Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 5/9] virtio-iommu: Add VT-d IO page table


Resend the reply and CC virtio-comment list.

Hi,

From: Tina Zhang <tina.zhang@intel.com>

Allow a driver of a device behind virtio-iommu to detect support for
VT-d IO page table.

The driver detects support for VT-d IO page table format in a PROBE
request and sends an ATTACH_TABLE request with a pointer to the first
stage page translation table.

The definition of first stage page translation table ATTACH_TABLE
request references the fields defined in VT-d scalable-mode PASID table
entry.
* attributes defined in ATTACH_TABLE request:
   FSPTPTR got from pgtbl_addr field.
   SRE/EAFE/WPE defined in pgtbl_flags field.
   FSPM calculated through addr_width field.
   PASID got from pasid field.

* attributes not defined in ATTACH_TABLE request, as their
   configurations need to be decided by host:
   Memory type features, PAT/EMTE/CD/PGSNP/PWSNP.
   Snoop Behavior, PGSNP/PWSNP.

Support for any new attributes could easily be added by adding flags to
the PROBE property and fields in the ATTACH_TABLE config.

The size of MGAW is 6 bits. So, it should be:

+#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_HW_INTEL_VTD_ECAP_VCS        (1 << 44)
I don't think we need VCS defined here any more. In the old design, VCS was used as a channel for guest asking host to allocate a PASID for it. In the current design, we drop this and let host mediate guest PASIDs when necessary (which is agnostic to guest viommu driver). So basically, there are two cases: 1) For device assignment of I/O device, the PASIDs of the device are managed by guest. Host doesn't need to do any mediation. 2) For I/O Device sharing case, one device is used by multiple guests. So we cannot let one guest directly manage the PASIDs of that device. In this case, with the help of virtualization, host can trap the guest's first DMA access requiring a PASID and assign a host-side PASID for it. Guest viommu driver doesn't need to know the host-side PASID value.

+#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_HW_INTEL_VTD_ECAP_SMPWC      (1 << 48)

I think two more definitions are needed:
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_HW_INTEL_VTD_ECAP_NEST    (1 << 26)
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_HW_INTEL_VTD_ECAP_FSTS    (1 << 47)

The ECAP_NEST tells if VT-d hardware supports nested translations.
The ECAP_FSTS tells if VT-d hardware supports PASID granular translation type of first-stage.
+
+\todo{check that these are necessary and sufficient to support
+page table assignement in scalable mode.}
The cap_reg & ecap_reg expose VT-d hardware capability to guest. And it's expected to have virtio-iommu working with VT-d IO page table when the platform hardware at least has the capability of nested-translation (i.e., hardware must have scalable mode support and first-stage translation support and second-stage translation support.). So, we only pick definitions of the bits from VT-d spec which are related to the first-stage page table and the basic capability of nested-translation.

+\todo{Need to support non-PASID assignment? non-scalable?}
I didn't see any difference between the non-PASID assignment case and the PASID assignment case, in terms of virtio-iommu support VT-d. Any ideas?

The non-scalable doesn't seem so interesting right now. Any thoughts about it?

No, we don't need guest viommu driver to explicitly ask host's help for guest PASID alloc/free now. In the current design, guest viommu driver doesn't need to know the host-side PASID.
