2020-05-28vfio: Selective dirty page tracking if IOMMU backed device pins pagesKirti Wankhede1-1/+3
Added a check such that only singleton IOMMU groups can pin pages. >From the point when vendor driver pins any pages, consider IOMMU group dirty page scope to be limited to pinned pages. To optimize to avoid walking list often, added flag pinned_page_dirty_scope to indicate if all of the vfio_groups for each vfio_domain in the domain_list dirty page scope is limited to pinned pages. This flag is updated on first pinned pages request for that IOMMU group and on attaching/detaching group.

2020-03-24vfio: avoid inefficient operations on VFIO group in vfio_pin/unpin_pagesYan Zhao1-0/+6
vfio_group_pin_pages() and vfio_group_unpin_pages() are introduced to avoid inefficient search/check/ref/deref opertions associated with VFIO group as those in each calling into vfio_pin_pages() and vfio_unpin_pages(). VFIO group is taken as arg directly. The callers combine search/check/ref/deref operations associated with VFIO group by calling vfio_group_get_external_user()/vfio_group_get_external_user_from_dev() beforehand, and vfio_group_put_external_user() afterwards.

external user calls vfio_group_get_external_user_from_dev() with a device pointer to get the VFIO group associated with this device. The VFIO group is checked to be vialbe and have IOMMU set. Then container user counter is increased and VFIO group reference is hold to prevent the VFIO group from disposal before external user exits. when the external user finishes using of the VFIO group, it calls vfio_group_put_external_user() to dereference the VFIO group and the container user counter.

The vfio_info_add_capability() helper requires the caller to pass a capability ID, which it then uses to fill in header fields, assuming hard coded versions. This makes for an awkward and rigid interface. The only thing we want this helper to do is allocate sufficient space in the caps buffer and chain this capability into the list.

2017-06-28vfio: New external user group/file matchAlex Williamson1-0/+2
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.

Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

2015-12-21vfio: Include No-IOMMU modeAlex Williamson1-0/+3
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.

2015-03-17vfio: Split virqfd into a separate module for vfio bus driversAlex Williamson1-2/+0
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 <[email protected]>

2013-08-05vfio: add external user supportAlexey Kardashevskiy1-0/+7
VFIO is designed to be used via ioctls on file descriptors returned by VFIO. However in some situations support for an external user is required. The first user is KVM on PPC64 (SPAPR TCE protocol) which is going to use the existing VFIO groups for exclusive access in real/virtual mode on a host to avoid passing map/unmap requests to the user space which would made things pretty slow. The protocol includes: 1. do normal VFIO init operation: - opening a new container; - attaching group(s) to it; - setting an IOMMU driver for a container. When IOMMU is set for a container, all groups in it are considered ready to use by an external user. 2. User space passes a group fd to an external user. The external user calls vfio_group_get_external_user() to verify that: - the group is initialized; - IOMMU is set for it. If both checks passed, vfio_group_get_external_user() increments the container user counter to prevent the VFIO group from disposal before KVM exits. 3. The external user calls vfio_external_user_iommu_id() to know an IOMMU ID. PPC64 KVM uses it to link logical bus number (LIOBN) with IOMMU ID. 4. When the external KVM finishes, it calls vfio_group_put_external_user() to release the VFIO group. This call decrements the container user counter. Everything gets released. The "vfio: Limit group opens" patch is also required for the consistency. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <[email protected]>

Add PCI device support for VFIO. PCI devices expose regions for accessing config space, I/O port space, and MMIO areas of the device. PCI config access is virtualized in the kernel, allowing us to ensure the integrity of the system, by preventing various accesses while reducing duplicate support across various userspace drivers. I/O port supports read/write access while MMIO also supports mmap of sufficiently sized regions. Support for INTx, MSI, and MSI-X interrupts are provided using eventfds to userspace.

2012-07-31vfio: VFIO coreAlex Williamson1-0/+367
VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable IOMMU). New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their choice. Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description and usage example. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <[email protected]>
