Design for Mediated Device Driver:
Main purpose of this driver is to provide a common interface for mediated
device management that can be used by differnt drivers of different
devices.
This module provides a generic interface to create the device, add it to
mediated bus, add device to IOMMU group and then add it to vfio group.
Below is the high Level block diagram, with Nvidia, Intel and IBM devices
as example, since these are the devices which are going to actively use
this module as of now.

Core driver provides two types of registration interfaces:
1. Registration interface for mediated bus driver:
/**
* struct mdev_driver - Mediated device's driver
* @name: driver name
* @probe: called when new device created
* @remove:called when device removed
* @match: called when new device or driver is added for this bus.
Return 1 if given device can be handled by given driver and
zero otherwise.
* @driver:device driver structure
*
**/
struct mdev_driver {
const char *name;
int (*probe) (struct device *dev);
void (*remove) (struct device *dev);
int (*match)(struct device *dev);
struct device_driver driver;
};
int mdev_register_driver(struct mdev_driver *drv, struct module *owner);
void mdev_unregister_driver(struct mdev_driver *drv);
Mediated device's driver for mdev should use this interface to register
with Core driver. With this, mediated devices driver for such devices is
responsible to add mediated device to VFIO group.
2. Physical device driver interface
This interface provides vendor driver the set APIs to manage physical
device related work in their own driver. APIs are :
- supported_config: provide supported configuration list by the vendor
driver
- create: to allocate basic resources in vendor driver for a mediated
device.
- destroy: to free resources in vendor driver when mediated device is
destroyed.
- start: to initiate mediated device initialization process from vendor
driver when VM boots and before QEMU starts.
- shutdown: to teardown mediated device resources during VM teardown.
- read : read emulation callback.
- write: write emulation callback.
- set_irqs: send interrupt configuration information that QEMU sets.
- get_region_info: to provide region size and its flags for the mediated
device.
- validate_map_request: to validate remap pfn request.
This registration interface should be used by vendor drivers to register
each physical device to mdev core driver.

Sorry not a native speaker. Is it cleaner to say "Driver framework for Mediated
Devices" or "Mediated Device Framework"? Should we focus on driver or device
here?

phy_devices -> pdevices? and similarly we can use pdev/mdev
pair in other places...

can we just call it "struct mdev* or "mdevice"? "dev_device" looks redundant.
Sorry I may have to ask same question since I didn't get an answer yet.
what exactly does 'instance' mean here? since uuid is unique, why do
we need match instance too?

better to unify the notation here. what's the difference between mdev
and vdev?

Looks above is to find the first mdev for a given physical device, instead of
finding next mdev

a warning message is preferred. Also better to return -EBUSY here.

Am I missing something here? You didn't remove this mdev node from
the list, and below...

you should use mutex of mdevices list

any reason to include sysfs operations inside the mutex which is
purely about phy_devices list?

Need check return value here since ops->destroy may fail.

Sorry not a native speaker. Is it cleaner to say "Driver framework for Mediated
Devices" or "Mediated Device Framework"? Should we focus on driver or device
here?

phy_devices -> pdevices? and similarly we can use pdev/mdev
pair in other places...

can we just call it "struct mdev* or "mdevice"? "dev_device" looks redundant.
Sorry I may have to ask same question since I didn't get an answer yet.
what exactly does 'instance' mean here? since uuid is unique, why do
we need match instance too?

better to unify the notation here. what's the difference between mdev
and vdev?

Looks above is to find the first mdev for a given physical device, instead of
finding next mdev

a warning message is preferred. Also better to return -EBUSY here.

Am I missing something here? You didn't remove this mdev node from
the list, and below...

any reason to include sysfs operations inside the mutex which is

Need check return value here since ops->destroy may fail.

Both, device and driver. This framework provides way to register

'pdevices' sometimes also refers to 'pointer to devices' that's the
reason I perfer to use phy_devices to represent 'physical devices'

'struct mdev_device' represents 'device structure for device created by

'uuid' could be UUID of a VM for whom it is created. To support mutiple
mediated devices for same VM, name should be unique. Hence we need a
instance number to identify each mediated device uniquely in one VM.

If there are any physical device registered with this module then the

All mdev_devices, which are created for any physical device, are
destroyed from mdev_unregister_device(physial_device);
Hence no need to explicitly add the code here which would never get used.

If UUID alone cannot universally identify a mediated device, what's the
point of explicitly tagging it in kernel? Either we assign a new UUID for
this mdev itself, or possibly better define it as a string? Management
stack can pass any ID/name in string format which is sufficiently to identify
mdev to its own purpose? Then in this framework we just do simple
string match...

Regardless of whether caller will handle error, this function itself should
return error since it makes sense in other path e.g. sysfs to let user
know what's happening.

I'm not sure whether there'll be some race condition here, since you
put a defunc mdev on the list...

phy_devices.list_lock only protects the list, when you plan to add a
new phy_device node after it's initialized and get ready. sysfs
attribute setup is still part of initialization.

nit, vfio is a userspace driver interface where QEMU is simply a user

I don't see that file anywhere in this series. Also note that SR-IOV
is a PCI specific technology while as a framework this is specifically
not limited to PCI. In fact, there's really no requirement here that
physical hardware even exists, this interface could be used to provide
in-kernel emulation of a device.

What's "next" about this function? "next" generally means the caller
provides a starting point in the list and the search continues from
there.

Ah, I see from the unregister below that this is intended as a first
entry type function, so the naming is not consistent with Linux
terminology. Suggest "first" in the name.

Locking here appears arbitrary, how does the above code interact with
phy_devices.dev_list?

There's a race between where we searched for the physical device above

I'm guessing there's a race here that a new mdev could be added before
the phy_dev gets removed. Probably need to fix ordering to remove the
phy_dev from the list first to prevent new mdev's being created from it.

What are we locking here? We found phy_dev under lock but we have
absolutely no guarantee that it still exists and holding this mutex
doesn't change that.

Is there some defined max for the string? How do we know how much the
caller has allocated? Should we have a char** here so we can allocate
it?

Again, this lock doesn't protect anything. We either need a reference
or we need end-to-end locking.

Are they necessarily required? What if the driver doesn't have
multiple types? The supported_config callback is optional per previous
code.

Perhaps more clear to say "Same as vfio_region_info.flags" Also prefix

Could this be in the private header? Seems like this should be opaque

Seems like I asked before and it's no more clear in the code, how do we
handle multiple spaces for various types? ie. a device might have
multiple MMIO spaces.

I don't see how vfio regions indexes here map to read/write

I would really like to be able to use the mediated device interface to
create a purely virtual device, is the expectation that my physical
device interface would create a virtual struct device which would
become the parent and control point in sysfs for creating all the mdev
devices? Should we be calling this a host_device or mdev_parent_dev in
that case since there's really no requirement that it be a physical
device? Thanks,
Alex

nit, vfio is a userspace driver interface where QEMU is simply a user
of that interface. We should never assume QEMU is the only user.

I don't see that file anywhere in this series. Also note that SR-IOV
is a PCI specific technology while as a framework this is specifically
not limited to PCI. In fact, there's really no requirement here that
physical hardware even exists, this interface could be used to provide
in-kernel emulation of a device.

What's "next" about this function? "next" generally means the caller
provides a starting point in the list and the search continues from
there.

Ah, I see from the unregister below that this is intended as a first
entry type function, so the naming is not consistent with Linux
terminology. Suggest "first" in the name.

Locking here appears arbitrary, how does the above code interact with

There's a race between where we searched for the physical device above

I'm guessing there's a race here that a new mdev could be added before
the phy_dev gets removed. Probably need to fix ordering to remove the
phy_dev from the list first to prevent new mdev's being created from it.

What are we locking here? We found phy_dev under lock but we have
absolutely no guarantee that it still exists and holding this mutex
doesn't change that.

Is there some defined max for the string? How do we know how much the
caller has allocated? Should we have a char** here so we can allocate
it?

Again, this lock doesn't protect anything. We either need a reference

Are they necessarily required? What if the driver doesn't have
multiple types? The supported_config callback is optional per previous

Perhaps more clear to say "Same as vfio_region_info.flags" Also prefix

Could this be in the private header? Seems like this should be opaque
outside of mdev core.

Seems like I asked before and it's no more clear in the code, how do we
handle multiple spaces for various types? ie. a device might have
multiple MMIO spaces.

I would really like to be able to use the mediated device interface to
create a purely virtual device, is the expectation that my physical
device interface would create a virtual struct device which would
become the parent and control point in sysfs for creating all the mdev
devices? Should we be calling this a host_device or mdev_parent_dev in
that case since there's really no requirement that it be a physical
device? Thanks,
Alex

Yes, missed this file in this patch. I'll add it in next version of patch.
Since mdev module is moved in vfio directory, should I place this file
in vfio directory, Documentation/vfio/mdev.txt? or keep documentation of
mdev module within vfio.txt itself?

Sorry for not being clear about phy_devices.list_lock, probably I
shouldn't have named it 'list_lock'. This lock is also to synchronize
register_device & unregister_device and physical device specific
callbacks: supported_config, create, destroy, start and shutdown.
Although supported_config, create and destroy are per phy_device
specific callbacks while start and shutdown could refer to multiple
phy_devices indirectly when there are multiple mdev devices of same type
on different physical devices. There could be race condition in start
callback and destroy & unregister_device. I'm revisiting this lock again
and will see to use per phy device lock for phy_device specific callbacks.

No, this structure is used in mediated device call back functions to
vendor driver so that vendor driver could identify mdev device, similar
to pci_dev structure in pci bus subsystem. (I'll remove kref which is
not being used at all.)

Sorry, updated the code but missed to update comment here.
pos = base_address + offset
(its not 'pos' anymore, will rename it to addr)
so vendor driver is aware about base addresses of multiple MMIO spaces
and its size, they can identify MMIO space based on addr.

Makes sense. I'll rename it to parent_device.

Yes, missed this file in this patch. I'll add it in next version of patch.
Since mdev module is moved in vfio directory, should I place this file
in vfio directory, Documentation/vfio/mdev.txt? or keep documentation of
mdev module within vfio.txt itself?

Personally I'd prefer to see more use of reference counting and less
locking, especially since the locking is mostly ineffective in this
version.

Why not let the vendor driver provide vfio_region_info directly,
including the offset within the device file descriptor thedn the
mediated device core simply pass read/write through without caring what
the address space is? Thanks,

Dear Kirti:
When I rebased my vfio-ccw patches on this series, I found I need an
extra 'ioctl' callback in phy_device_ops.
The ccw physical device only supports one ccw mediated device. And I
have two new ioctl commands for the ccw mediated device. One is
to hot-reset the resource in the physical device that allocated for
the mediated device, the other is to do an I/O instruction translation
and perform an I/O operation on the physical device. I found the
existing callbacks could not meet my requirements.
Something like the following would be fine for my case:
int (*ioctl)(struct mdev_device *vdev,
unsigned int cmd,
unsigned long arg);
What do you think about this?

'reset' should be generic. better to define an individual callback
for it (then we can also expose a node under vgpu path in sysfs).

Thanks for taking closer look. As per my knowledge ccw is not PCI
device, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm curious to know. Are you
planning to write a driver (vfio-mccw) for mediated ccw device?

Dear Kirti:
You are right. CCW is different to PCI. The official term is 'Channel
I/O device'. They use 'Channels' (co-processors) and CCWs (channel
command words) to handle I/O operations.
> I'm curious to know. Are you planning to write a driver (vfio-mccw) for
> mediated ccw device?
I wrote two drivers:
1. A vfio-pccw driver for the physical ccw device, which will reigister
the device and callbacks to mdev framework. With this, I could create
a mediated ccw device for the physical one then.
2. A vfio-mccw driver for the mediated ccw device, which will add
itself to a vfio_group, mimiced what vfio-mpci did.
The problem is, vfio-mccw need to implement new ioctls besides the
existing ones (VFIO_DEVICE_GET_INFO, etc). And these ioctls really need
the physical device help to handle.

Hi Dong,
Could you please help us understand a bit more about the new VFIO ioctl? Since it is
a new ioctl it is send down by QEMU in this case right? More details?

Dear Neo,
Sure, with pleasure.
Since I tried not to bring too much ccw specific technical details
here, I wrote quite briefly. Please feel free to ask me for
supplements. :>
> Since it is a new ioctl it is send down by QEMU in this case right?
Right.
> More details?
As mentioned in the former emails, I currently added two new ioctl
commands.
1. VFIO_DEVICE_CCW_HOT_RESET
Both the name and the purpose of this command looks pretty the same
with VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET.
Since Kevin proposed an individual callback for hot-reset handling, I
believe this will not be a problem (only if you accept the proposal).
2. VFIO_DEVICE_CCW_CMD_REQUEST
This intends to handle an intercepted channel I/O instruction. It
basically need to do the following thing:
a. Copy the raw data of the CCW program (a group of chained CCWs) from
user into kernel space buffers.
b. Do CCW program translation based on the raw data to get a
real-device runnable CCW program. We'd pin pages for those CCWs
which have memory space pointers for their offload, and update the
CCW program with the pinned results (phys).
c. Issue the translated CCW program to a real-device to perform the
I/O operation, and wait for the I/O result interrupt.
d. Once we got the I/O result, copy the result back to user, and
unpin the pages.
Step c could only be done by the physical device driver, since it's it
that the int_handler belongs to.
Step b and d should be done by the physical device driver. Or we'd
pin/unpin pages in the mediated device driver?
That's why I asked for the new callback.

May I ask how and when QEMU knows that he needs to issue such VFIO ioctl at

Yep, this is my question as well. It sounds a bit like there's an
emulated device in QEMU that's trying to tell the mediated device when
to start an operation when we probably should be passing through
whatever i/o operations indicate that status directly to the mediated
device. Thanks,
Alex

Below is copied from Dong's earlier post which said clear that
a guest cmd submission will trigger the whole flow:
----
Explanation:
Q1-Q4: Qemu side process.
K1-K6: Kernel side process.
Q1. Intercept a ssch instruction.
Q2. Translate the guest ccw program to a user space ccw program
(u_ccwchain).
Q3. Call VFIO_DEVICE_CCW_CMD_REQUEST (u_ccwchain, orb, irb).
K1. Copy from u_ccwchain to kernel (k_ccwchain).
K2. Translate the user space ccw program to a kernel space ccw
program, which becomes runnable for a real device.
K3. With the necessary information contained in the orb passed in
by Qemu, issue the k_ccwchain to the device, and wait event q
for the I/O result.
K4. Interrupt handler gets the I/O result, and wakes up the wait q.
K5. CMD_REQUEST ioctl gets the I/O result, and uses the result to
update the user space irb.
K6. Copy irb and scsw back to user space.
Q4. Update the irb for the guest.
----
My understanding is that such thing belongs to how device is mediated
(so device driver specific), instead of something to be abstracted in
VFIO which manages resource but doesn't care how resource is used.
Actually we have same requirement in vGPU case, that a guest driver
needs submit GPU commands through some MMIO register. vGPU device
model will intercept the submission request (in its own way), do its
necessary scan/audit to ensure correctness/security, and then submit
to physical GPU through vendor specific interface.
No difference with channel I/O here.

Right, but this was the pre-mediated device approach, now we no longer
need step Q2 so we really only need Q1 and therefore Q3 to exist in
QEMU if those are operations that are not visible to the mediated
device; which they very well might be, since it's described as an
instruction rather than an i/o operation. It's not terrible if that's
the case, vfio-pci has its own ioctl for doing a hot reset.

Well, if the GPU command is submitted through an MMIO register, is that
MMIO register part of the mediated device? If so, could the mediated
device recognize the command and do the scan/audit itself? QEMU must
not be the point at which mediation occurs for security purposes, QEMU
is userspace and userspace is not to be trusted. I'm still open to
ioctls where it makes sense, as above, we have PCI specific ioctls and
already, but we need to evaluate each one, why it needs to exist, and
whether we can skip it if the mediated device can trigger the action on
its own. After all, that's why we're using the vfio api, so we can
re-use much of the existing infrastructure, especially for a vGPU that
exposes itself as a PCI device. Thanks,
Alex

My point is that a guest submission on vGPU is just a normal trapped
register write, which is forwarded from Qemu to VFIO through pwrite
interface and then hit mediated vGPU device. The mediated device
will recognize this register write as a submission request and then do
necessary scan (looks we are saying same thing) and then submit to
physical device driver. If loading ccw cmds on channel i/o are also
through some I/O registers, it can be implemented same way w/o
introducing new ioctl. The r/w handler of mediated device can figure
out whether it's a ccw submission or not. But my understanding might
be wrong here.

My point is that a guest submission on vGPU is just a normal trapped
register write, which is forwarded from Qemu to VFIO through pwrite
interface and then hit mediated vGPU device. The mediated device
will recognize this register write as a submission request and then do
necessary scan (looks we are saying same thing) and then submit to
physical device driver. If loading ccw cmds on channel i/o are also
through some I/O registers, it can be implemented same way w/o
introducing new ioctl. The r/w handler of mediated device can figure
out whether it's a ccw submission or not. But my understanding might
be wrong here.

Dear Alex, Kevin and Neo,
'ssch' is a privileged I/O instruction, which should be finally issued
to the dedicated subchannel of the physical device.
BTW, I did remove step Q2 with all of the user-space translation code,
according to your comments in another thread.

We are different here. The target of an I/O instruction is the
subchannel. CCW devices don't have these kind of registers. The mediated
ccw device can not recognize such an submission by its own capbilities.
A CCW device does not have such registers in both the physical and the
mediated devices to sense or recognize the submission request. It's the
CPU that recognizes the submission by intercepting the guest ssch
instruction.
CPU can not tell if it is issued from a passed thru device driver or a
virtio device driver from the guest. So it has to exit to QEMU, and let
QEMU take over.
Once QEMU identifies the target subchannel is serving a passed thru
device, it uses the ioctl to pass the instruction parameters into the
kernel all the way along the mediated driver to the physical driver to
the subchannel to perform the I/O operation.

We don't have registers to sense an instruction or operation.

Dear Alex, Kevin and Neo,
'ssch' is a privileged I/O instruction, which should be finally issued
to the dedicated subchannel of the physical device.
BTW, I did remove step Q2 with all of the user-space translation code,
according to your comments in another thread.

We are different here. The target of an I/O instruction is the
subchannel. CCW devices don't have these kind of registers. The mediated
ccw device can not recognize such an submission by its own capbilities.
A CCW device does not have such registers in both the physical and the
mediated devices to sense or recognize the submission request. It's the
CPU that recognizes the submission by intercepting the guest ssch
instruction.
CPU can not tell if it is issued from a passed thru device driver or a
virtio device driver from the guest. So it has to exit to QEMU, and let
QEMU take over.
Once QEMU identifies the target subchannel is serving a passed thru
device, it uses the ioctl to pass the instruction parameters into the
kernel all the way along the mediated driver to the physical driver to
the subchannel to perform the I/O operation.

We don't have registers to sense an instruction or operation.

Hi Dong,
What actually has triggered the VM_EXIT to QEMU of that vCPU? Is it an MMIO
access of the "virtual device" inside guest?

Dear Neo,
It's not a MMIO access, but an I/O instruction.
Our cpu has a mode (like vt-x in the x86 world? I guess...) to oversee
the execution of programs in a virtual machine environment. Once the cpu
enters this mode, it commence execution of the guest program. It could
handle many aspects of an virtual machine, or, when for some
instructions if such handling is not provided, cpu will exit from this
mode. The I/O instruction 'ssch' is one kind of the instructions that
this cpu mode could not handle. So a ssch issued from the guest will
trigger the exit of this cpu mode with the exit_reason, and then the
vcpu gets the reason and exit to QEMU.

Hi Dong,
Thanks for the details.
Can you claim a MMIO region for your virtual device? If yes, then the I/O
instruction triggered VM_EXIT can be forward to your device by a pwrite from
QEMU thru this new region.

Hi Dong,
Thanks for the details.
Can you claim a MMIO region for your virtual device? If yes, then the I/O
instruction triggered VM_EXIT can be forward to your device by a pwrite from
QEMU thru this new region.

Ok, so it seems we need to create some sort of interface to initiate
the ccw program, but I suppose I'm not yet convinced that it needs a
new ioctl. For instance if you only need to "kick" the device to tell
it when to begin translation and execution, we could create a virtual
interrupt into the mediated device with an irqfd. QEMU writes to the
irqfd (eventfd), the mediated driver receives this kick and begins
processing. Another virtual interrupt out to the user might indicate
completion. On the other hand if the ioctl was intended to write the
ccw program itself to the device, we have vfio device regions that can
do this. Simply define within the vfio-ccw API that one of the regions
is a virtual program buffer and define the API between the mediated
driver and user the sequence of writes that load the program state,
initiate the program, and return the result.
The vfio API already has a very extensible mechanism for communicating
with a device through regions and interrupts, not all of which
necessarily need to match physical attributes of the device. ioctls
can be added, but lets exhaust the mechanisms we already have through
the vfio api first. Thanks,
Alex

Dear Alex and Neo,
I tried as what you suggested - add an MMIO region to the device, and
it works fine. It's an interesting and elegant way. I like it. :>
So indeed, we neither need to introduce a new ioctl command, nor the
ioctl callback on phy_device_ops.
Thanks!
