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: Include No-IOMMU mode

2015-11-04T16:56:16Z

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

vfio: powerpc/spapr: Support Dynamic DMA windows

2015-06-11T05:16:55Z

This adds create/remove window ioctls to create and remove DMA windows. sPAPR defines a Dynamic DMA windows capability which allows para-virtualized guests to create additional DMA windows on a PCI bus. The existing linux kernels use this new window to map the entire guest memory and switch to the direct DMA operations saving time on map/unmap requests which would normally happen in a big amounts. This adds 2 ioctl handlers - VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE and VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE - to create and remove windows. Up to 2 windows are supported now by the hardware and by this driver. This changes VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO handler to return additional information such as a number of supported windows and maximum number levels of TCE tables. DDW is added as a capability, not as a SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 unique feature as we still want to support v2 on platforms which cannot do DDW for the sake of TCE acceleration in KVM (coming soon).

vfio: powerpc/spapr: Register memory and define IOMMU v2

2015-06-11T05:16:55Z

The existing implementation accounts the whole DMA window in the locked_vm counter. This is going to be worse with multiple containers and huge DMA windows. Also, real-time accounting would requite additional tracking of accounted pages due to the page size difference - IOMMU uses 4K pages and system uses 4K or 64K pages. Another issue is that actual pages pinning/unpinning happens on every DMA map/unmap request. This does not affect the performance much now as we spend way too much time now on switching context between guest/userspace/host but this will start to matter when we add in-kernel DMA map/unmap acceleration. This introduces a new IOMMU type for SPAPR - VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_v2_IOMMU. New IOMMU deprecates VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE/VFIO_IOMMU_DISABLE and introduces 2 new ioctls to register/unregister DMA memory - VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY and VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_UNREGISTER_MEMORY - which receive user space address and size of a memory region which needs to be pinned/unpinned and counted in locked_vm. New IOMMU splits physical pages pinning and TCE table update into 2 different operations. It requires: 1) guest pages to be registered first 2) consequent map/unmap requests to work only with pre-registered memory. For the default single window case this means that the entire guest (instead of 2GB) needs to be pinned before using VFIO. When a huge DMA window is added, no additional pinning will be required, otherwise it would be guest RAM + 2GB. The new memory registration ioctls are not supported by VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU. Dynamic DMA window and in-kernel acceleration will require memory to be preregistered in order to work. The accounting is done per the user process. This advertises v2 SPAPR TCE IOMMU and restricts what the userspace can do with v1 or v2 IOMMUs. In order to support memory pre-registration, we need a way to track the use of every registered memory region and only allow unregistration if a region is not in use anymore. So we need a way to tell from what region the just cleared TCE was from. This adds a userspace view of the TCE table into iommu_table struct. It contains userspace address, one per TCE entry. The table is only allocated when the ownership over an IOMMU group is taken which means it is only used from outside of the powernv code (such as VFIO). As v2 IOMMU supports IODA2 and pre-IODA2 IOMMUs (which do not support DDW API), this creates a default DMA window for IODA2 for consistency.

vfio/iommu_type1: add new VFIO_TYPE1_NESTING_IOMMU IOMMU type

2014-09-29T16:06:19Z

VFIO allows devices to be safely handed off to userspace by putting them behind an IOMMU configured to ensure DMA and interrupt isolation. This enables userspace KVM clients, such as kvmtool and qemu, to further map the device into a virtual machine. With IOMMUs such as the ARM SMMU, it is then possible to provide SMMU translation services to the guest operating system, which are nested with the existing translation installed by VFIO. However, enabling this feature means that the IOMMU driver must be informed that the VFIO domain is being created for the purposes of nested translation. This patch adds a new IOMMU type (VFIO_TYPE1_NESTING_IOMMU) to the VFIO type-1 driver. The new IOMMU type acts identically to the VFIO_TYPE1v2_IOMMU type, but additionally sets the DOMAIN_ATTR_NESTING attribute on its IOMMU domains.
