[PATCH v7 00/13] basic channel IO passthrough infrastructure based on vfio

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

 



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 \
  ... ...
