[RFC PATCH v2 0/5] Add virtio-iommu driver

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

 



Implement the virtio-iommu driver following version 0.5 of the
specification [1]. Previous version of this code was sent back in April
[2], implementing the first public RFC. Since then there has been lots of
progress and discussion on the specification side, and I think the driver
is in a good shape now.

The reason patches 1-3 are only RFC is that I'm waiting on feedback from
the Virtio TC to reserve a device ID.

List of changes since previous RFC:
* Add per-endpoint probe request, for hardware MSI and reserved regions.
* Add a virtqueue for the device to report translation faults. Only
  non-recoverable ones at the moment.
* Removed the iommu_map_sg specialization for now, because none of the
  device drivers I use for testing (virtio, ixgbe and internal DMA
  engines) seem to use map_sg. This kind of feature is a lot more
  interesting when accompanied by benchmark numbers, and can be added back
  during future optimization work.
* Many fixes and cleanup

The driver works out of the box on DT-based systems, but ACPI support
still needs to be tested and discussed. In the specification I proposed
IORT tables as a nice candidate for describing the virtual topology.
Patches 4 and 5 propose small changes to the IORT driver for
instantiating a paravirtualized IOMMU. The IORT node is described in the
specification [1]. x86 support will also require some hacks since the
driver is based on the IOMMU DMA ops, that x86 doesn't use.

Eric's latest QEMU device [3] works with v0.4. For the moment you can use
the kvmtool device [4] to test v0.5 on arm64, and inject arbitrary fault
with the debug tool. The driver can also be pulled from my Linux tree [5].
