[PATCH RFC 00/12] IOMMUFD Generic interface

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

 



iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates to
managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.

It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.

We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU device
specific:
 - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
 - Userspace page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
 - Kernel bypass'd invalidation of user page tables
 - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
 - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
 - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
 - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace

As well as a need to access these features beyond just VFIO, VDPA for
instance, but other classes of accelerator HW are touching on these areas
now too.

The v1 series proposed re-using the VFIO type 1 data structure, however it
was suggested that if we are doing this big update then we should also
come with a data structure that solves the limitations that VFIO type1
has. Notably this addresses:

 - Multiple IOAS/'containers' and multiple domains inside a single FD

 - Single-pin operation no matter how many domains and containers use
   a page

 - A fine grained locking scheme supporting user managed concurrency for
   multi-threaded map/unmap

 - A pre-registration mechanism to optimize vIOMMU use cases by
   pre-pinning pages

 - Extended ioctl API that can manage these new objects and exposes
   domains directly to user space

 - domains are sharable between subsystems, eg VFIO and VDPA

The bulk of this code is a new data structure design to track how the
IOVAs are mapped to PFNs.

iommufd intends to be general and consumable by any driver that wants to
DMA to userspace. From a driver perspective it can largely be dropped in
in-place of iommu_attach_device() and provides a uniform full feature set
to all consumers.

As this is a larger project this series is the first step. This series
provides the iommfd "generic interface" which is designed to be suitable
for applications like DPDK and VMM flows that are not optimized to
specific HW scenarios. It is close to being a drop in replacement for the
existing VFIO type 1.

This is part two of three for an initial sequence:
 - Move IOMMU Group security into the iommu layer
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20220218005521.172832-1-baolu.lu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
 * Generic IOMMUFD implementation
 - VFIO ability to consume IOMMUFD
   An early exploration of this is available here:
    https://github.com/luxis1999/iommufd/commits/iommufd-v5.17-rc6

Various parts of the above extended features are in WIP stages currently
to define how their IOCTL interface should work.

At this point, using the draft VFIO series, unmodified qemu has been
tested to operate using iommufd on x86 and ARM systems.

Several people have contributed directly to this work: Eric Auger, Kevin
Tian, Lu Baolu, Nicolin Chen, Yi L Liu. Many more have participated in the
discussions that lead here, and provided ideas. Thanks to all!
