[Impact]
Using nvme hardware that uses swiotlb in confidential VMs can encounter
hardware read/write errors.
[Fix]
The following upstream patches address this:
3d2d861eb03e nvme-pci: set min_align_mask
1f221a0d0dbf swiotlb: respect min_align_mask
16fc3cef33a0 swiotlb: don't modify orig_addr in swiotlb_tbl_sync_single
26a7e094783d swiotlb: refactor swiotlb_tbl_map_single
ca10d0f8e530 swiotlb: clean up swiotlb_tbl_unmap_single
c32a77fd1878 swiotlb: factor out a nr_slots helper
c7fbeca757fe swiotlb: factor out an io_tlb_offset helper
b5d7ccb7aac3 swiotlb: add a IO_TLB_SIZE define
[Test]
Using a confidential VM, with 'swiotlb=force' set on the kernel command
line, and an additional swiotlb nvme device attached:
$ sudo mkfs.xfs -f /dev/nvme2n1
meta-data=/dev/nvme2n1 isize=512 agcount=4, agsize=131072 blks
= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1
= crc=1 finobt=1, sparse=0, rmapbt=0, refl
ink=0
data = bsize=4096 blocks=524288, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks
naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 ftype=1
log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=2560, version=2
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
mkfs.xfs: pwrite failed: Input/output error
Note the input/output error
The error no longer happens with the fixes applied.
