cover vfio/pci: Allow MMIO regions to be exported through dma-buf

Changelog:
v1:
* Changed commit messages.
* Reused DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute.
* Returned support for multiple DMA ranges per-dMABUF.
v0: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on "[PATCH v1 00/16] dma-mapping: migrate to physical address-based API"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected] series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This series extends the VFIO PCI subsystem to support exporting MMIO regions from PCI device BARs as dma-buf objects, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations.

The series supports a use case for SPDK where a NVMe device will be owned by SPDK through VFIO but interacting with a RDMA device. The RDMA device may directly access the NVMe CMB or directly manipulate the NVMe device's doorbell using PCI P2P.

However, as a general mechanism, it can support many other scenarios with VFIO. This dmabuf approach can be usable by iommufd as well for generic and safe P2P mappings.

In addition to the SPDK use-case mentioned above, the capability added in this patch series can also be useful when a buffer (located in device memory such as VRAM) needs to be shared between any two dGPU devices or instances (assuming one of them is bound to VFIO PCI) as long as they are P2P DMA compatible.

The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace.

The series includes significant refactoring of the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation features, making it more modular and suitable for VFIO use cases that don't need struct page support.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The series is based originally on
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
but heavily rewritten to be based on DMA physical API.

PATCH 1/10 PCI/P2PDMA: Remove redundant bus_offset from map state

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Remove the bus_off field from pci_p2pdma_map_state since it duplicates information already available in the pgmap structure. The bus_offset is only used in one location (pci_p2pdma_bus_addr_map) and is always identical to pgmap->bus_offset.

You are right, probably the best way to fix the error is simply squash this change into the next patch.

PATCH 2/10 PCI/P2PDMA: Separate the mmap() support from the core logic

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Currently the P2PDMA code requires a pgmap and a struct page to function. The was serving three important purposes:

- DMA API compatibility, where scatterlist required a struct page as input

- Life cycle management, the percpu_ref is used to prevent UAF during device hot unplug

- A way to get the P2P provider data through the pci_p2pdma_pagemap

The DMA API now has a new flow, and has gained phys_addr_t support, so it no longer needs struct pages to perform P2P mapping.

Lifecycle management can be delegated to the user, DMABUF for instance has a suitable invalidation protocol that does not require struct page.

Finding the P2P provider data can also be managed by the caller without need to look it up from the phys_addr.

Split the P2PDMA code into two layers. The optional upper layer, effectively, provides a way to mmap() P2P memory into a VMA by providing struct page, pgmap, a genalloc and sysfs.

The lower layer provides the actual P2P infrastructure and is wrapped up in a new struct p2pdma_provider. Rework the mmap layer to use new p2pdma_provider based APIs.

Drivers that do not want to put P2P memory into VMA's can allocate a struct p2pdma_provider after probe() starts and free it before remove() completes. When DMA mapping the driver must convey the struct p2pdma_provider to the DMA mapping code along with a phys_addr of the MMIO BAR slice to map. The driver must ensure that no DMA mapping outlives the lifetime of the struct p2pdma_provider.

The intended target of this new API layer is DMABUF. There is usually only a single p2pdma_provider for a DMABUF exporter. Most drivers can establish the p2pdma_provider during probe, access the single instance during DMABUF attach and use that to drive the DMA mapping.

DMABUF provides an invalidation mechanism that can guarantee all DMA is halted and the DMA mappings are undone prior to destroying the struct p2pdma_provider. This ensures there is no UAF through DMABUFs that are lingering past driver removal.

The new p2pdma_provider layer cannot be used to create P2P memory that can be mapped into VMA's, be used with pin_user_pages(), O_DIRECT, and so on. These use cases must still use the mmap() layer. The p2pdma_provider layer is principally for DMABUF-like use cases where DMABUF natively manages the life cycle and access instead of vmas/pin_user_pages()/struct page.

PATCH 3/10 PCI/P2PDMA: Simplify bus address mapping API

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Update the pci_p2pdma_bus_addr_map() function to take a direct pointer to the p2pdma_provider structure instead of the pci_p2pdma_map_state. This simplifies the API by removing the need for callers to extract the provider from the state structure.

The change updates all callers across the kernel (block layer, IOMMU, DMA direct, and HMM) to pass the provider pointer directly, making the code more explicit and reducing unnecessary indirection. This also removes the runtime warning check since callers now have direct control over which provider they use.

PATCH 4/10 PCI/P2PDMA: Refactor to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Refactor the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate the core peer-to-peer DMA functionality from the optional memory allocation layer. This creates a two-tier architecture:

The core layer provides P2P mapping functionality for physical addresses based on PCI device MMIO BARs and integrates with the DMA API for mapping operations. This layer is required for all P2PDMA users.

The optional upper layer provides memory allocation capabilities including gen_pool allocator, struct page support, and sysfs interface for user space access.

This separation allows subsystems like VFIO to use only the core P2P mapping functionality without the overhead of memory allocation features they don't need. The core functionality is now available through the new pci_p2pdma_enable() function that returns a p2pdma_provider structure.

Humm, I had thought it was consistent for the device, but I guess not:

	resource_list_for_each_entry(window, &bridge->windows) {
		if (resource_contains(window->res, res)) {
			offset = window->offset;

Seems like each window can have its own offset.

So the p2p should be made per-bar, and hold the bar index from the constructor..

PATCH 5/10 PCI/P2PDMA: Export pci_p2pdma_map_type() function

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Export the pci_p2pdma_map_type() function to allow external modules and subsystems to determine the appropriate mapping type for P2PDMA transfers between a provider and target device.

The function determines whether peer-to-peer DMA transfers can be done directly through PCI switches (PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_BUS_ADDR) or must go through the host bridge (PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE), or if the transfer is not supported at all.

This export enables subsystems like VFIO to properly handle P2PDMA operations by querying the mapping type before attempting transfers, ensuring correct DMA address programming and error handling.

PATCH 6/10 types: move phys_vec definition to common header

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Move the struct phys_vec definition from block/blk-mq-dma.c to include/linux/types.h to make it available for use across the kernel.

The phys_vec structure represents a physical address range with a length, which is used by the new physical address-based DMA mapping API. This structure is already used by the block layer and will be needed by upcoming VFIO patches for dma-buf operations.

Moving this definition to types.h provides a centralized location for this common data structure and eliminates code duplication across subsystems that need to work with physical address ranges.

It is temporary solution in next patch "vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions", the strict ifdef is added.

  2107 #ifdef CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF
  2108         vdev->provider = pci_p2pdma_enable(vdev->pdev);
  2109         if (IS_ERR(vdev->provider))

I will split "vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export ..." patch to introduce CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF before this "vfio/pci: Enable peer-to-peer ..." patch.

Thanks

PATCH 9/10 vfio/pci: Share the core device pointer while invoking feature functions

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Vivek Kasireddy <[email protected]>

There is no need to share the main device pointer (struct vfio_device *) with all the feature functions as they only need the core device pointer. Therefore, extract the core device pointer once in the caller (vfio_pci_core_ioctl_feature) and share it instead.

PATCH 10/10 vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions

In reply to Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Add support for exporting PCI device MMIO regions through dma-buf, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations.

The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace.

Re: [PATCH v1 10/10] vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions

Quoted 28 lines · Leon Romanovsky

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email protected]>

Add support for exporting PCI device MMIO regions through dma-buf, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations.

The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace.

This series extends the VFIO PCI subsystem to support exporting MMIO regions from PCI device BARs as dma-buf objects, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations.

The series supports a use case for SPDK where a NVMe device will be owned by SPDK through VFIO but interacting with a RDMA device. The RDMA device may directly access the NVMe CMB or directly manipulate the NVMe device's doorbell using PCI P2P.

However, as a general mechanism, it can support many other scenarios with VFIO. This dmabuf approach can be usable by iommufd as well for generic and safe P2P mappings.

In addition to the SPDK use-case mentioned above, the capability added in this patch series can also be useful when a buffer (located in device memory such as VRAM) needs to be shared between any two dGPU devices or instances (assuming one of them is bound to VFIO PCI) as long as they are P2P DMA compatible.

The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace.

The series includes significant refactoring of the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation features, making it more modular and suitable for VFIO use cases that don't need struct page support.

The series is based originally on

but heavily rewritten to be based on DMA physical API.

FYI: this entire patch series was rejected as spam by large numbers of linux-mm subscribers using @gmail.com email addresses.

Thanks for the heads-up. Are you aware of any issues from my side? I'm sending patches with git-send-email through mail.kernel.org SMTP.

Thanks
