vfio: support notifier chain in vfio_group

2016-12-01T17:40:05+00:00

Beyond vfio_iommu events, users might also be interested in
vfio_group events. For example, if a vfio_group is used along
with Qemu/KVM, whenever kvm pointer is set to/cleared from the
vfio_group, users could be notified.

Currently only VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM supported.

vfio: vfio_register_notifier: classify iommu notifier

2016-12-01T16:38:47+00:00

Currently vfio_register_notifier assumes that there is only one
notifier chain, which is in vfio_iommu. However, the user might
also be interested in events other than vfio_iommu, for example,
vfio_group. Refactor vfio_{un}register_notifier implementation
to make it feasible.

vfio: Introduce vfio_set_irqs_validate_and_prepare()

2016-11-17T15:33:20+00:00

Vendor driver using mediated device framework would use same mechnism to
validate and prepare IRQs. Introducing this function to reduce code
replication in multiple drivers.

vfio: Introduce common function to add capabilities

2016-11-17T15:33:20+00:00

Vendor driver using mediated device framework should use
vfio_info_add_capability() to add capabilities.
Introduced this function to reduce code duplication in vendor drivers.

vfio_info_cap_shift() manipulated a data buffer to add an offset to each
element in a chain. This data buffer is documented in a uapi header.
Changing vfio_info_cap_shift symbol to be available to all drivers.

vfio iommu: Add blocking notifier to notify DMA_UNMAP

2016-11-17T15:33:07+00:00

Added blocking notifier to IOMMU TYPE1 driver to notify vendor drivers
about DMA_UNMAP.
Exported two APIs vfio_register_notifier() and vfio_unregister_notifier().
Notifier should be registered, if external user wants to use
vfio_pin_pages()/vfio_unpin_pages() APIs to pin/unpin pages.
Vendor driver should use VFIO_IOMMU_NOTIFY_DMA_UNMAP action to invalidate
mappings.

vfio iommu: Added pin and unpin callback functions to vfio_iommu_driver_ops

2016-11-17T15:24:58+00:00

Added APIs for pining and unpining set of pages. These call back into
backend iommu module to actually pin and unpin pages.
Added two new callback functions to struct vfio_iommu_driver_ops. Backend
IOMMU module that supports pining and unpinning pages for mdev devices
should provide these functions.

Renamed static functions in vfio_type1_iommu.c to resolve conflicts

vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode

2015-12-21T22:28:11+00:00

There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a DMA
capable device without an IOMMU to protect the host system.  There is
also no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as device
assignment to virtual machines.  However, there are still those users
that want userspace drivers even under those conditions.  The UIO
driver exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of
device access and programming that VFIO has.  In an effort to avoid
code duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO.

This mode requires building VFIO with CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and enabling
the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode" option on the vfio driver.  This
should make it very clear that this mode is not safe.  Additionally,
CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges are necessary to work with groups and
containers using this mode.  Groups making use of this support are
named /dev/vfio/noiommu-$GROUP and can only make use of the special
VFIO_NOIOMMU_IOMMU for the container.  Use of this mode, specifically
binding a device without a native IOMMU group to a VFIO bus driver
will taint the kernel and should therefore not be considered
supported.  This patch includes no-iommu support for the vfio-pci bus
driver only.

Revert: "vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode"

2015-12-04T15:38:42+00:00

Revert commit 033291eccbdb ("vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode") due to lack
of a user.  This was originally intended to fill a need for the DPDK
driver, but uptake has been slow so rather than support an unproven
kernel interface revert it and revisit when userspace catches up.
