[RFC 00/13] SMMUv3 Nested Stage Setup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series allows a virtualizer to program the nested stage mode.
This is useful when both the host and the guest are exposed with
an SMMUv3 and a PCI device is assigned to the guest using VFIO.

In this mode, the physical IOMMU must be programmed to translate
the two stages: the one set up by the guest (IOVA -> GPA) and the
one set up by the host VFIO driver as part of the assignment process
(GPA -> HPA).

On Intel, this is traditionnaly achieved by combining the 2 stages
into a single physical stage. However this relies on the capability
to trap on each guest translation structure update. This is possible
by using the VTD Caching Mode. Unfortunately the ARM SMMUv3 does
not offer a similar mechanism.

However, the ARM SMMUv3 architecture supports 2 physical stages! Those
were devised exactly with that use case in mind. Assuming the HW
implements both stages (optional), the guest now can use stage 1
while the host uses stage 2.

This assumes the virtualizer has means to propagate guest settings
to the host SMMUv3 driver. This series brings this VFIO/IOMMU
infrastructure.  Those services are:
- bind the guest stage 1 configuration to the stream table entry
- propagate guest TLB invalidations
- bind MSI IOVAs

This series largely reuses the infrastructure devised for SVA/SVM
and patches submitted by Jacob and Liu in [1] and [2] and
Jean-Philippe [3], with some generalizations to adapt to this use case.

At the moment, this series does not implement fault reporting to
the guest. This will be added later on.

Best Regards

Eric

This was tested on Qualcomm HW featuring SMMUv3 and with adapted QEMU
vSMMUv3.
