[PATCH v4 0/6] virtio core DMA API conversion

[PATCH v4 0/6] virtio core DMA API conversion

[Andy Lutomirski]

This switches virtio to use the DMA API unconditionally.  I'm sure
it breaks things, but it seems to work on x86 using virtio-pci, with
and without Xen, and using both the modern 1.0 variant and the
legacy variant.

This appears to work on native and Xen x86_64 using both modern and
legacy virtio-pci.  It also appears to work on arm and arm64.

It definitely won't work as-is on s390x, and I haven't been able to
test Christian's patches because I can't get virtio-ccw to work in
QEMU at all.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

It doesn't work on ppc64.  Ben, consider yourself pinged to send me
a patch :)

It doesn't work on sparc64.  I didn't realize at Kernel Summit that
sparc64 has the same problem as ppc64.

DaveM, for background, we're trying to fix virtio to use the DMA
API.  That will require that every platform that uses virtio
supplies valid DMA operations on devices that use virtio_ring.
Unfortunately, QEMU historically ignores the IOMMU on virtio
devices.

On x86, this isn't really a problem.  x86 has a nice way for the
platform to describe which devices are behind an IOMMU, and QEMU
will be adjusted accordingly.  The only thing that will break is a
recently-added experimental mode.

Ben's plan for powerpc is to add a quirk for existing virtio-pci
devices and to eventually update the devicetree stuff to allow QEMU
to tell the guest which devices use the IOMMU.

AFAICT sparc has a similar problem to powerpc.  DaveM, can you come
up with a straightforward way to get sparc's DMA API to work
correctly for virtio-pci devices?

NB: Sadly, the platforms I've successfully tested on don't include any
big-endian platforms, so there could still be lurking endian problems.

Changes from v3:
 - More big-endian fixes.
 - Added better virtio-ring APIs that handle allocation and use them in
   virtio-mmio and virtio-pci.
 - Switch to Michael's virtio-net patch.

Changes from v2:
 - Fix vring_mapping_error incorrect argument

Changes from v1:
 - Fix an endian conversion error causing a BUG to hit.
 - Fix a DMA ordering issue (swiotlb=force works now).
 - Minor cleanups.

[PATCH v4 1/6] virtio-net: Stop doing DMA from the stack

[Andy Lutomirski]

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

Once virtio starts using the DMA API, we won't be able to safely DMA
from the stack.  virtio-net does a couple of config DMA requests
from small stack buffers -- switch to using dynamically-allocated
memory.

This should have no effect on any performance-critical code paths.

[I wrote the subject and commit message.  mst wrote the code. --luto]

[PATCH v4 2/6] virtio_ring: Support DMA APIs

[Andy Lutomirski]

virtio_ring currently sends the device (usually a hypervisor)
physical addresses of its I/O buffers.  This is okay when DMA
addresses and physical addresses are the same thing, but this isn't
always the case.  For example, this never works on Xen guests, and
it is likely to fail if a physical "virtio" device ever ends up
behind an IOMMU or swiotlb.

The immediate use case for me is to enable virtio on Xen guests.
For that to work, we need vring to support DMA address translation
as well as a corresponding change to virtio_pci or to another
driver.

With this patch, if enabled, virtfs survives kmemleak and
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG.

[PATCH v4 3/6] virtio_pci: Use the DMA API

[Andy Lutomirski]

This fixes virtio-pci on platforms and busses that have IOMMUs.  This
will break the experimental QEMU Q35 IOMMU support until QEMU is
fixed.  In exchange, it fixes physical virtio hardware as well as
virtio-pci running under Xen.

We should clean up the virtqueue API to do its own allocation and
teach virtqueue_get_avail and virtqueue_get_used to return DMA
addresses directly.

[PATCH v4 4/6] virtio: Add improved queue allocation API

[Andy Lutomirski]

This leaves vring_new_virtqueue alone for compatbility, but it
adds two new improved APIs:

vring_create_virtqueue: Creates a virtqueue backed by automatically
allocated coherent memory.  (Some day it this could be extended to
support non-coherent memory, too, if there ends up being a platform
on which it's worthwhile.)

__vring_new_virtqueue: Creates a virtqueue with a manually-specified
layout.  This should allow mic_virtio to work much more cleanly.

Ugh.  The two virtio_pci patches should be squashed together.  I'll do
that for v5, but I'm not going to send it until there's more feedback.

FWIW, I'm collecting this stuff here:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/log/?h=virtio_dma

That branch includes this series (with the squash) and the s390
patches.  I'll keep it up to date, since it seems silly to declare it
stable enough to stop rebasing yet.

This one needs to be virtio32_to_cpu(...) as well.

With that change on top of your current branch, I can boot (root on
virtio-blk, either virtio-1 or legacy virtio) on current qemu master
with kvm enabled on s390. Haven't tried anything further.

Well that's not exactly true. I think we would like to make
it possible to put virtio devices behind an IOMMU on x86,
but if this means existing guests break, then many people won't be able
to use this option: having to find out which kernel version your guest
is running is a significant burden.


So on the host side, we need to detect guests that
don't program the IOMMU and make QEMU ignore it.
I think we need to figure out a way to do this
before we commit to the guest change.

Additionally, IOMMU overhead is very high when running within the VM.
So for uses such as VFIO, we'd like a way to make something like
iommu-pt the default.

What is the usecase for putting virtio devices behind an IOMMU, apart from:

1) "because you can"

2) using VFIO within the guest

?  Case 1 can be ignored, and in case 2 the guest will do the right thing.

That's not something that the kernel cares about.  It's just a
configuration issue.

Re: [PATCH v4 0/6] virtio core DMA API conversion

So ...

I've finally tried to sort that out for powerpc and I can't find a way
to make that work that isn't a complete pile of stinking shit.

I'm very tempted to go back to my original idea: virtio itself should
indicate it's "bypassing ability" via the virtio config space or some
other bit (like the ProgIf of the PCI header etc...).

I don't see how I can make it work otherwise.

The problem with the statement "it's a platform matter" is that:

  - It's not entirely correct. It's actually a feature of a specific
virtio implementation (qemu's) that it bypasses all the platform IOMMU
facilities.

  - The platforms (on powerpc there's at least 3 or 4 that have qemu
emulation and support some form of PCI) don't have an existing way to
convey the information that a device bypasses the IOMMU (if any).

  - Even if we add such a mechanism (new property in the device-tree),
we end up with a big turd: Because we need to be compatible with older
qemus, we essentially need a quirk that will make all virtio devices
assume that property is present. That will of course break whenever we
try to use another implementation of virtio on powerpc which doesn't
bypass the iommu.

We don't have a way to differenciate a virtio device that does the
bypass from one that doesn't and the backward compatibility requirement
forces us to treat all existing virtio devices as doing bypass.

The only way out of this while keeping the "platform" stuff would be to
also bump some kind of version in the virtio config (or PCI header). I
have no other way to differenciate between "this is an old qemu that
doesn't do the 'bypass property' yet" from "this is a virtio device
that doesn't bypass".

Any better idea ?

Cheers,
Ben.

The problem here is that in some of the problematic cases the virtio
driver may not even be loaded.  If someone runs an L1 guest with an
IOMMU-bypassing virtio device and assigns it to L2 using vfio, then
*boom* L1 crashes.  (Same if, say, DPDK gets used, I think.)

I'd suggest that, in the absence of the new DT binding, we assume that
any PCI device with the virtio vendor ID is passthrough on powerpc.  I
can do this in the virtio driver, but if it's in the platform code
then vfio gets it right too (i.e. fails to load).

The problem is there isn't *a* virtio vendor ID. It's the RedHat vendor
ID which will be used by more than just virtio, so we need to
specifically list the devices.

Additionally, that still means that once we have a virtio device that
actually uses the iommu, powerpc will not work since the "workaround"
above will kick in.

The "in absence of the new DT binding" doesn't make that much sense.

Those platforms use device-trees defined since the dawn of ages by
actual open firmware implementations, they either have no iommu
representation in there (Macs, the platform code hooks it all up) or
have various properties related to the iommu but no concept of "bypass"
in there.

We can *add* a new property under some circumstances that indicates a
bypass on a per-device basis, however that doesn't completely solve it:

  - As I said above, what does the absence of that property mean ? An
old qemu that does bypass on all virtio or a new qemu trying to tell
you that the virtio device actually does use the iommu (or some other
environment that isn't qemu) ?

  - On things like macs, the device-tree is generated by openbios, it
would have to have some added logic to try to figure that out, which
means it needs to know *via different means* that some or all virtio
devices bypass the iommu.

I thus go back to my original statement, it's a LOT easier to handle if
the device itself is self describing, indicating whether it is set to
bypass a host iommu or not. For L1->L2, well, that wouldn't be the
first time qemu/VFIO plays tricks with the passed through device
configuration space...

Note that the above can be solved via some kind of compromise: The
device self describes the ability to honor the iommu, along with the
property (or ACPI table entry) that indicates whether or not it does.

IE. We could use the revision or ProgIf field of the config space for
example. Or something in virtio config. If it's an "old" device, we
know it always bypass. If it's a new device, we know it only bypasses
if the corresponding property is in. I still would have to sort out the
openbios case for mac among others but it's at least a workable
direction.

BTW. Don't you have a similar problem on x86 that today qemu claims
that everything honors the iommu in ACPI ?

Unless somebody can come up with a better idea...

Cheers,
Ben.

Really?

/* Qumranet donated their vendor ID for devices 0x1000 thru 0x10FF. */
static const struct pci_device_id virtio_pci_id_table[] = {
        { PCI_DEVICE(0x1af4, PCI_ANY_ID) },
        { 0 }
};

Can we match on that range?

I don't know how to solve that problem, though, especially since the
vendor of such a device (especially if it's real hardware) might not
set any new bit.

Which leaves the special case of Xen, where even preexisting devices
don't bypass the IOMMU.  Can we keep this specific to powerpc and
sparc?  On x86, this problem is basically nonexistent, since the IOMMU
is properly self-describing.

IOW, I think that on x86 we should assume that all virtio devices
honor the IOMMU.

Only on a single experimental configuration, and that can apparently
just be fixed going forward without any real problems being caused.

We can, but the problem remains, how do we differenciate an existing
device that does bypass vs. a newer one that needs the IOMMU and thus
doesn't have the new "bypass" property in the device-tree.

This should have basically no effect.  Every non-experimental x86
virtio setup in existence either doesn't work at all (Xen) or has DMA
ops that are no-ops.

We could do it the other way around: on powerpc, if a PCI device is in
that range and doesn't have the "bypass" property at all, then it's
assumed to bypass the IOMMU.  This means that everything that
currently works continues working.  If someone builds a physical
virtio device or uses another system in PCIe target mode speaking
virtio, then it won't work until they upgrade their firmware to set
bypass=0.  Meanwhile everyone using hypothetical new QEMU also gets
bypass=0 and no ambiguity.

vfio will presumably notice the bypass and correctly refuse to map any
current virtio devices.

Would that work?

BTW, I once tried to describe the current situation on QEMU x86 with
IOMMU enabled via ACPI. While you can easily add IOMMU device exceptions
to the static tables, the fun starts when considering device hotplug for
virtio. Unless I missed some trick, ACPI doesn't seem like being
designed for that level of flexibility.

You would have to reserve a complete PCI bus, declare that one as not
being IOMMU-governed, and then only add new virtio devices to that bus.
Possible, but a lot of restrictions that existing management software
would have to be aware of as well.

You have the same problem when real PCIe devices appear that speak
virtio. I think the only real (still not very nice) solution is to add a
quirk to powerpc platform code that sets noop dma-ops for the existing
virtio vendor/device-ids and add a DT property to opt-out of that quirk.

New vendor/device-ids (as for real devices) would just not be covered by
the quirk and existing emulated devices continue to work.

The absence of the property just means that the quirk is in place and
the system assumes no translation for virtio devices.

That would be extremely strange from a platform perspective. Any device
in that vendor/device range would bypass the iommu unless some new
property "actually-works-like-a-real-pci-device" happens to exist in
the device-tree, which we would then need to define somewhere and
handle accross at least 3 different platforms who get their device-tree 
from widly different places.

Also if tomorrow I create a PCI device that implements virtio-net and
put it in a machine running IBM proprietary firmware (or Apple's or
Sun's), it won't have that property...

This is not hypothetical. People are using virtio to do point-to-point
communication between machines via PCIe today.

Cheers,
Ben.

Then we are back to virtio driver telling DMA core
whether it wants a 1:1 mapping in the iommu?
If that's acceptable to others, I don't think that's too bad.

But not virtio-pci I think - that's broken for that usecase since we use
weaker barriers than required for real IO, as these have measureable
overhead.  We could have a feature "is a real PCI device",
that's completely reasonable.

Does that work on powerpc on existing kernels?

Anyway, here's another crazy idea: make the quirk assume that the
IOMMU is bypasses if and only if the weak barriers bit is set on
systems that are missing the new DT binding.

Why woud real devices use new vendor/device IDs ? Also there are other
cases such as using virtio between 2 partitions, which we could do
under PowerVM ... that would require proper iommu usage with existing
IDs.

The only way that works forward for me (and possibly sparc & others,
what about ARM ?) is if we *change* something in virtio qemu at the
same time as we add some kind of property. For example the ProgIf field
or revision ID field.

That way I can key on that change.

It's still tricky because I would have to somewhat tell my various firmwares
(SLOF, OpenBIOS, OPAL, ...) so they can create the appropriate property, it's
still hacky, but it would be workable.

Ben.

Do we use weaker barriers on the Linux driver side ? I didn't think so
...

"New DT bindings" doesn't mean much ... how do we change DT bindings on
existing machines with a FW in flash ?

What about partition <-> partition virtio such as what we could do on
PAPR systems. That would have the weak barrier bit.

Is it partition <-> partition, bypassing IOMMU?

I think I'd settle for just something that doesn't regress
non-experimental setups that actually work today and that allow new
setups (x86 with fixed QEMU and maybe something more complicated on
powerpc and/or sparc) to work in all cases.

We could certainly just make powerpc and sparc continue bypassing the
IOMMU until someone comes up with a way to fix it.  I'll send out some
patches that do that, and maybe that'll help this make progress.

But we haven't found a solution that works. All we have come up with is
a quirk that will force bypass on virtio always and will not allow us
to operate non-bypassing devices on either of those architectures in
the future.

I'm not too happy about this.

Ben.

Me neither.  At least it wouldn't be a regression, but it's still crappy.

I think that arm is fine, at least.  I was unable to find an arm QEMU
config that has any problems with my patches.

Ok, give me a few days for my headache & fever to subside see if I can
find something better. David, no idea from your side ? :-)
