Consider an IOMMU to be an API rather than an implementation, we might
have multiple implementations supporting the same API, so try another
if one fails. The expectation here is that we'll really only have
one implementation per device type. For instance the existing type1
driver works with any PCI device where the IOMMU API is available. A
vGPU vendor may have a virtual PCI device which provides DMA isolation
and mapping through other mechanisms, but can re-use userspaces that
make use of the type1 VFIO IOMMU API. This allows that to work.
Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
Using iommu_present() to determine whether an IOMMU group is real or
fake has some problems. First, apparently Power systems don't
register an IOMMU on the device bus, so the groups and containers get
marked as noiommu and then won't bind to their actual IOMMU driver.
Second, I expect we'll run into the same issue as we try to support
vGPUs through vfio, since they're likely to emulate this behavior of
creating an IOMMU group on a virtual device and then providing a vfio
IOMMU backend tailored to the sort of isolation they provide, which
won't necessarily be fully compatible with the IOMMU API.
The solution here is to use the existing iommudata interface to IOMMU
groups, which allows us to easily identify the fake groups we've
created for noiommu purposes. The iommudata we set is purely
arbitrary since we're only comparing the address, so we use the
address of the noiommu switch itself.

Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
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.

When we open a device file descriptor, we currently have the

If we hit that error case, we call the backend driver release path,

vfio_pci_release()
vfio_pci_disable()
vfio_pci_try_bus_reset()
vfio_pci_get_devs()
vfio_device_get_from_dev()
vfio_group_get_device()

Whoops, we've stumbled back onto group.device_lock and created a

obviously it needs to be fixed. To do that we can use a reference to
the vfio_device for vfio_group_get_device_fd() rather than holding the

multiple devices with the same name, but in practice we don't expect
such a thing to happen and the code is already aborting from the loop

Testing the driver for a PCI device is racy, it can be all but
complete in the release path and still report the driver as ours.
Therefore we can't trust drvdata to be valid. This race can sometimes
be seen when one port of a multifunction device is being unbound from
the vfio-pci driver while another function is being released by the
user and attempting a bus reset. The device in the remove path is
found as a dependent device for the bus reset of the release path
device, the driver is still set to vfio-pci, but the drvdata has
already been cleared, resulting in a null pointer dereference.
To resolve this, fix vfio_device_get_from_dev() to not take the
dev_get_drvdata() shortcut and instead traverse through the
iommu_group, vfio_group, vfio_device path to get a reference we
can trust. Once we have that reference, we know the device isn't
in transition and we can test to make sure the driver is still what
we expect, so that we don't interfere with devices we don't own.

That's a user visible change that may break module loading scritps

There's a small window between the vfio bus driver calling
vfio_del_group_dev() and the device being completely unbound where
the vfio group appears to be non-viable. This creates a race for
users like QEMU/KVM where the kvm-vfio module tries to get an
external reference to the group in order to match and release an
existing reference, while the device is potentially being removed
from the vfio bus driver. If the group is momentarily non-viable,
kvm-vfio may not be able to release the group reference until VM
shutdown, making the group unusable until that point.
Bridge the gap between device removal from the group and completion
of the driver unbind by tracking it in a list. The device is added
to the list before the bus driver reference is released and removed
using the existing unbind notifier.

VFIO is designed to be used via ioctls on file descriptors
returned by VFIO.
However in some situations support for an external user is required.
The first user is KVM on PPC64 (SPAPR TCE protocol) which is going to
use the existing VFIO groups for exclusive access in real/virtual mode
on a host to avoid passing map/unmap requests to the user space which
would made things pretty slow.
The protocol includes:
1. do normal VFIO init operation:
- opening a new container;
- attaching group(s) to it;
- setting an IOMMU driver for a container.
When IOMMU is set for a container, all groups in it are
considered ready to use by an external user.
2. User space passes a group fd to an external user.
The external user calls vfio_group_get_external_user()
to verify that:
- the group is initialized;
- IOMMU is set for it.
If both checks passed, vfio_group_get_external_user()
increments the container user counter to prevent
the VFIO group from disposal before KVM exits.
3. The external user calls vfio_external_user_iommu_id()
to know an IOMMU ID. PPC64 KVM uses it to link logical bus
number (LIOBN) with IOMMU ID.
4. When the external KVM finishes, it calls
vfio_group_put_external_user() to release the VFIO group.
This call decrements the container user counter.
Everything gets released.
The "vfio: Limit group opens" patch is also required for the consistency.

BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE triggers IOMMU drivers to remove devices from

block the device_del from completing until it's released. If the
device is not in use or not owned by a vfio sub-driver, then we
really don't care that it's being removed.
The current code can be triggered just by unloading an sr-iov driver

incorrect assumption about the ordering of driver remove callbacks
vs the DEL_DEVICE notification.

fail the lookup.
We don't need to go to such extents for this though. We have a

VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's
intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
(in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
IOMMU).
New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to
original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO
users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
choice.

and usage example.
