The patch series introduce a basic channel I/O passthrough
infrastructure based on vfio.
- Focus on supporting dasd-eckd(cu_type/dev_type = 0x3990/0x3390) as
the target device.
- Support new qemu parameters in the style of:
-machine s390-ccw-virtio(,s390-squash-mcss=on|off) \
-device vfio-ccw,sysfsdev=$MDEV_PATH
We want to support real (i.e. not virtual) channel devices even for
guests that do not support MCSS-E (where guests may see devices from
any channel subsystem image at once). As all virtio-ccw devices are in
css 0xfe (and show up in the default css 0 for guests not activating
MCSS-E), we need an option to squash e.g. passed-through channel devices
from their real css (0-3, or 0 for hosts not activating MCSS-E) into
the default css, that is what the new machine option s390-squash-css is
added.
Build and install:
1. kernel configuration
CONFIG_S390_CCW_IOMMU=m
CONFIG_VFIO=m
CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV=m
CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE=m
CONFIG_VFIO_CCW=m
2. modules required
modprobe vfio.ko
modprobe mdev.ko
modprobe vfio_mdev.ko
modprobe vfio_iommu_type1.ko
modprobe vfio_ccw.ko
3. find a subchannel(0.0."%schid") of a DASD-ECKD device and bind it to
vfio_ccw driver
#find the dasd you can use with lsdasd on your host. e.g.:
devno="7e52"
schid="16ca"
#unbind the ccw device from the subchannel
echo 0.0."$devno" > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0."$devno"/driver/unbind
#unbind the subchannel from io_subchannel driver
echo 0.0."$schid" > /sys/bus/css/devices/0.0."$schid"/driver/unbind
#bind the subchannel with vfio_ccw driver
echo 0.0."$schid" > /sys/bus/css/drivers/vfio_ccw/bind
4. create a mediated device
#generate a uuid with uuidgen. e.g.:
uuid="6dfd3ec5-e8b3-4e18-a6fe-57bc9eceb920"
echo "$uuid" > \
/sys/bus/css/devices/0.0."$schid"/mdev_supported_types/vfio_ccw-io/create
5. pass-through this device to a vm
-M s390-ccw-virtio,s390-squash-css=on \
-device vfio-ccw,sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/$uuid \
... ...
Change log:
v2 -> v3:
1. Move vfio_ccw.h to uapi.
2. Adopt the vfio-ccw cmdline interface as vfio-pci with mdev devices.
3. Rename s390-map-css to s390-squash-mcss (patch 2), and update devno
generation method (patch 5).
4. Patch 7: correct the validation of num_regions.
5. Patch 8: correct the validation of num_irqs.
v1 -> v2:
1. Rebase the implementation to the mdev framework approach.
2. Use pread and pwrite on an I/O region to issue I/O requests and
receive results.
