Initial version of shadow virtqueue that actually forward buffers. The
exposed addresses are the qemu's virtual address, so devices with IOMMU
that does not allow full mapping of qemu's address space does not work
at the moment.

Also for simplicity it only supports modern devices, that expects vring
in little endian, with split ring and no event idx or indirect
descriptors.

It reuses the VirtQueue code for the device part. The driver part is
based on Linux's virtio_ring driver, but with stripped functionality
and optimizations so it's easier to review.

Later commits will solve some of these concerns.

It would be more more easier to review if you squash those
"enhancements" into this patch.

Ok, they will be in the same commit for the next version.

Code also need to map used ring (device part) as RW in, and only in,
vhost-net. To map (or call vhost_device_iotlb_miss) inconditionally
would print an error in case of vhost devices with its own mapping
(vdpa).

I think we should not depend on the IOTLB miss. Instead, we should
program the device IOTLB before starting the svq. Or is there anything
that prevent you from doing this?

Sorry for being unclear, that is what I meant in the message: No other
device than kernel vhost needs the map (as "sent iotlb miss ahead"),
so we must make it conditional. Doing it unconditionally would make
nothing but an error appear on the screen, but it is incorrect anyway.

Is it clearer this way?


So what I'm worrying is the following code:

int vhost_device_iotlb_miss(struct vhost_dev *dev, uint64_t iova, int write)
{
...

    if (dev->shadow_vqs_enabled) {
        /* Shadow virtqueue translations in its Virtual Address Space */
        const VhostDMAMap *result;
        const VhostDMAMap needle = {
            .iova = iova,
        };

        result = vhost_iova_tree_find_taddr(&dev->iova_map, &needle);
        ...

}

I wonder the reason for doing that (sorry if I've asked this in the previous version).

I think the correct way is to use map those in the device IOTLB before, instead of using the miss.

Then we can have a unified code for vhost-vDPA and vhost-kernel.



To know if this call is needed, vhost_sw_live_migration_start_vq and
vhost_sw_live_migration_stop copy the test performed in
vhost_dev_start. Testing for the actual backend type could be cleaner,
or checking for non-NULL vhost_force_iommu, enable_custom_iommu, or
another vhostOp. We could extract this test in its own function too,
so its name could give a better hint. Just copy the vhost_dev_start
check at the moment.

It's better to describe the detail order.

Any reason that you don't use virtio_notify() here?

No reason but to make sure guest_notifier is used. I'm not sure if
this is an implementation detail though.


The difference is that virtio_notify() will go through the memory API which will finally go to irqfd in this case.



I can test to switch to virtio_notify, what would be the advantage here?


Probably no.

+        }

This is an example of the extra complexity if you do shadow virtqueue at
.> virtio level.
If you do everything at e.g vhost-vdpa, you don't need to care about
masked_notifer at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong, what you mean is to use the backend
vhost_set_vring_call to set the guest notifier (from SVQ point of
view), and then set it unconditionally. The function
vhost_virtqueue_mask would set the masked one by itself, no
modification is needed here.


Something like this, from the point of vhost, it doesn't even need to know whether or not the notifier is masked or not. All it needs is to write to the eventfd set via vq call.



Backend would still need a conditional checking if SVQ is enabled, so
it either sends call_fd to backend or to SVQ.


Yes.


The call to
virtqueue_fill, would still be needed if we don't want to duplicate
all the device virtio's logic in the vhost-vdpa backend.


Yes, you can make the buffer forwarding a common library then it could be used other vhost backend in the future.

The point is to avoid touching vhost protocols to reduce the changeset and have someting minimal for our requirements (vhost-vDPA mainly).



Another possibility would be to just store guest_notifier in SVQ, and
replace it with masked notifier and back. I think this is more aligned
with what you have in mind, but it still needs changes to
vhost_virtqueue_mask. Note that the boolean store
masked_notifier.signaled is just a (maybe premature) optimization to
skip the unneeded write syscall, but it could be omitted for brevity.
Or maybe a cleaner solution is to use io_uring for this write? :).


Looks like not what I meant :)

To clarify, it works like:

1) record the vq call fd1 during vhost_vdpa_set_vring_call
2) when svq is not enabled, set this fd1 to vhost-VDPA via VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL 3) when svq is enabled, initialize and set fd2 to vhost-vDPA, poll and handle guest kick via fd1 and rely fd1 to fd2

So we don't need to care much about the masking, in the svq codes, we just stick to use the fd that is set via recent vhost_vdpa_set_vring_call().

That means, if virtqueue is masked, we're using mased_notifier actually, but it's totally transparent to us.

So the idea is behave like a normal vhost-vDPA backend, and hide the shadowing from the virtio codes.

Thanks!
