Hi Oleksandr,
Hi Wei
I just tested the v6 and the latest backend service with the latest staging branch. They work well. Tested-by: Wei Chen <wei.c...@arm.com>
Thank you, I appreciate your help!

The purpose of this patch series is to add IOREQ/DM support to Xen on Arm. You can find an initial discussion at [1] and RFC-V5 series at [2]-[7]. Xen on Arm requires some implementation to forward guest MMIO access to a device model in order to implement virtio-mmio backend or even mediator outside of hypervisor. As Xen on x86 already contains required support this series tries to make it common and introduce Arm specific bits plus some new functionality. Patch series is based on Julien's PoC "xen/arm: Add support for Guest IO forwarding to a device emulator". Besides splitting existing IOREQ/DM support and introducing Arm side, the series also includes virtio-mmio related changes (last 2 patches for toolstack) for the reviewers to be able to see how the whole picture could look like and give it a try. According to the initial/subsequent discussions there are a few open questions/concerns regarding security, performance in VirtIO solution: 1. virtio-mmio vs virtio-pci, SPI vs MSI, or even a composition of virtio-mmio + MSI, different use-cases require different transport... 2. virtio backend is able to access all guest memory, some kind of protection is needed: 'virtio-iommu in Xen' vs 'pre-shared-memory & memcpys in guest', etc (for these Alex have provided some input at [8]) 3. interface between toolstack and 'out-of-qemu' virtio backend, avoid using Xenstore in virtio backend if possible. Also, there is a desire to make VirtIO backend hypervisor-agnostic. 4. a lot of 'foreing mapping' could lead to the memory exhaustion at the host side, as we are stealing the page from host memory in order to map the guest page. Julien has some idea regarding that. 5. Julien also has some ideas how to optimize the IOREQ code: 5.1 vcpu_ioreq_handle_completion (former handle_hvm_io_completion) which is called in an hotpath on Arm (everytime we are re-entering to the guest): Ideally, vcpu_ioreq_handle_completion should be a NOP (at max a few instructions) if there is nothing to do (if we don't have I/O forwarded to an IOREQ server). Maybe we want to introduce a per-vCPU flag indicating if an I/O has been forwarded to an IOREQ server. This would allow us to bypass most of the function if there is nothing to do. 5.2 The current way to handle MMIO is the following: - Pause the vCPU - Forward the access to the backend domain - Schedule the backend domain - Wait for the access to be handled - Unpause the vCPU The sequence is going to be fairly expensive on Xen. It might be possible to optimize the ACK and avoid to wait for the backend to handle the access. Looks like all of them are valid and worth considering, but the first thing which we need on Arm is a mechanism to forward guest IO to a device emulator, so let's focus on it in the first place. *** IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. Current patch series doesn't contain VirtIO related changes for the toolstack (but they are still available at the GitHub repo [9]): - libxl: Introduce basic virtio-mmio support on Arm - [RFC] libxl: Add support for virtio-disk configuration I decided to skip these patches for now since they require some rework (not Xen 4.15 materials), I will resume pushing them once we get *common* IOREQ in. 2. There are two new patches (according to the recent discussion) which likely want Release-Ack: - xen/ioreq: Do not let bufioreq to be used on other than x86 arches - xen/ioreq: Make the IOREQ feature selectable on Arm Also it feels to me that - xen/dm: Introduce xendevicemodel_set_irq_level DM op doesn't have all required Acks (at least for toolstack part). 3. I didn't manage to test patch-by-patch (in all possible modes for x86 and Arm) for this version how I did for all previous versions (due to the limited time), but I performed selective build-testing for patches touched and with the whole series applied. *** There are a lot of changes since RFC series, almost all TODOs were resolved on Arm, Arm code was improved and hardened, common IOREQ/DM code became really arch-agnostic (without HVM-ism), the "legacy" mechanism of mapping magic pages for the IOREQ servers was left x86 specific, etc. But one TODO still remains which is "PIO handling" on Arm. The "PIO handling" TODO is expected to left unaddressed for the current series. It is not an big issue for now while Xen doesn't have support for vPCI on Arm. On Arm64 they are only used for PCI IO Bar and we would probably want to expose them to emulator as PIO access to make a DM completely arch-agnostic. So "PIO handling" should be implemented when we add support for vPCI. There are patches on review this series depends on (but it was agreed that this series could go in without them): https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11816689 https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11803383 Please note, that IOREQ feature is disabled by default on Arm within current series, but there is a possibility to enable it via menuconfig. *** Patch series [9] was rebased on recent "staging branch" (6ca5101 x86/boot: Drop 'noapic' suggestion from check_timer()) and tested on Renesas Salvator-X board + H3 ES3.0 SoC (Arm64) with virtio-mmio disk backend [10] running in driver domain and unmodified Linux Guest running on existing virtio-blk driver (frontend). No issues were observed. Guest domain 'reboot/destroy' use-cases work properly. Patch series was only build-tested on x86. Please note, build-test passed for the following modes: 1. x86: CONFIG_HVM=y / CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER=y (default) 2. x86: #CONFIG_HVM is not set / #CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER is not set 3. Arm64: CONFIG_HVM=y / CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER=y 4. Arm64: CONFIG_HVM=y / #CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER is not set (default) 5. Arm32: CONFIG_HVM=y / CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER=y 6. Arm32: CONFIG_HVM=y / #CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER is not set (default) *** Any feedback/help would be highly appreciated.
