PATCH 1/1 AMD IOMMU: Hanlde sibling device assignment correctly

Devices on AMD IOMMU system share a same set of IO page tables if they are indexed by a same device ID in device table. To prevent these sibling devices from being assigned to different domains, a successful device assignment requires all sibling devices are owned by either pciback or the target domain. This is a trial patch with minor modifications in the common interface to handle this situation correctly. VTD code has also been slightly touched please let me know if it breaks any VTD functionality. Thanks!

Hi Wei,

Could you please explain in which cases two devices would end up sharing the same device ID? Am I correct in the assumption that this can only happen for devices on the HT fabric, rather than for PCI/PCI-e devices?

Thanks,
Muli

I think both could be possible. If IOMMU is implemented per PCI-to-PCI-E bridge, then probably there will be a group of PCI device sharing a same PCI-E requester ID. The device table can only be indexed by either PCI-E requester ID or HT unit ID.

Good point. That should be a fairly rare case. It will also apply equally well to VT-d, so this should probably be common functionality.

Cheers,

This patch seems to do more than you suggest, for example adding an extra iommu hook into setup.c for dom0. Also it does get_domain_by_id() with no corresponding put_domain(). And in fact you should be able to rcu_lock_domain_by_id()/rcu_unlock_domain() instead which is faster.

My idea is to let dom0 construct pci device list according to configuration of pciback.hide=(). If a device is not hidden from dom0, it might be in use by dom0, then it could be dangerous to assign any of its siblings to other passthru domain. It is not very clean to hook into setup.c but I failed to find any better way to this :(

Thanks, I will update that.

I might be confused about how this works. Are you saying that if a domU gets a device passed-thru that is a sibling of a dom0-driven device, then dom0 will mistakenly have its device's DMAs remapped according to the domU mappings that get set up?

Is it possible to do this more dynamically from the tools? I.e, working out sibling groups at the time we build a pass-thru domain, and at that point fail the pass-thru if dom0 or any other domU is driving any device in the group? Seems a nicer level to do the checks and raise errors. You might want to some conflict checking in Xen, of course, just to sanity-check that noone tries to set up two different mappings on the same HT or PCIe identifier.

Basically I think this patch is ugly. :-)

If a device is behind a PCI-E to PCI bridge there are cases where transactions from the device are re-written by the bridge to use the requestor id of the bridge. Given that the requestor id is the token used by the IOMMU to determine the domain which initiated the IO, this effectively means that devices behind a PCI-E to PCI bridge are not divisible - they (and the bridge) must all be assigned to the same domain.

At least, that's my understanding :-/

For VT-d, your understanding is correct. Devices behind PCI-E to PCI/PCI-X bridges can only be collectively assigned to a single domain. But now it's not implemented yet in Xen.

I have encountered a problem on my testing machine. When I assign a usb controller ,which shares the same device ID of a sata controller belong to dom0, dom0 hangs immediately. The current solution is that when hiding a pci device from dom0, its sibling device must also be hidden. Therefore, I need to parse pciback.hide from Xen side..

Yes, that is my first thought. The question is only dom0 knows about pciback.hide information. Current iommu code construct device list no matter whether devices are actually hidden from dom0. Is it better to just allow hidden devices to be added into the device list?

Yes, I admit that. the purpose of this patch is maybe just raise a problem for further discussion. ;)
