[RFC 0/7] Add SIOV virtual device support

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

 



Intel SIOV allows creating virtual devices of which the vRID is
represented by a pasid of a physical device. It is called as SIOV
virtual device in this series. Such devices can be bound to an iommufd
as physical device does and then later be attached to an IOAS/hwpt
using that pasid. Such PASIDs are called as default pasid.

iommufd has already supported pasid attach[1]. So a simple way to
support SIOV virtual device attachment is to let device driver call
the iommufd_device_pasid_attach() and pass in the default pasid for
the virtual device. This should work for now, but it may have problem
if iommufd core wants to differentiate the default pasids with other
kind of pasids (e.g. pasid given by userspace). In the later forwarding
page request to userspace, the default pasids are not supposed to send
to userspace as default pasids are mainly used by the SIOV device driver.

With above reason, this series chooses to have a new API to bind the
default pasid to iommufd, and extends the iommufd_device_attach() to
convert the attachment to be pasid attach with the default pasid. Device
drivers (e.g. VFIO) that support SIOV shall call the below APIs to
interact with iommufd:

  - iommufd_device_bind_pasid(): Bind virtual device (a pasid of a device)
				 to iommufd;
  - iommufd_device_attach(): Attach a SIOV virtual device to IOAS/HWPT;
  - iommufd_device_replace(): Replace IOAS/HWPT of a SIOV virtual device;
  - iommufd_device_detach(): Detach IOAS/HWPT of a SIOV virtual device;
  - iommufd_device_unbind(): Unbind virtual device from iommufd;

For vfio devices, the device drivers that support SIOV should:

  - use below API to register vdev for SIOV virtual device
        vfio_register_pasid_iommu_dev()

  - use below API to bind vdev to iommufd in .bind_iommufd() callback
        iommufd_device_bind_pasid()

  - allocate pasid by itself before calling iommufd_device_bind_pasid()
