The API certainly doesn't seem like it has a cohesive feel to me. It's
not entirely clear to me how we know when we need to register a DMA MSI
cookie, or how we know that the MSI doorbell API is actually
initialized and in use by the MSI/IOMMU layer, or exactly what is the
MSI geometry telling me. Perhaps this is why the code doesn't seem to
have a good rejection mechanism for architectures that need it versus
those that don't, it's too hard to tell.
Maybe we can look at what we think the user API should be and work
backwards. For x86 we simply have a reserved range of IOVA. I'm not
entirely sure it adds to the user API to know that it's for MSI, it's
just a range of IOVAs that we cannot allocate for regular DMA. In
fact, we currently lack a mechanism for describing the IOVA space of
the IOMMU at all, so rather than focusing on a mechanism to describe a
hole in the IOVA space, we might simply want to focus on a mechanism to
describe the available IOVA space. Everybody needs that, not just
x86. That sort of sounds like a VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1_INFO_CAP_IOVA_RANGE
that perhaps looks like:
struct vfio_iommu_type1_info_cap_iova_range {
struct vfio_info_cap_header header;
u64 start;
u64 end;
};
Clearly we need to allow multiple of these in the capability chain
since the existing x86 MSI range bisects this address space.
To support this, we basically need the same information from the IOMMU
API. We already have DOMAIN_ATTR_GEOMETRY, which should give us the
base IOVA range, but we don't have anything describing the gaps. We
don't know how many sources of gaps we'll have in the future, but let's
keep it simple and assume we can look for MSI gaps and add other
possible sources of gaps in the future, it's an internal API after all.
So we can use DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_GEOMETRY to tell us about the (we assume
one) MSI range of reserved IOVA within DOMAIN_ATTR_GEOMETRY. For x86
this is fixed, for SMMU this is a zero range until someone programs it.
Now, what does a user need to know to add a reserved MSI IOVA range?
They need to know a) that it needs to be done, and b) how big to make
it (and maybe alignment requirements). Really all we need to describe
then is b) since b) implies a). So maybe that gives us another
capability chain entry:
struct vfio_iommu_type1_info_cap_msi_resv {
struct vfio_info_cap_header header;
u64 size;
u64 alignment;
};
It doesn't seem like we need to waste a flag bit on
vfio_iommu_type1_info.flags for this since the existence of this
capability would imply that VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA supports an MSI_RESV
flag.
So what do we need from the kernel infrastructure to make that happen?
Well, we need a) and b) above, and again b) can imply a), so if the
IOMMU API provided a DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_RESV, providing the same
size/alignment, then we're nearly there. Then we just need a way to
set that range, which I'd probably try to plumb through the IOMMU API
rather than pulling in separate doorbell APIs and DMA cookie APIs. If
it's going to pull together all those different things, let's at least
only do that in one place so we can expose a consistent API through the
IOMMU API. Obviously once a range is set, DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_RESV should
report that range, so if the user were to look at the type1 info
capability chain again, the available IOVA ranges would reflect the now
reserved range.
Maybe that's more than you're asking for, but that's the approach I
would take to solidify the API. Thanks,
Alex
