This small series adds support for IOMMU dirty tracking support via the
IOMMUFD backend. The hardware capability is available on most recent x86
hardware. The series is divided organized as follows:
* Patch 1: Fixes a regression into mdev support with IOMMUFD. This
one is independent of the series but happened to cross it
while testing mdev with this series
* Patch 2: Adds a support to iommufd_get_device_info() for capabilities
* Patches 3 - 7: IOMMUFD backend support for dirty tracking;
Introduce auto domains -- Patch 3 goes into more detail, but the gist is that
we will find and attach a device to a compatible IOMMU domain, or allocate a new
hardware pagetable *or* rely on kernel IOAS attach (for mdevs). Afterwards the
workflow is relatively simple:
1) Probe device and allow dirty tracking in the HWPT
2) Toggling dirty tracking on/off
3) Read-and-clear of Dirty IOVAs
The heuristics selected for (1) were to always request the HWPT for
dirty tracking if supported, or rely on device dirty page tracking. This
is a little simplistic and we aren't necessarily utilizing IOMMU dirty
tracking even if we ask during hwpt allocation.
The unmap case is deferred until further vIOMMU support with migration
is added[3] which will then introduce the usage of
IOMMU_HWPT_GET_DIRTY_BITMAP_NO_CLEAR in GET_DIRTY_BITMAP ioctl in the
dma unmap bitmap flow.
* Patches 8-10: Don't block live migration where there's no VF dirty
tracker, considering that we have IOMMU dirty tracking.
Comments and feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
Joao
P.S. Suggest linux-next (or future v6.11) as hypervisor kernel as there's
some bugs fixed there with regards to IOMMU hugepage dirty tracking.
Changes since RFCv2[4]:
* Always allocate hwpt with IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC_DIRTY_TRACKING even if
we end up not actually toggling dirty tracking. (Avihai)
* Fix error handling widely in auto domains logic and all patches (Avihai)
* Reuse iommufd_backend_get_device_info() for capabilities (Zhenzhong)
* New patches 1 and 2 taking into consideration previous comments.
* Store hwpt::flags to know if we have dirty tracking (Avihai)
* New patch 8, that allows to query dirty tracking support after
provisioning. This is a cleaner way to check IOMMU dirty tracking support
when vfio::migration is iniitalized, as opposed to RFCv2 via device caps.
device caps way is still used because at vfio attach we aren't yet with
a fully initialized migration state.
* Adopt error propagation in query,set dirty tracking
* Misc improvements overall broadly and Avihai
* Drop hugepages as it's a bit unrelated; I can pursue that patch
* separately. The main motivation is to provide a way to test
without hugepages similar to what vfio_type1_iommu.disable_hugepages=1
does.
Changes since RFCv1[2]:
* Remove intel/amd dirty tracking emulation enabling
* Remove the dirtyrate improvement for VF/IOMMU dirty tracking
[Will pursue these two in separate series]
* Introduce auto domains support
* Enforce dirty tracking following the IOMMUFD UAPI for this
* Add support for toggling hugepages in IOMMUFD
* Auto enable support when VF supports migration to use IOMMU
when it doesn't have VF dirty tracking
* Add a parameter to toggle VF dirty tracking
