[Patch v8 00/10] vfio: expose virtual 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 VFIO 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 QEMU 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

This patch series has been updated regards to the disscussion around PASID
allocation in v7 [1]. This series has removed the PASID allocation, and
adapted to the /dev/ioasid solution [2]. Therefore the patches in this series
has been re-ordered. And the Patch Overview is as below:

 1. reports IOMMU nesting info to userspace ( patch 0001, 0002, 0003, 0010)
 2. vfio support for binding guest page table to host (patch 0004)
 3. vfio support for IOMMU cache invalidation from VMs (patch 0005)
 4. vfio support for vSVA usage on IOMMU-backed mdevs (patch 0006, 0007)
 5. expose PASID capability to VM (patch 0008)
 6. add doc for VFIO dual stage control (patch 0009)

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 patchset is aiming for the phase 1 and phase 2. And it has dependency on IOASID
extension from Jacobd Pan [3]. Complete set for current vSVA kernel and QEMU can be
found in [4] and [5].

	  version compatibility and hardware compatibility.
	  d) Adds vSVA vfio support for IOMMU-backed mdevs.
