pasid cache, iotlb or dev_iotlb entries that are related to the bound
pgtable. the actual affected cache type and granularity (device-wide,

Although /dev/iommu v2 proposal is still in progress, I think there are
enough background gathered in v1 to resume this discussion now.
In a nutshell /dev/iommu requires two sets of services from the iommu
layer:
- for an kernel-managed I/O page table via map/unmap;
- for an user-managed I/O page table via bind/invalidate and nested on
a kernel-managed parent I/O page table;
Each I/O page table could be attached by multiple devices. /dev/iommu
maintains device specific routing information (RID, or RID+PASID) for
where to install the I/O page table in the IOMMU for each attached device.
Kernel-managed page table is represented by iommu domain. Existing
IOMMU-API allows /dev/iommu to attach a RID device to iommu domain.
A new interface is required, e.g. iommu_attach_device_pasid(domain, dev,
pasid), to cover (RID+PASID) attaching. Once attaching succeeds, no change
to following map/unmap which are domain-wide thus applied to both RID
and RID+PASID. In case of dev_iotlb invalidation is required, the iommu
driver is responsible for handling it for every attached RID or RID+PASID
if ats is enabled.
to take one example, the parent (RID1) has three work queues. WQ1 is
for parent's own DMA-API usage, with WQ2 (PASID-x) assigned to VM1
and WQ3 (PASID-y) assigned to VM2. VM2 is also assigned with another
device (RID2). In this case there are three kernel-managed I/O page
tables (IOVA in kernel, GPA for VM1 and GPA for VM2), thus RID1 is
attached to three domains:
RID1 --- domain1 (default, IOVA)
| |
| |-- [RID1]
|
|-- domain2 (vm1, GPA)
| |
| |-- [RID1, PASID-x]
|
|-- domain3 (vm2, GPA)
| |
| |-- [RID1, PASID-y]
| |
| |-- [RID2]
The iommu layer should maintain above attaching status per device and per
iommu domain. There is no mdev/subdev concept in the iommu layer. It's
just about RID or PASID.
User-manage I/O page table might be represented by a new object which
describes:
- routing information (RID or RID+PASID)
- pointer to iommu_domain of the parent I/O page table (inherit the
domain ID in iotlb due to nesting)
- address of the I/O page table
There might be chance to share the structure with native SVA which also
has page table managed outside of iommu subsystem. But we can leave
it and figure out until coding.
And a new set of IOMMU-API:
- iommu_{un}bind_pgtable(domain, dev, addr);
- iommu_{un}bind_pgtable_pasid(domain, dev, addr, pasid);
- iommu_cache_invalidate(domain, dev, invalid_info);
- and APIs for registering fault handler and completing faults;
(here 'domain' is the one representing the parent I/O page table)
Because nesting essentially creates a new reference to the parent I/O
page table, iommu_bind_pgtable_pasid() implicitly calls __iommu_attach_
device_pasid() to setup the connection between the parent domain and
the new [RID,PASID]. It's not necessary to do so for iommu_bind_pgtable()
since the RID is already attached when the parent I/O page table is created.
In consequence the example topology is updated as below, with guest
SVA enabled in both vm1 and vm2:
RID1 --- domain1 (default, IOVA)
| |
| |-- [RID1]
|
|-- domain2 (vm1, GPA)
| |
| |-- [RID1, PASID-x]
| |-- [RID1, PASID-a] // nested for vm1 process1
| |-- [RID1, PASID-b] // nested for vm1 process2
|
|-- domain3 (vm2, GPA)
| |
| |-- [RID1, PASID-y]
| |-- [RID1, PASID-c] // nested for vm2 process1
| |
| |-- [RID2]
| |-- [RID2, PASID-a] // nested for vm2 process2
Thoughts?

Ah sorry, the naming in the other thread for the uAPI seems to trended into the IOASID == what the kernel calls domain and what the kernel calls ioasid (the number) is just some subproperty. Nobody has come up with a better name to refer to an abstract io page table object.

Well we have lots, and every time you add new uAPI to kernel drivers to program an IOMMU domain you are making more. Frankly, the idea of having a PASID/substream ID that is entirely programmed by the kernel feels like using the thing wrong.. Why do this? The primary point of these things is to create a security boundary, but if the kernel already controls everything there isn't a security boundary to be had.

We were looking at the mdev code for inspiration, but directly using it was never the plan. Well: - Who maps memory into the IOASID (ie the specific sub stream id)? Sorry to nitpick, but I think it's important to get terminology right here to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding. You can't map memory into an address space ID; it's just a number. Ultimately that identifier ends up pointing at some actual address space, and most of the current work is focused on the case of that address space being provided by an mm where things are mapped implicitly by a userspace process; I care about the case of it being provided by an iommu_domain where things are mapped explicitly by a kernel driver. I would be extremely wary of creating some new third *address space* abstraction. - What memory must be mapped? - Who triggers DMA to this memory? It's a pretty typical DMA flow, as far as I understand. Userspace allocates some buffers (in this case, via the kernel driver, but in general I'm not sure it makes much difference), puts data in the buffers, issues an ioctl to say "process this data", and polls for completion; the kernel driver makes sure the buffers are mapped in the device address space (at allocation time in this case, but in general I assume it could equally be done at request time for user pages), and deals with scheduling requests onto the hardware. I understand this interface is already deployed in a driver stack which supports a single client process at once; extending the internals to allow requests from multiple processes to run in parallel using Substream IDs for isolation is the future goal. The interface itself shouldn't change, only some internal arbitration details. The driver simply needs to keep track of the domains and PASIDs - when a process submits some work, it can look up the relevant domain, iommu_map() the user pages to the right addresses, dma_map() them for coherency, then poke in the PASID as part of scheduling the work on the physical device. If you are doing stuff like this then the /dev/ioasid is what you actually want. The userprocess can create its own IOASID, program the io page tables for that IOASID to point to pages as it wants and then just hand over a fully instantiated io page table to the device driver. No. In our case, the device does not need to operate on userspace addresses, in fact quite the opposite. There may need to be additional things mapped into the device address space which are not, and should not be, visible to userspace. There are also some quite weird criteria for optimal address space layout which frankly are best left hidden inside the kernel driver. Said driver is already explicitly managing its own iommu_domain in the same manner as various DRM drivers and others, so growing that to multiple parallel domains really isn't a big leap. Moving any of this responsibility into userspace would be unwanted and unnecessary upheaval. What you are describing is the literal use case of /dev/ioasid - a clean seperation of managing the IOMMU related parts through /dev/ioasid and the device driver itself is only concerned with generating device DMA that has the proper PASID/substream tag. The entire point is to not duplicate all the iommu code you are describing having written into every driver that just wants an IOASID. In particular, you are talking about having a substream capable device and driver but your driver's uAPI is so limited it can't address the full range of substream configurations: - A substream pointing at a SVA - A substream pointing a IO page table nested under another - A substream pointing at an IOMMU page table shared by many users And more. Which is bad. None of which make much if any sense for the way this device and the rest of its software stack are designed to work, though. Anyway, the actual uAPI in question is essentially just chucking buffer fds about in a very abstract manner, so I don't see that it has any relevance here. We're talking about a kernel driver *internally* managing how it chooses to expose the buffers backing those fds to the hardware. SVA has no meaning in that context (there's nothing to share), and I don't even understand your second case, but attaching multiple SSIDs to a single domain is absolutely something which _could_ be done, there's just zero point in a single driver doing that

However it gets worked out at the kAPI level in the iommu layer the things you asked for are intended to be solved, and lots more.

If it is entirely within the kernel I'm confused how mdev gets involved? mdev is only for vfio which is userspace. By "mdev-like" I mean it's very similar in shape to the general SIOV-style mediated device concept - i.e. a physical device with an awareness of operating on multiple contexts at once, using a Substream ID/PASID for each one - but instead of exposing control of the contexts to anyone else, they remain hidden behind the kernel driver which already has its own abstracted uAPI, so overall it ends up as more just internal housekeeping than any actual mediation. We were looking at the mdev code for inspiration, but directly using it was never the plan. Just add some background. aux domain is used to support mdev but they are not tied together. [ yes, technically my comments are relevant to patch #4, but the discussion was here, so... :) ] Literally aux domain just implies that there could be multiple domains attached to a device then when one of them becomes the primary all the remaining are deemed as auxiliary. From this angle it doesn't matter whether the requirement of multiple domains come from user or kernel. You can't entirely use aux domain from inside the kernel because you can't compose it with the DMA API unless you also attach it to some struct device, and where will the struct device come from? DMA mapping would still be done using the physical device - where this model diverges from mdev is that it doesn't need to fake up a struct device to represent each context since they aren't exposed to anyone else. Assume the driver already has some kind of token to represent each client process, so it just allocates an iommu_domain for a client context and does an iommu_aux_attach_dev() to hook it up to some PASID (which again nobody else ever sees). The driver simply needs to keep track of the domains and PASIDs - when a process submits some work, it can look up the relevant domain, iommu_map() the user pages to the right addresses, dma_map() them for coherency, then poke in the PASID as part of scheduling the work on the physical device. We already talked about this on the "how to use PASID from the kernel" thread. Do you have a pointer to the right thread so I can catch up? It's not the easiest thing to search for on lore amongst all the other PASID-related business :( If Robin just wants to use a stream ID from a kernel driver then that API to make a PASID == RID seems like a better answer for kernel DMA than aux domains is. No, that's not the model - the device has a single Stream ID (RID), and it wants multiple Substream IDs (PASIDs) hanging off that for distinct client contexts; it can still generate non-PASID traffic for stuff like loading its firmware (the regular iommu_domain might be explicitly-managed or might be automatic via iommu-dma - it doesn’t really matter in this context). Aux domains really were a perfect fit conceptually, even if the edges were a bit rough. Now, much as I’d like a stable upstream solution, I can't argue based on this particular driver, since the PASID functionality is still in development, and there seems little likelihood of it being upstreamed either way (the driver belongs to a product team rather than the OSS group I'm part of; I'm just helping them with the SMMU angle). If designing something around aux domains is a dead-end then we (Arm) will probably just prototype our thing using downstream patches to the SMMU driver for now. However given the clear overlap

From this angle it doesn't matter whether the requirement of multiple domains come from user or kernel. btw I do realize the current aux domain design has some problem to support the new /dev/ioasid proposal (will send out soon, under internal review).

If it is entirely within the kernel I'm confused how mdev gets involved? mdev is only for vfio which is userspace. In any event, if you are kernel only it is not quite as big a deal to create what you need.

My recent work significantly eliminates the need for mdev at all, the remaining gaps have to do with the way mdev hackily overrides the iommu mechanisms in VFIO.

Jumping into this thread without context and basically rejecting all the conclusions that were reached over the last several weeks is really not helpful - especially since your objection is not technical. I think you should wait for Intel to put together the /dev/ioasid uAPI proposal and the example use cases it should address then you can give feedback there, with proper context. In this case the mdev specific auxdomain for PASID use is replaced by sane /dev/ioasid objects - and how that gets implemented through the iommu layer would still be a big TBD. Though I can't forsee any quality implementation of /dev/ioasid being driven by a one io page table per struct device scheme. Hopefully Intel will make the reasons why, and the use cases supporting the desgin, clear in their RFC. > To be clear, I agree that the aux-domain specifics should be removed > from the IOMMU-API, but the mdev-abstraction itself still makes sense.

There will be no drivers for that, but an mdev is a container for resources of a physical device which can be assigned to a virtual machine or a user-space process. In this way it fits very well into the existing abstractions. > PASID is a property of a PCI device and any PCI device driver should > be able to spawn PASIDs without silly restrictions. Some points here: 1) The concept of PASIDs is not limited to PCI devices. 2) An mdev is not a restriction. It is an abstraction with which other parts of the kernel can work. > Fixing the IOMMU API is clearly needed here to get a clean PASID > implementation in the kernel.

Passing an mm_struct to a device is another use-case for PASIDs, you should keep that in mind. The mdev abstraction was made for a different use-case.

When that is done the aux-specific functions can go away. Yuk, no. PASID is not connected to the driver model. It is inherently wrong to suggest this. PASID is a property of a PCI device and any PCI device driver should be able to spawn PASIDs without silly restrictions.

Intel is building a new uAPI and here IOASID is the word they picked to represent the IOVA address space.

The later requires either new parameters to existing functions or new functions. With the mdev abstraction no new functions are needed in the core API. Yes, I know, We have the AUX-domain specific functions now, but I suggested a while back to turn the mdev code into its own bus implementation and let the IOMMU driver deal with whether it has an mdev or a pdev. When that is done the aux-specific functions can go away. We are not there yet, but I think this is a cleaner abstraction than making the IOMMU-API ioasid-aware. Also because it separates the details of device-partitioning nicely from the IOMMU core code. > To juggle multiple IOASID per HW device the IOMMU API obviously has to > be made IOASID aware. It can't just blindly assume that a struct > device implies the single IOASID to use and hope for the best. The one-device<->one address-space idea is blindly assumed. Simply because the vast amount of devices out there work that way. When ioasids come into the game this changes of course, but we can work that out based on how the ioasids are used. For device partitioning the mdev abstraction work well if it is correctly implemented. The other use-case is device-access to user-space memory, and that is a completely different story. > IOASID represents the IOVA address space. No, when it comes to the IOMMU-API, a domain represents an address space. > Two concepts that represent the same thing is not great :) Agreed, so an IOASID should be an IOMMU-domain, if its not used for passing an mm_struct to a device.

Where do the domains come from though? You still have to hack hack all the drivers to create dummy domains to support this plan, and in the process PASID is pretty hobbled as an actual API if every PASID instance requires a wonky dummy struct device and domain. > btw are you OK with our ongoing uAPI proposal still based on domain > flavor for now? the uAPI semantics should be generic regardless of > how underlying iommu interfaces are designed. At least separate > uAPI discussion from iommu ops re-design. The most important thing is the uAPI, you don't get to change that later. The next most is the driver facing API. You can figure out the IOMMU layer internals in stages. Clearly IOASID == domain today as domain is kind of half a IOASID. When you extend to PASID and other stuff I think you have little choice but to make a full IOASID more first class. Dummy domains are a very poor substitute. In my experiance these kinds of transformations can usually be managed as "just alot of typing". Usually the old driver code structure can be kept enough to not break it while reorganizing.

But if want to let the 4 mdevs share the same page table, it would be natural to let them share a domain. Since mdev_device is not hw device, we should not let it participate in the IOMMU. Therefore we got the aux-domain concept. mdev(RID#+PASID) is attached to aux-domain. Such solution also fits the hybrid cases. e.g. When there are both PF(RID#1) and mdev(RID#2+PASID) assigned to an ioasid, they should share a page table as well. right? Surely we cannot attach the PF(RID#1) to the domain of mdev's parent device(RID#2). Good way is PF(RID#1) and the mdev (RID#2+PASID) attached to a single domain. This domain is the primary domain for the PF(RID#1) but an aux-domain mdev's paretn(RID#2). -- Regards, Yi Liu ___ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu

The IOASID is the page table. If you have one IOASID and you attach it to 4 IOMMU routings (be it pasid, rid, whatever) then there should only ever by one page table. The iommu driver should just point the iommu HW at the shared page table for each of the 4 routes and be done with it. At worst it has to replicate invalidates, but that is very HW dependent. Domain is just a half-completed-ioasid concept. It is today not flexible enough to be a true IOASID, but it still does hold the io page table. Basically your data structure is an IOASID. It holds a single HW specific page table. The IOASID has a list of RID and (RID,PASID) that are authorized to use it. The IOMMU HW is programed to match the RID/(RID,PASID) list and search the single page table. When the page table is changed the IOMMU is told to dump caches, however that works. When a device driver wants to use an IOASID it tells the iommu to setup the route, either RID or (RID,PASID). Setting the route causes the IOMMU driver to update the HW. The struct device has enough context to provide the RID and the IOMMU driver connection when operating on the IOASID.

Well, usually when people say stuff like that it means it is a hack.. Oh, this does look like a big hack, yes. /dev/ioasid is focused on IOASIDs. As an API you have to be able to use it to create all kinds of IOASID's *against a single HW struct device*. In this world you can't create domains for every struct device as hack to pass in the PASID. The IOASID itself must be an object that contains the HW struct device and the PASID. IOASID must be a first class object in the entire API. Remember, when a driver wants to connect to an IOASID it wants to make some very simple calls like: iommu_attach_ioasid_rid(_device->dev, ioasid_ptr); iommu_attach_ioasid_pasid(_device->dev, ioasid_ptr); Which is based *only* on what the PCI device does. If the device issues TLPs without PASID then the driver must use the first. If the device issues TLPs with a PASID then the driver must use the latter. There is no place for "domain as a carrier of PASID" there. mdev_device should NOT participate in the IOMMU layer because it is NOT a HW device. Trying to warp mdev_device into an IOMMU presence is already the source of a lot of this hacky code. To juggle multiple IOASID per HW device the IOMMU API obviously has to be made IOASID aware. It can't just blindly assume that a struct device implies the single IOASID to use and hope for the best. > The reason is that iommu domain represents an IOVA address > space shareable by multiple devices. It should be created at the > point where the address space is managed. IOASID represents the IOVA address space.

If only using physical domain of the parent + PASID it means there are 4 domains (thus 4 page tables) under this IOASID thus every dma map operation must be replicated in all 4 domains which is really unnecessary.

For /dev/ioasid it is just normal iommu domain. The only attention required is to tell the iommu layer whether this domain should be treated as 'aux' or 'primary' when attaching the domain to a device (based on pdev vs. mdev).

This avoids changing every iommu ops to include a PASID and forcing the upper-layer drivers to do it differently between pdev and mdev.

For nesting ioasid (e.g. ioasid1 on ioasid2), ioasid1 should inherit the domain from ioasid2. The reason is that iommu domain represents an IOVA address space shareable by multiple devices.

WQ1 is attached to domain1 for an IOVA space to support DMA API operations in parent driver. WQ2 is attached to domain2 for the GPA space of VM1.

Are you specially concerned about this iommu_device hack which directly connects mdev_device to iommu layer or the entire removed logic including the aux domain concept? For the former we are now following up the referred thread to find a clean way. But for the latter we feel it's still necessary regardless of how iommu interface is redesigned to support device connection from the upper level driver. The reason is that with mdev or subdevice one physical device could be attached to multiple domains now. there could be a primary domain with DOMAIN_ DMA type for DMA_API use by parent driver itself, and multiple auxiliary domains with DOMAIN_UNMANAGED types for subdevices assigned to different VMs. In this case It's a different model from existing policy which allows only one domain per device. In removed code we followed Joerg's suggestion to keep existing iommu_attach_device for connecting device to the primary domain and then add new iommu_aux_attach_ device for connecting device to auxiliary domains. Lots of removed iommu code deal with the management of auxiliary domains in the iommu core layer and intel-iommu drivers, which imho is largely generic and could be leveraged w/o intrusive refactoring to support redesigned iommu interface. Does it sound a reasonable position? Thanks Kevin ___ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
