[RFC v3 00/25] intel_iommu: expose Shared Virtual Addressing to VMs

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

 



Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA), a.k.a, Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) on
Intel platforms allows address space sharing between device DMA and
applications. SVA can reduce programming complexity and enhance security.

This QEMU series is intended to expose SVA usage to VMs. i.e. Sharing
guest application address space with passthru devices. This is called
vSVA in this series. The whole vSVA enabling requires QEMU/VFIO/IOMMU
changes. For IOMMU and VFIO changes, they are in separate series (listed
in the "Related series").

The high-level architecture for SVA virtualization is as below, the key
design of vSVA support is to utilize the dual-stage IOMMU translation (
also known as IOMMU nesting translation) capability in host IOMMU.

    .-------------.  .---------------------------.
    |   vIOMMU    |  | Guest process CR3, FL only|
    |             |  '---------------------------'
    .----------------/
    | PASID Entry |--- PASID cache flush -
    '-------------'                       |
    |             |                       V
    |             |                CR3 in GPA
    '-------------'

    .-------------.  .----------------------.
    |   pIOMMU    |  | Bind FL for GVA-GPA  |
    |             |  '----------------------'
    .----------------/  |
    | PASID Entry |     V (Nested xlate)
    '----------------\.------------------------------.
    |             |   |SL for GPA-HPA, default domain|
    |             |   '------------------------------'
    '-------------'
Where:
 - FL = First level/stage one page tables
 - SL = Second level/stage two page tables

The complete vSVA kernel upstream patches are divided into three phases:
    1. Common APIs and PCI device direct assignment
    2. IOMMU-backed Mediated Device assignment
    3. Page Request Services (PRS) support

This QEMU RFC patchset is aiming for the phase 1 and phase 2, and works
together with the VT-d driver[1] changes and VFIO changes[2].

There are roughly four parts:
 1. Modify pci_setup_iommu() to set PCIIOMMUOps instead of setup PCIIOMMUFunc
 2. Introduce DualStageIOMMUObject as abstract of host IOMMU. It provides
    method for vIOMMU emulators to communicate with host IOMMU. e.g. propagate
    guest page table binding to host IOMMU to setup dual-stage DMA translation
    in host IOMMU and flush iommu iotlb.
 3. Introduce IOMMUContext as abstract of vIOMMU. It provides operations for
    VFIO to communicate with vIOMMU emulators. e.g. let vIOMMU emulators be
    aware of host IOMMU's dual-stage translation capability by registering
    DualStageIOMMUObject instances to vIOMMU emulators.
 4. Setup dual-stage IOMMU translation for Intel vIOMMU. Includes 
    - Check IOMMU uAPI version compatibility and hardware compatibility which
      is preparation for setting up dual-stage DMA translation in host IOMMU.
    - Propagate guest PASID allocation and free request to host.
    - Propagate guest page table binding to host to setup dual-stage IOMMU DMA
      translation in host IOMMU.
    - Propagate guest IOMMU cache invalidation to host to ensure iotlb
      correctness.

Changelog:
	- RFC v2 -> v3:
	  a) Introduce DualStageIOMMUObject to abstract the host IOMMU programming
	  capability. e.g. request PASID from host, setup IOMMU nesting translation
	  on host IOMMU. The pasid_alloc/bind_guest_page_table/iommu_cache_flush
	  operations are moved to be DualStageIOMMUOps. Thus, DualStageIOMMUObject
	  is an abstract layer which provides QEMU vIOMMU emulators with an explicit
	  method to program host IOMMU.
	  b) Compared with RFC v2, the IOMMUContext has also been updated. It is
	  modified to provide an abstract for vIOMMU emulators. It provides the
	  method for pass-through modules (like VFIO) to communicate with host IOMMU.
	  e.g. tell vIOMMU emulators about the IOMMU nesting capability on host side
	  and report the host IOMMU DMA translation faults to vIOMMU emulators.
	  RFC v2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg198556.html

	- RFC v1 -> v2:
	  Introduce IOMMUContext to abstract the connection between VFIO
	  and vIOMMU emulators, which is a replacement of the PCIPASIDOps
	  in RFC v1. Modify x-scalable-mode to be string option instead of
	  adding a new option as RFC v1 did. Refined the pasid cache management
	  and addressed the TODOs mentioned in RFC v1. 
	  RFC v1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11033657/
