[PATCH v2 kvmtool 0/7] vfio/pci: Fix MSIX table and PBA size allocation

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

 



This series is meant to rework the way the MSIX table and PBA are allocated
to prevent situations where the size allocated by kvmtool is larger than
the size of the BAR that holds them.

Patches 1-3 are fixes for stuff I found when I was investing a bug
triggered by the incorrect sizing of the table and PBA.

Patch 4 is a preparatory patch.

Patch 5 is the proper fix. More details in the commit message.

Patch 6 is there to make it easier to catch such errors if the code
regresses.

Patch 7 is an optimization for guests with larger page sizes than the host.


Testing
=======

For v2:

On an AMD Seattle, host page size 4k and 64k, guest page size 4k and 64k,
tested device passthrough with a Realtek RTL8168 NIC.


For v1:

On an AMD Seattle, host page size 4k and 64k, guest page size 4k and 64k
(so 4 tests in total for each device). Tried device passthrough with a
Realtek RTL8168 NIC and with a Intel 82574L NIC (not at the same time). No
issues encountered, MSIX table and PBA BAR has the same layout as the
physical device.

On an AMD Ryzen 3900x, host and guest 4k pages, I've assigned an Intel
82574L NIC to the guest. Realtek RTL8168 doesn't work without emulating a
PCI Express bus because the drivers falls back to CSI for device
configuration. Everything works in the guest, the shared BAR has the same
layout in the guest as the physical device.


Changelog
=========

Since v1:

* Rebased on top of dc6646192057 ("arm64: Be more permissive when parsing the
  kernel header").
* Added reviewed-by tags, many thanks.
* Removed comment about aligning table and pba sizes to PAGE_SIZE in
  vfio_pci_create_msix_table, as per Andre's suggestion.
* Added a newline after local variable declaration in
  vfio_pci_create_msix_table.
* Align MSIX table and PBA to the maximum architectural page size in #7
  ("vfio/pci: Fix MSIX table and PBA size allocation"), as suggested by Andre.
