[PATCH v4 00/17] iommufd: Add nesting infrastructure

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

 



Nested translation is a hardware feature that is supported by many modern
IOMMU hardwares. It has two stages (stage-1, stage-2) address translation
to get access to the physical address. stage-1 translation table is owned
by userspace (e.g. by a guest OS), while stage-2 is owned by kernel. Changes
to stage-1 translation table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.

Take Intel VT-d as an example, the stage-1 translation table is I/O page
table. As the below diagram shows, guest I/O page table pointer in GPA
(guest physical address) is passed to host and be used to perform the stage-1
address translation. Along with it, modifications to present mappings in the
guest I/O page table should be followed with an IOTLB invalidation.

    .-------------.  .---------------------------.
    |   vIOMMU    |  | Guest I/O page table      |
    |             |  '---------------------------'
    .----------------/
    | PASID Entry |--- PASID cache flush --+
    '-------------'                        |
    |             |                        V
    |             |           I/O page table pointer in GPA
    '-------------'

------| Shadow |---------------------------|--------
      v        v                           v

    .-------------.  .------------------------.
    |   pIOMMU    |  |  FS for GIOVA->GPA     |
    |             |  '------------------------'
    .----------------/  |
    | PASID Entry |     V (Nested xlate)
    '----------------\.----------------------------------.
    |             |   | SS for GPA->HPA, unmanaged domain|
    |             |   '----------------------------------'
    '-------------'
Where:
 - FS = First stage page tables
 - SS = Second stage page tables
<Intel VT-d Nested translation>

In IOMMUFD, all the translation tables are tracked by hw_pagetable (hwpt)
and each has an iommu_domain allocated from iommu driver. So in this series
hw_pagetable and iommu_domain means the same thing if no special note.
IOMMUFD has already supported allocating hw_pagetable that is linked with
an IOAS. However, nesting requires IOMMUFD to allow allocating hw_pagetable
with driver specific parameters and interface to sync stage-1 IOTLB as user
owns the stage-1 translation table.

This series is based on the iommu hw info reporting series [1]. It first
extends domain_alloc_user to allocate domains with user data and adds new
op for invalidate stage-1 IOTLB for user-managed domains, then extends the
IOMMUFD internal infrastructure to accept user_data and parent hwpt, relay
the user_data/parent to iommu core to allocate user-managed iommu_domain.
After it, extends the ioctl IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC to accept user data and stage-2
hwpt ID. Along with it, ioctl IOMMU_HWPT_INVALIDATE is added to invalidate
stage-1 IOTLB. This is needed for user-managed hwpts. Selftest is added as
well to cover the new ioctls.

Complete code can be found in [2], QEMU could can be found in [3].

At last, this is a team work together with Nicolin Chen, Lu Baolu. Thanks
them for the help. ^_^. Look forward to your feedbacks.

Change log:

v4:
 - Separate HWPT alloc/destroy/abort functions between user-managed HWPTs
   and kernel-managed HWPTs
 - Rework invalidate uAPI to be a multi-request array-based design
 - Add a struct iommu_user_data_array and a helper for driver to sanitize
   and copy the entry data from user space invalidation array
 - Add a patch fixing TEST_LENGTH() in selftest program
 - Drop IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES patches
 - Update kdoc and inline comments
 - Drop the code to add IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI to kernel-managed HWPT in nested translation,
   this does not change the rule that resv regions should only be added to the
   kernel-managed HWPT. The IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI stuff will be added in later series
   as it is needed only by SMMU so far.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230724110406.107212-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
 - Add new uAPI things in alphabetical order
 - Pass in "enum iommu_hwpt_type hwpt_type" to op->domain_alloc_user for
   sanity, replacing the previous op->domain_alloc_user_data_len solution
 - Return ERR_PTR from domain_alloc_user instead of NULL
 - Only add IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI to kernel-managed HWPT in nested translation (Kevin)
 - Add IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES to report resv iova ranges to userspace hence
   userspace is able to exclude the ranges in the stage-1 HWPT (e.g. guest I/O
   page table). (Kevin)
 - Add selftest coverage for the new IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES ioctl
 - Minor changes per Kevin's inputs

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230511143844.22693-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
 - Add union iommu_domain_user_data to include all user data structures to avoid
   passing void * in kernel APIs.
 - Add iommu op to return user data length for user domain allocation
 - Rename struct iommu_hwpt_alloc::data_type to be hwpt_type
 - Store the invalidation data length in iommu_domain_ops::cache_invalidate_user_data_len
 - Convert cache_invalidate_user op to be int instead of void
 - Remove @data_type in struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate
 - Remove out_hwpt_type_bitmap in struct iommu_hw_info hence drop patch 08 of v1

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230309080910.607396-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/

Thanks,
	Yi Liu
