Hi Eric,
I have tested these patches in a VFIO PCI scenario (using the ITS
emulation) on a NXP LS2080 board. It worked fine with one e1000 card
assigned to the guest. However, when I tried to assign two cards to the
guest I got a crash. I narrowed down the problem to this code:
drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c, vfio_iommu_type1_attach_group function
/*
* Try to match an existing compatible domain. We don't want to
* preclude an IOMMU driver supporting multiple bus_types and being
* able to include different bus_types in the same IOMMU domain, so
* we test whether the domains use the same iommu_ops rather than
* testing if they're on the same bus_type.
*/
list_for_each_entry(d, &iommu->domain_list, next) {
if (d->domain->ops == domain->domain->ops &&
d->prot == domain->prot) {
iommu_detach_group(domain->domain, iommu_group);
if (!iommu_attach_group(d->domain, iommu_group)) {
list_add(&group->next, &d->group_list);
iommu_domain_free(domain->domain);
kfree(domain);
mutex_unlock(&iommu->lock);
return 0;
}
ret = iommu_attach_group(domain->domain, iommu_group);
if (ret)
goto out_domain;
}
}
The iommu_domain_free function eventually calls iommu_put_dma_cookie
which calls put_iova_domain. This function (put_iova_domain) tries to
acquire some spinlocks which were not yet initialized. They will be
initialized later when the first DMA mapping will be performed. Because
the spinlock was not yet initialized, it crashes when attempting to
acquire it.
With the following fix I was able to successfully assign two cards to
the guest:
diff --git a/drivers/iommu/iova.c b/drivers/iommu/iova.c
index ba764a0..b43e34f 100644
--- a/drivers/iommu/iova.c
+++ b/drivers/iommu/iova.c
@@ -457,6 +457,9 @@ void put_iova_domain(struct iova_domain *iovad)
struct rb_node *node;
unsigned long flags;
+ if (!iovad->start_pfn)
+ return;
+
free_iova_rcaches(iovad);
spin_lock_irqsave(&iovad->iova_rbtree_lock, flags);
node = rb_first(&iovad->rbroot);
However, I am not sure if this is the right fix.
Thanks,
Diana
