[PATCH v7 00/13] iommufd: Add vIOMMU infrastructure (Part-1)

From: Nicolin Chen
Date: Tue Nov 05 2024 - 15:05:15 EST


This series introduces a new vIOMMU infrastructure and related ioctls.

IOMMUFD has been using the HWPT infrastructure for all cases, including a
nested IO page table support. Yet, there're limitations for an HWPT-based
structure to support some advanced HW-accelerated features, such as CMDQV
on NVIDIA Grace, and HW-accelerated vIOMMU on AMD. Even for a multi-IOMMU
environment, it is not straightforward for nested HWPTs to share the same
parent HWPT (stage-2 IO pagetable), with the HWPT infrastructure alone: a
parent HWPT typically hold one stage-2 IO pagetable and tag it with only
one ID in the cache entries. When sharing one large stage-2 IO pagetable
across physical IOMMU instances, that one ID may not always be available
across all the IOMMU instances. In other word, it's ideal for SW to have
a different container for the stage-2 IO pagetable so it can hold another
ID that's available. And this container will be able to hold some advanced
feature too.

For this "different container", add vIOMMU, an additional layer to hold
extra virtualization information:
_______________________________________________________________________

|iommu_device| |------>|iommu_domain|<----|iommu_domain|<----|device|
|____________| storage|____________| |____________| |______|

The vIOMMU object should be seen as a slice of a physical IOMMU instance
that is passed to or shared with a VM. That can be some HW/SW resources:
- Security namespace for guest owned ID, e.g. guest-controlled cache tags
- Non-device-affiliated event reporting, e.g. invalidation queue errors
- Access to a sharable nesting parent pagetable across physical IOMMUs
- Virtualization of various platforms IDs, e.g. RIDs and others
- Delivery of paravirtualized invalidation
- Direct assigned invalidation queues
- Direct assigned interrupts

On a multi-IOMMU system, the vIOMMU object must be instanced to the number
of the physical IOMMUs that have a slice passed to (via device) a guest VM,
while being able to hold the shareable parent HWPT. Each vIOMMU then just
needs to allocate its own individual ID to tag its own cache:
----------------------------
---------------- | | paging_hwpt0 |
| hwpt_nested0 |--->| viommu0 ------------------
---------------- | | IDx |
----------------------------
----------------------------
---------------- | | paging_hwpt0 |
| hwpt_nested1 |--->| viommu1 ------------------
---------------- | | IDy |
----------------------------

As an initial part-1, add IOMMUFD_CMD_VIOMMU_ALLOC ioctl for an allocation
only.

More vIOMMU-based structs and ioctls will be introduced in the follow-up
series to support vDEVICE, vIRQ (vEVENT) and vQUEUE objects. Although we
repurposed the vIOMMU object from an earlier RFC, just for a referece:
