vfio: New external user group/file match

2017-07-27T22:08:03Z

commit 5d6dee80a1e94cc284d03e06d930e60e8d3ecf7d upstream. At the point where the kvm-vfio pseudo device wants to release its vfio group reference, we can't always acquire a new reference to make that happen. The group can be in a state where we wouldn't allow a new reference to be added. This new helper function allows a caller to match a file to a group to facilitate this. Given a file and group, report if they match. Thus the caller needs to already have a group reference to match to the file. This allows the deletion of a group without acquiring a new reference.

vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode

2015-12-21T22:28:11Z

There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a DMA capable device without an IOMMU to protect the host system. There is also no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as device assignment to virtual machines. However, there are still those users that want userspace drivers even under those conditions. The UIO driver exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of device access and programming that VFIO has. In an effort to avoid code duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO. This mode requires building VFIO with CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and enabling the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode" option on the vfio driver. This should make it very clear that this mode is not safe. Additionally, CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges are necessary to work with groups and containers using this mode. Groups making use of this support are named /dev/vfio/noiommu-$GROUP and can only make use of the special VFIO_NOIOMMU_IOMMU for the container. Use of this mode, specifically binding a device without a native IOMMU group to a VFIO bus driver will taint the kernel and should therefore not be considered supported. This patch includes no-iommu support for the vfio-pci bus driver only. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Revert: "vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode"

2015-12-04T15:38:42Z

Revert commit 033291eccbdb ("vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode") due to lack of a user. This was originally intended to fill a need for the DPDK driver, but uptake has been slow so rather than support an unproven kernel interface revert it and revisit when userspace catches up.

vfio: Split virqfd into a separate module for vfio bus drivers

2015-03-17T14:33:38Z

An unintended consequence of commit 42ac9bd18d4f ("vfio: initialize the virqfd workqueue in VFIO generic code") is that the vfio module is renamed to vfio_core so that it can include both vfio and virqfd. That's a user visible change that may break module loading scritps and it imposes eventfd support as a dependency on the core vfio code, which it's really not. virqfd is intended to be provided as a service to vfio bus drivers, so instead of wrapping it into vfio.ko, we can make it a stand-alone module toggled by vfio bus drivers. This has the additional benefit of removing initialization and exit from the core vfio code. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

vfio: move eventfd support code for VFIO_PCI to a separate file

2015-03-16T20:08:54Z

The virqfd functionality that is used by VFIO_PCI to implement interrupt masking and unmasking via an eventfd, is generic enough and can be reused by another driver. Move it to a separate file in order to allow the code to be shared.

vfio: Add and use device request op for vfio bus drivers

2015-02-10T19:37:47Z

When a request is made to unbind a device from a vfio bus driver, we need to wait for the device to become unused, ie. for userspace to release the device. However, we have a long standing TODO in the code to do something proactive to make that happen. To enable this, we add a request callback on the vfio bus driver struct, which is intended to signal the user through the vfio device interface to release the device. Instead of passively waiting for the device to become unused, we can now pester the user to give it up. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson
