[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 0/7] vfio: Prepare for SPAPR

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

Yet another try with VFIO on SPAPR (server PPC64).

After a previous try, the series was split into few smaller ones,
first one was "spapr_pci: Prepare for VFIO" which prepares spapr_pci.
This one is the second one and prepares vfio. Third one will be posted
after series 1 and 2 meet in some external tree.

Changelog is in individual patches.

Please comment. Thanks!

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 1/7] memory: Sanity check that no listeners remain on a destroyed AddressSpace

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

At the moment, most AddressSpace objects last as long as the guest system
in practice, but that could well change in future.  In addition, for VFIO
we will be introducing some private per-AdressSpace information, which must
be disposed of before the AddressSpace itself is destroyed.

To reduce the chances of subtle bugs in this area, this patch adds
asssertions to ensure that when an AddressSpace is destroyed, there are no
remaining MemoryListeners using that AS as a filter.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 3/7] vfio: Fix 128 bit handling

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

Upcoming VFIO on SPAPR PPC64 support will initialize the IOMMU
memory region with UINT64_MAX (2^64 bytes) size so int128_get64()
will assert.

The patch takes care of this check. The existing type1 IOMMU code
is not expected to map all 64 bits of RAM so the patch does not
touch that part.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 5/7] vfio: Introduce VFIO address spaces

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

The only model so far supported for VFIO passthrough devices is the model
usually used on x86, where all of the guest's RAM is mapped into the
(host) IOMMU and there is no IOMMU visible in the guest.

This patch begins to relax this model, introducing the notion of a
VFIOAddressSpace.  This represents a logical DMA address space which will
be visible to one or more VFIO devices by appropriate mapping in the (host)
IOMMU.  Thus the currently global list of containers becomes local to
a VFIOAddressSpace, and we verify that we don't attempt to add a VFIO
group to multiple address spaces.

For now, only one VFIOAddressSpace is created and used, corresponding to
main system memory, that will change in future patches.

Changes:
v6:
* vfio_address_spaces allocation moved to further patch as it is static,
not used by this patch and therefore used to generate "defined but not

v4:
* removed redundant checks and asserts
* fixed some return error codes

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 6/7] vfio: Create VFIOAddressSpace objects as needed

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

So far, VFIO has a notion of different logical DMA address spaces, but
only ever uses one (system memory).  This patch extends this, creating
new VFIOAddressSpace objects as necessary, according to the AddressSpace
reported by the PCI subsystem for this device's DMAs.

This isn't enough yet to support guest side IOMMUs with VFIO, but it does
mean we could now support VFIO devices on, for example, a guest side PCI
host bridge which maps system memory at somewhere other than 0 in PCI
space.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 7/7] vfio: Add guest side IOMMU support

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

This patch uses the new IOMMU notifiers to allow VFIO pass through devices
to work with guest side IOMMUs, as long as the host-side VFIO iommu has
sufficient capability and granularity to match the guest side. This works
by tracking all map and unmap operations on the guest IOMMU using the
notifiers, and mirroring them into VFIO.

There are a number of FIXMEs, and the scheme involves rather more notifier
structures than I'd like, but it should make for a reasonable proof of
concept.

Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>

---
Changes:
v6:
* changed comments about FIXMEs

v4:
* fixed list objects naming
* vfio_listener_region_add() reworked to call memory_region_ref() from one
place only, it is also easier to review the changes
* fixes boundary check not to fail on sections == 2^64 bytes,
the "vfio: Fix debug output for int128 values" patch is required;
this obsoletes the "[PATCH v3 0/3] vfio: fixes for better support
for 128 bit memory section sizes" patch proposal

Don't we already have a DMA address space in the PCI bus? We could just 
use that one instead, no?

I do not know about x86, but for spapr that VFIOAddressSpace is nothing but
wrapper around an AddressSpace from the SPAPR PHB.

So why do we need that wrapper? Can't we just use the PHB's 
AddressSpace? There's a good chance I'm not grasping something here :).

We cannot attach VFIO containers (aka "groups" or "PEs" for spapr) to
AddressSpace, there is nothing like that in AddressSpace/MemoryRegion API
as this container thing is local to VFIO.

Ok, please explain how this AddressSpace is different from the VFIO 
device's parent's IOMMU DMA AddressSpace and why we need it.

Nothing special. We attach group to address space by trying to add a group
to every container in that address space. If it fails, we create a new
container, put new group into it and attach container to the VFIO address
space. The point here is we attach group to address space.

We could still have a global containers list and when adding a group, loop
through the global list of containers and look at the AS they are attached
to but the logical structure AS->container->group->device remains the same.

Honestly, I would never come up with the patch like this myself (I am too
stupid for that :) ) but as it is here - I find it quite logical.

I honestly still have no idea what all of this is doing and why we can't 
model it with PCI buses' IOMMU ASs. Alex, do you grasp it?

It's a while since I looked at this, so I may be forgetting.

But, I think it's simply a place to store the VFIO-specific
per-address-space information.
