[PATCH v4 00/14] iommufd: Add vIOMMU infrastructure (Part-2: vDEVICE)
Posted by Nicolin Chen 1 month ago
Following the previous vIOMMU series, this adds another vDEVICE structure,
representing the association from an iommufd_device to an iommufd_viommu.
This gives the whole architecture a new "v" layer:
  _______________________________________________________________________
 |                      iommufd (with vIOMMU/vDEVICE)                    |

 |      |----------------|    vIOMMU   |<---|   vDEVICE   |<------|      |
 |      |                |             |    |_____________|       |      |

 |      |    | IOAS |<---|(HWPT_PAGING)|<---| HWPT_NESTED |<--| DEVICE | |
 |      |    |______|    |_____________|    |_____________|   |________| |
 |______|________|______________|__________________|_______________|_____|
        |        |              |                  |               |
  ______v_____   |        ______v_____       ______v_____       ___v__
 |   struct   |  |  PFN  |  (paging)  |     |  (nested)  |     |struct|
 |iommu_device|  |------>|iommu_domain|<----|iommu_domain|<----|device|
 |____________|   storage|____________|     |____________|     |______|

This vDEVICE object is used to collect and store all vIOMMU-related device
information/attributes in a VM. As an initial series for vDEVICE, add only
the virt_id to the vDEVICE, which is a vIOMMU specific device ID in a VM:
e.g. vSID of ARM SMMUv3, vDeviceID of AMD IOMMU, and vID of Intel VT-d to
a Context Table. This virt_id helps IOMMU drivers to link the vID to a pID
of the device against the physical IOMMU instance. This is essential for a
vIOMMU-based invalidation, where the request contains a device's vID for a
device cache flush, e.g. ATC invalidation.

Therefore, with this vDEVICE object, support a vIOMMU-based invalidation,
by reusing IOMMUFD_CMD_HWPT_INVALIDATE for a vIOMMU object to flush cache
with a given driver data.

As for the implementation of the series, add driver support in ARM SMMUv3
for a real world use case.

This series is on Github:
https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commits/iommufd_viommu_p2-v4

For testing, try this "with-rmr" branch:

Is there any real example of a .vdevice_alloc hook, besides the 
selftests? It is not in iommufd_viommu_p2-v4-with-rmr, hence the 
question. I am trying to sketch something with this new machinery and 
less guessing would be nice. Thanks,

No, I am actually dropping that one, and moving the vdevice struct
to the private header, as there seems to be no use case:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/ZxsSYbK3gqyC84U7@Asurada-Nvidia/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/ZxsTAANTTuQzQ9HR@Asurada-Nvidia/

Do you need vdevice_alloc in the driver for your sketch?

Thanks

At the moment one of the things I am looking for is a place to add 
tsm_bind(host_bdfn, guest_bdfn, kvm_vmid). I assumed that this vdevice 
represents the guest's IOMMU attributes for a passed through device and 
naturally stores the guest_bdfn as an id (for AMD). I am still trying to 
wrap my head around these new things. Thanks,

We need that structure to store per-vIOMMU virtual ID. Hiding it
in the core only means we need to provide another vIOMMU APIs for
drivers to look up the ID, v.s. exposing it for drivers to access
directly.

Sorry I lost you here. If we need it, then there should be an example of 
.vdevice_alloc() somewhere but you say they is not one. How do you test 
this, with just selftests? :) Thanks,

A vDEVICE object will be core-allocated and core-managed, while the
vdevice_alloc is for driver-allocated purpose for which there is no
use case (at least with this series). You can check the vdev ioctl
in this version that has two pathways to allocate a vDEVICE object.

A vdev_id is used to index viommu's xarray for a driver to convert
the id to a dev pointer via a vIOMMU API. Dropping .vdevice_alloc
just means the driver only lost its direct access.

I think the point here is this has to go in stages at the present
moment the iommu drivers don't need to hook the vdevice object, so
Nicolin should take it out of this series.

I would expect CC to need to be in this path, so we should bring it
back in the CC series.

For CC I'm broadly expecting that creating the CC type vIOMMU will
call a CC implementation, and then creating a vdevice against the
vIOMMU will also call the CC implementation. The two callbacks would
ask the secure world to create the relevant VM visible objects.
