Hi, Alex,
When working on an updated version Yi and I found an design open
which needs your guidance.
In concept nested translation can be incarnated as one GPA->HPA page
table and multiple GVA->GPA page tables per VM. It means one container
is sufficient to include all SVA-capable devices assigned to the same guest,
as there is just one iova space (GPA->HPA) to be managed by vfio iommu
map/unmap api. GVA->GPA page tables are bound through the new api
introduced in this patch. It is different from legacy shadow translation
which merges GIOVA->GPA->HPA into GIOVA->HPA thus each device requires
its own iova space and must be in a separate container.
However supporting multiple SVA-capable devices in one container
imposes one challenge. Now the bind_guest_pgtbl is implemented as
iommu type1 api. From the definition of iommu type 1 any operation
should be applied to all devices within the same container, just like
dma map/unmap. However this philosophy is incorrect regarding to
page table binding. We must follow the guest binding requirements
between its page tables and assigned devices, otherwise every bound
address space is suddenly accessible by all assigned devices thus creating
security holes.
Do you think whether it's possible to extend iommu api to accept
device specific cmd? If not, moving it to vfio-pci or vfio-mdev sounds
also problematic, as PASID and page tables are IOMMU things which
are not touched by vfio device drivers today.
Alternatively can we impose the limitation that nesting APIs can be
only enabled for singleton containers which contains only one device?
This basically falls back to the state of legacy shadow translation
vIOMMU. and our current Qemu vIOMMU implementation actually
does this way regardless of whether nesting is used. Do you think
whether such tradeoff is acceptable as a starting point?
Thanks
Kevin
