[PATCH 0/5] IOMMU: Make IOMMU-API ready for GART-like hardware

[PATCH 0/5] IOMMU: Make IOMMU-API ready for GART-like hardware

[Joerg Roedel]

Hi,

this patch-set adds two new functions the the IOMMU-API:

	* iommu_domain_set_attr()
	* iommu_domain_get_attr()

These are generic functions to set and change attributes of a domain.
The plan is to have a set of generic attributes implemented by more than
one IOMMU driver as well as driver specific ones. As an example for the
first type this patch-set also implements the DOMAIN_ATTR_GEOMETRY
attribute. It can be used to query information about the address space
window that can be remapped by the iommu hardware. With this attribute
is is very easy to support IOMMUs like GART and friends.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks,

	Joerg

[PATCH 1/5] iommu: Add domain-attribute handlers

[Joerg Roedel]

This patch introduces an extension to the iommu-api to get
and set attributes for an iommu_domain. Two functions are
introduced for this:

	* iommu_domain_get_attr()
	* iommu_domain_set_attr()

These functions will be used to make the iommu-api suitable
for GART-like IOMMUs and to implement hardware-specifc
api-extensions.

Would it make sense to use a platform-dependent type that represents physical 
addresses instead of u64 ?

Well, u64 is a catch-all datatype which should suit all drivers. Is this
a problem at ARM? We can also go the more complicated way of introducing
an iova_addr_t or something. But if possible I would like to avoid that.

No, it's not a problem for ARM, at least to my knowledge. It just struck me as 
weird, as we have specific data types for other kinds of addresses (such as 
dma_addr_t).

"dma_addr_t" sounds nicer(and makes still sense) to me than a new "iova_addr_t".

Okay, I looked at the definition and dma_addr_t seems like a good fit.
To be consistent we should change the iova type of the map/unmap
functions to dma_addr_t too.

This change is certainly required in the iommu API map/unmap calls.

If we want to be able to expose these attribute structs to userspace via
vfio, we'll want to stick with fixed size types.

In case of our iommu implementation the iommu_domain_geometry would include additional attributes. Why can't we let the geometry be
Implementation dependent?

Because the values in this generic geometry-struct make sense for more
than one IOMMU (short-term for Tegra GART and Freescale PAMU). If you
have additional vendor-specific ones you could add them via a
vendor-specific attribute.

Freescale PAMU is the IOMMU that Varun is talking about, that needs
additional geometry attributes (in particular, subwindow count).

How should a PAMU driver interpret "force_aperture"?  When would DMA
ever be allowed outside the specified range?  What does the range mean
in that case?

This can be solved by a PAMU specific attribute.

The force_aperture flag indicated whether DMA is only allowed between
aperture_start and apertuer_end or if DMA is allowed outside of this
range too (unmapped in this case).

The AMD GART for example would set this flag to false because it does
not enforce DMA to be in the aperture-range.

Why is this not an AMD GART specific attribute?  Is there any feature
reporting mechanism by which a user would know if that flag is supported?

If it must be in the generic struct, it would be nice to invert the
polarity so that the default (after zeroing) is something that should be
more widely supportable, and less likely to create unintended identity
mappings.

How in general are available attributes and restrictions on possible
values to be communicated to users of the API?

Because this is a flag that makes sense for all IOMMU. Every IOMMU
either allows DMA outside its aperture or it doesn't.

Another reason why it must be in the generic struct is the intended
generic dma-ops layer on-top. This code can decide on this flag wheter a
address needs to be remapped at all.

Setting this flag wrong does not create unintended identity mappings.

The possible attributes can be found in inlude/linux/iommu.h. But I
don't understand what you mean by 'restrictions on possible values'. The
geometry attribute is filled by the IOMMU driver dependent on the
hardware capabilities. There are no limits from the iommu-code side.

So the DMA API would just read this, not write it?

Still no reason why it couldn't be a separate attribute.  Then if you
get a failure trying to write it, it's more obvious why.

Failing to set it means that DMA can go through that is not limited to
explicitly created mappings.  In some contexts (e.g. vfio) this is a
security hole.

The whole geometry thing is only implemented on the read side. There is
no implementation in domain_set_attr for it. So the geometry
information is read-only by default.

This would mean iommu specific hacks, which are not necessary in this
case.

No, when the hardware does not allow this, then software can't enforce
it. Again, the whole geometry attribute is only for iommu drivers to
export what the hardware can do. It is not for software to configure the
iommu driver.

We will need to be able to set this, for some vfio+kvm uses.

Why would making it a separate generic attribute require iommu specific

OK, it looked like an option that could be enabled or disabled --
because I didn't realize you were considering geometry as read-only.

So how would a vfio user set up the iommu so a kvm guest sees iova ==
guest physical, for at least its main memory, if the default aperture
doesn't cover it?

We also will gain performance by being able to set custom geometry,
because we will not be as hard on the IOMMU cache if we can use fewer,
larger subwindows.

It's not configuring the iommu driver, just this particular domain.

Well, we have things like stash target (automatic cache prefetch after
DMA) configuration, but in this case I was thinking about restrictions
on what kind of aperture you can set, and what sort of mappings you can
create with the result.

On current Freescale PAMUs, the aperture must be a size-aligned
power-of-two region, which is carved into up to 256 equal-size
subwindows.  A mapping can be any power of 2 up to the subwindow size,
but its iova must be the subwindow start address.

We cannot just say "oh look, an aperture from here to there, we can
create all the mappings we want within that space", at least not with an
aperture over 1 MiB (256 contiguous 4k subwindows).

Yes, the dma-ops code needs this information to decide whether remapping
is required at all and where the remap window is.

That's fine. Just implement a handler for it in the driver-specific
set_attr callback then.

Because the dma-ops code needs something like

	iommu_domain_get_attr(domain, GART_ATTR_FORCE_APERTURE, data);

to check it. I call this a hack because the dma-ops code asks if it runs
on a specific hardware. This is not necessary here.

It is indeed read-only for most iommus and the dma-ops code only needs
to read this information. And it is necessary for the iommu-api user to
get this information when we want to support iommus that have a limited
remapping-window for each domain.

No problem if you also implement the write-side for your implementation.

The stash target is a perfect fit for a PAMU specific domain attribute.

OK, so there's a geometry that is read-only, and potentially a
driver-specific geometry that is read/write.  The default config for
PAMU would likely be a 1 MiB aperture in which the dma api can do
arbitrary 4k mappings -- this fits within the get generic geometry
operation.

Should generic get geometry return an error if the driver-specific
geometry has been set to something that doesn't fit within the generic
geometry model?

I said a generic attribute (not GART specific) -- but if we're never
going to use the generic geometry struct for a set operation, bundling
it should be OK.

Better: There is a read-only geometry for _all_ IOMMUs. Some IOMMUs may
also allow to write the geometry, like PAMU.

A domain can only have one geometry. So if you set a new geometry
subsequent calls to get_attr will return the new geometry.

The generic struct should be used to set the geometry. But you can read
out the old geometry and set force_aperture to the same value in the new
geometry. Drivers should actually return -EINVAL when the user tries to
set an unsupported value for force_aperture.

> No, at this point I'm just trying to follow the API development while

Okay, maybe it is better to follow a 'release early, release often'
model here. So we can work out the issues together.

But we do not want to use this struct for writing.  We do not want
force_aperture to be settable (we could error if it's set incorrectly,
but that's unpleasant -- and what happens if another attribute is added
in the future?  There would otherwise be no reason to do a get-geometry
first).  We do want to be able to set subwindows and would prefer (but
don't insist) that it be one atomic operation to set
start/end/subwindows.  For PAMU you really shouldn't be setting
start/end if you aren't going to set the subwindow count.  I don't see
what real benefit we get by reusing the generic geometry struct here --
we're not giving up any opportunities for common code.

But the implementation may support geometries that are not expressable
with the generic struct.  As soon as you set an aperture larger than 1
MiB we cannot support arbitrary mappings within the aperture.  If we
return a generic geometry showing the larger aperture, that would
mislead generic users.

The geometry should be reset when the iommu is taken away from one user
(e.g. vfio) and given to another (e.g. dma api), so the dma api should
never see the error unless something has gone wrong (in which case it's
better to flag the error early).

Wouldn't errors be less likely, and easier to diagnose, if
force_aperture weren't part of the struct in the first place?

If the idea is to keep attributes as granular as practical, it seems the
bundling goes against that.  If that isn't a goal, then I don't see the
problem with the PAMU geometry bundling start/end with subwindows.

Can you please explain how would IOMMU remapping be used, based on the force_aperture flag.

If force_aperture is flase the dma-api code needs to check if remapping
is required at all. It performs the following checks:

	* Does the physical address of the buffer not overlap with the
	  aperture?
	* Fits the buffer into the device's dma address mask?

If both questions are answered with yes no remapping is required and
dma-api just returns the physical address. Otherwise it calls into the
dma-api to create a mapping.

For Tegra GART & SMMU, this info is passed from board files as
resource data via "platform_get_resource(,IORESOURCE_MEM,)". I think
that this could be the attachement patch in Tegra case. The attached
patches are based on the following post.

I will start merging new patches next week. These patches are on my
list. Once we have settled on a version of the patches in this thread I
also apply your posted addtion.
