[PATCH V3] vfio: platform: support No-IOMMU mode

From: Peng Fan
Date: Mon May 23 2016 - 05:48:40 EST


The vfio No-IOMMU mode was supported by this
'commit 03a76b60f8ba2797 ("vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode")',
but it only support vfio-pci.

Using vfio_iommu_group_get/put, but not iommu_group_get/put,
the platform devices can be exposed to userspace with
CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode"
option enabled.

>From 'commit 03a76b60f8ba2797 ("vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode")',
"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."

V3:
The platform device can be programmed to do DMA without
caring out mmap + VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA which are not
support by noiommu. So drop the last sentence of commit log
in V2, which is misleading.

V2:
Rename subject to support No-IOMMU
Add more commit log.
I wrote a simple program following this
https://github.com/virtualopensystems/vfio-host-test/blob/master/src_test/vfio_device_test.c
,no dma support. The device's register can be
accessed in userspace using command './vfio_dev_test 30b60000.usdhc 0 1 platform'
