the
remaining work is done, but the limitations would need to be clearly
noted, as it would be completely insecure.

Thanks, Roger.

Not just this - it also needs to be recorded in this cover letter and
imo also in a comment in the sources somewhere. Or else the question

I am fine adding such a comment, but am not sure where to put it.
What would be your best bet if you were to look for this information?
I think we can put that in xen/drivers/vpci/vpci.c at the top, right
after the license in the same comment block.

I would put this e.g. next to the first call to vpci_read_hw() from
vpci_read(), making the wording general enough to express that this
