[RFC PATCH 00/12] s390: virtio: support protected virtualization

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

 



Enhanced virtualization protection technology may require the use of
bounce buffers for I/O. While support for this was built into the virtio
core,  virtio-ccw wasn't changed accordingly.

Thus what needs to be done to bring virtio-ccw up to speed with respect
to this is:
* use some 'new' common virtio stuff
* make sure that virtio-ccw specific stuff uses shared memory when
  talking to the hypervisor (except communication blocks like ORB, these
  are handled by the hypervisor)
* make sure the DMA API does what is necessary to talk through shared
  memory if we are a protected virtualization guest.
* make sure the common IO layer plays along as well (airqs, sense).

The series is structured in incremental fashion: some of the changes are
overridden by following patches. The main reason why is that this is how I
developed. But I think it ain't bad for the didactic and we are a bit more
flexible with regards to throwing out some of the stuff in the end.

Important notes:

* This is an early (WIP) RFC that does not add any function to the
  kernel at his stage, as the ultravisor interactions are left out.
  The purpose is getting some early feedback ASAP.

* In future these patches will depend on some code interacting with the
  ultravisor (WIP by Vasily and Janosch).

* The s390 names are by no means final, and are not properly explained. Should
  not hamper understanding too much. If it does please ask.

* The existing naming in the common infrastructure (kernel internal
  interfaces) is pretty much based on the AMD SEV terminology. Thus the
  names aren't always perfect. There might be merit to changing these
  names to more abstract ones. I did not put much thought into that at
  the current stage.


Testing:

Please use iommu_platform=on for any virtio devices you are going
to test this code with (so virtio actually uses the DMA API).

Looking forward to your review or any other type of input.
