[PATCH V4 0/9] PCI passthru on Hyper-V

From: Mukesh R

Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 22:20:20 EST


Implement passthru of PCI devices to unprivileged virtual machines
(VMs) when Linux is running as a privileged VM on Microsoft Hyper-V
hypervisor. This support is made to fit within the workings of VFIO
framework. This supports both full device passthru and SR-IOV based VFs.

At a high level, the hypervisor supports traditional paging iommu domains
that use explicit map and unmap hypercalls for mapping and unmapping
guest RAM into the iommu subsystem. Hyper-V also has a concept of direct
attach devices (DDA) whereby the iommu subsystem simply uses the guest
HW page table (ept/npt/..). This series adds support for the former.

This series rebased to: a4ffc59238be (origin/hyperv-next)

Testing:
o Most testing done on hyperv-next:a4ffc59238be using Cloud Hypervisor (51).
o All tests involved passthru of devices using MSIx.
o Tested on Baremetal dom0/root:
test 1: Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx passthru
test 2: NVIDIA Tesla Tesla T4 GPU.
test 3: Both of above simultaneous passthru
o VF: Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx passthru

This series strives to establish a base line. Some pending work items:
o arm64 : some delta to make this work on arm64 (in progress).
o Qemu and OpenVMM support (in progress).
o device sleep/wakeup.
o More stress testing with high end GPUs

Changes in V4:
o Completely remove direct device attach (DDA) support
o Remove first two patches that were submitted separately and are
already merged.
o Change hv_iommu_unmap_pages() to unmap in batches of HV_REP_COUNT_MAX,
otherwise if a physical range happens to be larger than that, there would
be errors from the hypercall.
o Use large page (2M) flag for mmio mappings as internal testing found
that to speed things up greatly.
o rename hv_no_movbl_pgs to hv_memreg in last patch.

Changes in V3:
o patch #8: fix compiler issues incase of !CONFIG_HYPERV. Also, do forward
declaration of struct pci_dev instead of including pci.h.
o patch #9: minor changes to comments. Pass hv_domain instead of
iommu_domain to hv_iommu_detach_dev() since that's what it needs. Set
device private to null if attach fails. Clam down number of PFNs passed
to hv_iommu_map_pgs().

Changes in V2:
o rebase to 5170a82e8921
o minor fixes for arm64 build
o drop patch 03: "x86/hyperv: add insufficient memory support in irqdomain.c"
as it that path is no longer used
o drop patch 08: "PCI: hv: rename hv_compose_msi_msg .. " and do it separately
outside this series.
o minor updates to commit messages

Changes in V1:
o patch 1: Don't tie hyperv-irq.c to CONFIG_HYPERV_IOMMU.
o patch 4: Redesigned to address security vulnerability found by copilot
with passing tgid as a parameter. Also, do tgid setting right
after setting pt_id.
o patch 5: Remove unused type parameter from mshv_device_ops.device_create
o patch 7: mshv_partition_ioctl_create_device cleanup on copy_to_user.
o patch 10: Add export of hv_build_devid_type_pci here to get rid of
patch 11.
o patch 12: Move functions to build device ids from patch 11 here for
the benefit of arm64. Rename file to: hyperv-iommu-root.c.
o patch 13: removed to be made part of interrupt part II of this support.
o patch 14: get rid of fast path to reduce review noise.
o New (last) patch to pin ram regions if device passthru to a VM.

Thanks,
