"Stage" corresponds to +the ARM terminology while "level" corresponds to Intel's VTD terminology. In +the following text we use either without distinction. + +This is useful when the guest is exposed with a virtual IOMMU and some +devices are assigned to the guest through VFIO. Then the guest OS can use +stage 1 (IOVA -> GPA), while the hypervisor uses stage 2 for VM isolation +(GPA -> HPA). + +The guest gets ownership of the stage 1 page tables and also owns stage 1 +configuration structures. The hypervisor owns the root configuration structure +(for security reason), including stage 2 configuration. This works as long +configuration structures and page table format are compatible between the +virtual IOMMU and the physical IOMMU. + +Assuming the HW supports it, this nested mode is selected by choosing the +VFIO_TYPE1_NESTING_IOMMU type through: + +ioctl(container, VFIO_SET_IOMMU, VFIO_TYPE1_NESTING_IOMMU); + +This forces the hypervisor to use the stage 2, leaving stage 1 available for +guest usage. + +Once groups are attached to the container, the guest stage 1 translation +configuration data can be passed to VFIO by using + +ioctl(container, VFIO_IOMMU_SET_PASID_TABLE, &pasid_table_info); + +This allows to combine the guest stage 1 configuration structure along with +the hypervisor stage 2 configuration structure. Stage 1 configuration +structures are dependent on the IOMMU type. + +As the stage 1 translation is fully delegated to the HW, translation faults +encountered during the translation process need to be propagated up to +the virtualizer and re-injected into the guest. + +The userspace must be prepared to receive faults. The VFIO-PCI device +exposes one dedicated DMA FAULT region: it contains a ring buffer and +its header that allows to manage the head/tail indices. The region is +identified by the following index/subindex: +- VFIO_REGION_TYPE_NESTED/VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_NESTED_DMA_FAULT + +The DMA FAULT region exposes a VFIO_REGION_INFO_CAP_PRODUCER_FAULT +region capability that allows the userspace to retrieve the ABI version +of the fault records filled by the host. + +On top of that region, the userspace can be notified whenever a fault +occurs at the physical level. It can use the VFIO_IRQ_TYPE_NESTED/ +VFIO_IRQ_SUBTYPE_DMA_FAULT specific IRQ to attach the eventfd to be +signalled. + +The ring buffer containing the fault records can be mmapped. When +the userspace consumes a fault in the queue, it should increment +the consumer index to allow new fault records to replace the used ones. + +The queue size and the entry size can be retrieved in the header. +The tail index should never overshoot the producer index as in any +other circular buffer scheme. Also it must be less than the queue size +otherwise the change fails. + +When the guest invalidates stage 1 related caches, invalidations must be +forwarded to the host through +ioctl(container, VFIO_IOMMU_CACHE_INVALIDATE, &inv_data); +Those invalidations can happen at various granularity levels, page, context, ... + +The ARM SMMU specification introduces another challenge: MSIs are translated by +both the virtual SMMU and the physical SMMU. To build a nested mapping for the +IOVA programmed into the assigned device, the guest needs to pass its IOVA/MSI +doorbell GPA binding to the host. Then the hypervisor can build a nested stage 2 +binding eventually translating into the physical MSI doorbell. + +This is achieved by calling +ioctl(container, VFIO_IOMMU_SET_MSI_BINDING, &guest_binding); + VFIO User API ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 2.20.1 _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
