[PATCH v4 0/7] SMMU handling for PCIe Passthrough on ARM
Posted by Stewart Hildebrand 11 months ago
This series introduces SMMU handling for PCIe passthrough on ARM. These patches
are independent from (and don't depend on) the vPCI reference counting/locking
work in progress, and should be able to be upstreamed independently.

v3->v4:
* split a change from ("xen/arm: Move is_protected flag to struct device") into
  a new separate patch
* see individual patches for further details

v2->v3:
* drop "pci/arm: Use iommu_add_dt_pci_device()"
* drop "RFC: pci/arm: don't do iommu call for phantom functions"
* move invocation of sideband ID mapping function to add_device()
  platform_ops/iommu_ops hook

v1->v2:
* phantom device handling
* shuffle around iommu_add_dt_pci_device()

Can you clarify how this code was tested? Does this require code not yet 
upstreamed?

I'm testing the series standalone (+ config changes) by using a PCI device in dom0, and also in combination with the vPCI series [3] [4] for passthrough to a domU.


Here are some more details on the test cases I'm using.


1. Using the PCI device in dom0 with the pci-passthrough=yes arg. In this case a couple of additional config changes [1] [2] are needed to select CONFIG_HAS_PCI=y, CONFIG_HAS_VPCI=y, and make has_vpci() return true. Aside from this series itself and the config changes, nothing else not-yet-upstreamed is required for this test case. It is on my TODO list to upstream these config changes, which I think will be useful on their own, not necessarily as part of any other series.

Actually, your question prompted me to look at my test cases a bit more carefully, and I discovered a case that v4 of this series doesn't handle right. In order for the PCI device to be usable in dom0, it should be assigned by default to dom0/hardware domain during PHYSDEVOP_pci_device_add. But v4 of this series doesn't assign it by default to dom0/hardware domain. I initially missed this because I happened to assign the stream ID of the PCI device to dom0 by the iommus property.

In other words, I initially tested with this:

&pcie {
    iommus = <&smmu 0x4d0>;
    iommu-map = <0x0 &smmu 0x4d0 0x10000>;
    iommu-map-mask = <0x0>;
};

But I should be testing with this (i.e. omitting the iommus property):

&pcie {
    iommu-map = <0x0 &smmu 0x4d0 0x10000>;
    iommu-map-mask = <0x0>;
};

Omitting iommus currently breaks using a PCI device in dom0 in v4. I'll fix this in v5.


2. To test the phantom bits, since I don't have a phantom device readily available, I use the pci-phantom arg and a carefully constructed iommu-map property. The PCI device's stream ID is actually 0x4d0, but I put 0x4ce in the iommu-map to make it appear as if it's one of the phantom functions generating the DMA traffic.

pci-phantom=01:00,1

&pcie {
    /* phantom test */
    iommu-map = <0x0 &smmu 0x4ce 0x10000>;
    iommu-map-mask = <0x7>;
};


3. Passthrough to a domU. In this case the vPCI series is needed [3], and an MSI series not yet submitted to the list [4] (or another way to hack/assign the IRQ to the domU), in addition to the 2 config changes [1] [2]. The procedure is described at [5].

Thanks that's helpful! One comment about the first test case.

I find a bit confusing that the IOMMU support for dom0 is gated behind 
'pci-passthrough'. I was expecting that the iommu would also be properly 
configured for PCI if we using 'iommu=yes'.

As per my understanding Xen can configure the iommus for PCI device without "pci-passthrough” enabled
if we follow below path:

   1) PCI host bridge is already enumerated and powered on in firmware before Xen boot
   2) PCI devices are scanned in Xen.
       (https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/bmarquis/xen-arm-poc/-/commit/bce463e1588a45e1bfdf59fc0d5f88b16604e439)
   3) After scanning the PCI devices add PCI devices to iommu ( iommu_add_device() )

If PCI host bridge is not enumerated then we need "pci-passthrough” enabled to allow Linux to do
enumeration and to inform Xen via PHYSDEVOP_pci_device_add hyper call to add PCI devices in Xen
This is implemented as part of PCI passthrough feature.

Rahul

Right, but selecting "pci-passthrough" to be able to use the IOMMU in 
dom0 is confusing. We already support PCI in dom0 and adding the support 
(IOMMU + PCI) has no relation with assigning a device to the guest. IOW 
one may want to use IOMMU in dom0 without assigning devices to the guest.

I think part of the code gated by "pci-passthrough" should also be 
available when the IOMMU is enabled. This would allow users to use IOMMU 
+ PCI in dom0 without any extra patches and/or command line option.
