[PATCH RFC 00/26] Add DMA-buf mapping types and convert vfio/iommufd to use them

by Jason Gunthorpe

Since its introduction, DMA-buf has only supported using scatterlist for the exporter and importer to exchange address information. This is not sufficient for all use cases as dma_addr_t is a very specific and limited type that should not be abused for things unrelated to the DMA API. There are several motivations for addressing this now: 1) VFIO to IOMMUFD and KVM requires a physical address, not a dma_addr_t scatterlist, it cannot be represented in the scatterlist structure 2) xe vGPU requires the host driver to accept a DMABUF from VFIO of its own VF and convert it into an internal VRAM address on the PF 3) We are starting to look at replacement datastructures for scatterlist 4) Ideas around UALink/etc are suggesting not using the DMA API None of these can sanely be achieved using scatterlist. Introduce a new mechanism called "mapping types" which allows DMA-buf to work with more map/unmap options than scatterlist. Each mapping type encompasses a full set of functions and data unique to itself. The core code provides a match-making system to select the best type offered by the exporter and importer to be the active mapping type for the attachment. Everything related to scatterlist is moved into a DMA-buf SGT mapping type, and into the "dma_buf_sgt_*" namespace for clarity. Existing exporters are moved over to explicitly declare SGT mapping types and importers are adjusted to use the dma_buf_sgt_* named importer helpers. Mapping types are designed to be extendable, a driver can declare its own mapping type for its internal private interconnect and use that without having to adjust the core code. The new attachment sequence starts with the importing driver declaring what mapping types it can accept: struct dma_buf_mapping_match imp_match[] = { DMA_BUF_IMAPPING_MY_DRIVER(dev, ...), DMA_BUF_IMAPPING_SGT(dev, false), }; attach = dma_buf_mapping_attach(dmabuf, imp_match, ...) Most drivers will do this via a dma_buf_sgt_*attach() helper. The exporting driver can then declare what mapping types it can supply: int exporter_match_mapping(struct dma_buf_match_args *args) { struct dma_buf_mapping_match exp_match[] = { DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_MY_DRIVER(my_ops, dev, ...), DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_SGT(sgt_ops, dev, false), DMA_BUF_EMAPPING_PAL(PAL_ops), }; return dma_buf_match_mapping(args, exp_match, ...); } Most drivers will do this via a helper: static const struct dma_buf_ops ops = { DMA_BUF_SIMPLE_SGT_EXP_MATCH(map_func, unmap_func) }; During dma_buf_mapping_attach() the core code will select a mutual match between the importer and exporter and record it as the active match in the attach->map_type. Each mapping type has its own types/function calls for mapping/unmapping, and storage in the attach->map_type for its information. As such each mapping type can offer function signatures and data that exactly matches its needs. This series goes through a sequence of: 1) Introduce the basic mapping type framework and the main components of the SGT mapping type 2) Automatically make all existing exporters and importers use core generated SGT mapping types so every attachment has a SGT mapping type 3) Convert all exporter drivers to natively create a SGT mapping type 4) Move all dma_buf_* functions and types that are related to SGT into dma_buf_sgt_* 5) Remove all the now-unused items that have been moved into SGT specific structures. 6) Demonstrate adding a new Physical Address List alongside SGT. Due to the high number of files touched I would expect this to be broken into phases, but this shows the entire picture.

[PATCH v7 0/9] vfio/pci: Add mmap() for DMABUFs

by Matt Evans

Hi all, The goal of this series is to enable userspace driver designs that use VFIO to export DMABUFs representing subsets of PCI device BARs, and "vend" those buffers from a primary process to other subordinate processes by fd. This is achieved by allowing the processes to mmap() the DMABUFs; their access to the device is isolated to the exported ranges. The primary userspace driver process can forcibly revoke access to previously-shared buffers upon cleanup (without requiring cooperation from the subordinate processes). This is an improvement on sharing the VFIO device fd to subordinate processes, which would allow global access. See the RFCs for background. The existing VFIO PCI BAR mmap() becomes backed by a DMABUF too, keeping common vm_ops and fault handler for VMAs from the VFIO device and explicitly-exported DMABUFs. This will help future iommufd emulation of VFIO Type1 peer-to-peer, making it easier to get a DMABUF for a VFIO BAR as a DMA target. Below are per-patch notes & background info, and at the bottom are several related questions that reviewers may like to consider (worth at least skipping to #1, a possible bug). Notes on patches ================ mmap() conversion to use DMABUF underneath has been done for vfio-pci, but not sub-drivers: nvgrace-gpu's mmap() override path is unchanged; I kept this out of scope for now not least because I don't have a thorough test setup for this system. I would prefer to help the nvgrace-gpu maintainers enable BAR mmap() DMABUFs themselves. vfio/pci: Remove DMABUF export dependency on vdev->memory_lock In v5 of this series we discover that doing an export from the VFIO mmap() path (fundamental!) adds a dependency between mmap_lock and vdev->memory_lock(W) because export was using memory_lock(W) to protect the vdev->dmabufs list and state within, and a deadlock scenario leapt out to bite: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/9a615f22-c0d4-46ae-9654-db11e94e5fec@ozlabs.org/ The suggestion was to add a dedicated mutex/rwsem specifically for the DMABUFs/list, which is cleaner than overloading memory_lock(W). But whilst export could now downgrade to holding memory_lock(R) to test __vfio_pci_memory_enabled(), a very similar deadlock can still arise due to a memory_lock(W) elsewhere depending on a prior memory_lock(R) to be released, and attempting to take memory_lock(R) will queue behind the (W) for fairness (effectively an R->R dependency). I'd overlooked that rwsem cannot guarantee multiple readers. To be able to export while holding mmap_lock, export cannot hold memory_lock at all. Instead of testing __vfio_pci_memory_enabled() (which tracks PCI_COMMAND.MSE and PM state), this patch tracks device-global DMABUF revocation state in a new vdev->bars_revoked flag updated by vfio_pci_dma_buf_move(). If an mmap() is somehow performed during a period when DMABUFs are all revoked, then the DMABUF is created revoked. Move() already bookends reset, PM transitions etc., so subsequent revocation state changes work as-is. This flag is also protected by the dmabuf_lock and thus memory_lock is not required to export. vfio/pci: Un-revoke DMABUFs in LOW_POWER_ENTRY_WITH_WAKEUP resume On LOW_POWER entry, DMABUFs have a move(revoke=true), but the runtime resume path didn't un-revoke. This adds a corresponding move(revoke=false), which will later turn into vfio_pci_unrevoke_bars(). NOTE: the unrevoke is reordered _before_ the eventfd_signal() in vfio_pci_core_runtime_resume() to remove a window in which a waking waiter could have observed the DMABUF state as still revoked (or pm_runtime_engaged = true). (The UAPI docs state the event means the resume's complete, so observing otherwise seemed unintended.) Also, when DMABUFs are later mmap()ed, a waiter waking and taking a fault could have seen the unrevoked state and SIGBUS just before taking the memory_lock. (If the handler gets to acquire the lock, though, the resume sequence is complete, and the handler observes pm_runtime_engaged = false.) This fix is in this series because the issue will impact CPU access to the VMA as well (once they use DMABUFs), and so it's a strict dependency of later commits. dma-buf: Provide dma_buf_set_name() Makes dma_buf_set_name() available for use (by helper patch), taking a kernel-allocated string. The pre-existing local helper becomes a wrapper copying a __user string for the set-name ioctl. vfio/pci: Add a helper to look up PFNs for DMABUFs Adds a DMABUF VMA fault handler helper to determine arbitrary-sized PFNs from ranges in DMABUF. vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA Refactors DMABUF export for use by the existing export feature, and adds a helper that creates a DMABUF corresponding to a VFIO BAR mmap() request. There was a request for decent debug naming in /proc/<pid>/maps etc. comparable to the existing VFIO names: since the VMAs are DMABUFs, they have a "dmabuf:" prefix and can't be 100% identical to before. This is a user-visible change, but this patch at least now gives us extra info on the BDF & BAR being mmap()ed. The name is installed with the new dma_buf_set_name() above. vfio/pci: Convert BAR mmap() to use a DMABUF The vfio-pci core mmap() creates a DMABUF with the helper above, and the vm_ops fault handler uses the other helper to resolve the fault. Because this depends on DMABUF structs/code, CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_CORE needs to depend on CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER. The CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF still conditionally enables the export support code. NOTE: The user mmap()s a device fd, but the resulting VMA's vm_file becomes that of the DMABUF. The DMABUF takes ownership of the device file and put()s it on release, which maintains the existing behaviour of a VMA keeping the VFIO device open. BAR zapping then happens via the existing vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() path, which now needs to unmap PTEs in the DMABUF's address_space. NOTE: As local LLM reviews did, Sashiko might falsely worry about the DMABUF fd being obtained through /proc/pid/map_files and remapped, but the file is an anon inode and doesn't support the open op (-ENXIO) so AFAICT this is currently impossible. NOTE: A side-effect of this is that is_mergeable_vma() will be false between adjacent mappings of VFIO BARs; merging would require rebuilding a larger DMABUF representing the union, not just plugging the VMAs together. The DMABUF backing the BAR is an implicit/internal export, even when the CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_DMABUF feature is not included because CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA is not available. Without P2PDMA, it's acceptable for the DMABUF to not have a P2PDMA provider. In this configuration, the VFIO DMABUF .attach prohibits any import, which avoids getting as far as a WARN in dma_buf_map_attachment(), which would fail without P2PDMA anyway. vfio/pci: Clean up BAR zap and revocation In general (see NOTE!) the vfio_pci_zap_bars() is now obsolete, since it unmaps PTEs in the VFIO device address_space which is now unused. This consolidates all calls (e.g. around reset) with the neighbouring vfio_pci_dma_buf_move()s into new functions, to revoke/unrevoke (making the steps clearer). NOTE: Because drivers can use their own vm_ops and override .mmap, the core must conservatively assume an overridden .mmap might still add PTEs to the VFIO device address_space and therefore still does the zap. A new flag, zap_bars_on_revoke, enables the zap when .mmap is overridden. A driver that does not need the zap can clear this to opt-out, e.g. if the driver calls down to the common mmap (and so uses DMABUFs). hisi-acc-vfio-pci does just this, and thus sets the opt-out flag. vfio/pci: Support mmap() of a VFIO DMABUF Adds mmap() for a DMABUF fd exported from vfio-pci. It was a goal to keep the VFIO device fd lifetime behaviour unchanged with respect to the DMABUFs. An application can close all device fds, and this will revoke/clean up all DMABUFs; then, no mappings or other access can be performed. When enabling mmap() of the DMABUFs, this means access through the VMA is also revoked. This complicates the fault handler because whilst the DMABUF exists, it has no guarantee that the corresponding VFIO device is still alive. Adds synchronisation ensuring the vdev is available before the locks in vdev are touched; this holds the device registration so that even if the buffer has been cleaned up, vdev hasn't been freed and so the locks can be safely taken. vfio/pci: Revoke a DMABUF on request from userspace This is mostly a rename of `revoked` to an enum, `status`, and adding a third state for a buffer: usable, revoked temporary, revoked permanent. A new VFIO feature is added, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_REVOKE, which takes a DMABUF (exported from the same device) and permanently revokes it. Thus a userspace driver can guarantee any downstream consumers of a shared fd are prevented from accessing a BAR range, and that range can be reused. NOTE: This might block userspace, waiting on importers to detach. The code doing revocation in vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() is moved, to a common function used by ..._move() and this new feature. Testing ======= (The [RFC ONLY] userspace test program, which drives a QEMU bochs-display function, can be found in the GitHub branch below. It at least illustrates how the export, map, revoke, and close semantics interoperate. WIP on a follow-up with a proper vfio-selftests style test based on this -- this won't be part of this series.) This code has been tested in mapping DMABUFs of single/multiple ranges from multiple BARs, aliasing mmap()s, aliasing ranges across DMABUFs, vm_pgoff > 0, revocation, shutdown/cleanup scenarios, and hugepage mappings. No regressions observed on the VFIO selftests, or on our internal vfio-pci applications. VFIO on i386 has been build-tested. Thanks to Alex Mastro for building a (WIP) testcase for the prior mmap_lock->memory_lock issue. Dear Reviewers, =============== Along the way several related issues came up that warrant more eyes, and I'd be grateful for your input: 1. If VFIO fd is opened O_RDONLY, it currently can't be mmap()ed (because PROT_WRITE is rejected in do_mmap(), and PROT_READ alone drops the VM_SHARED so VFIO's mmap rejects it). BUT it seems we can export a DMABUF from it, and then pass the resulting fd around for P2P writes. I don't know if this is intentional/relied on/a known limitation, or a bug? a) We could reject export w/ -EPERM unless the device fd's f_mode has O_RDWR, to reflect the RW abilities of P2P If we agree it's a bug, I want to do this fix (a), as we can now export a DMABUF RW from an O_RDONLY device fd and then succeed to mmap() the DMABUF with RW. (That said, even with an O_RDONLY device fd, the device state can still be changed/reset. But it feels cleaner to prevent export for a O_RDONLY device fd, and match the device fd mmap() behaviour.) In future, we could consider finer-grained RD/WR if there's a future goal to tie DMABUF permissions to, say, iommufd IOMMU_READ/IOMMU_WRITE permissions: b) Instead of just failing if !O_RDWR, we could limit the get_dma_buf.open_flags to the VFIO device fd's f_mode, such as: VFIO device fd perms: Export flags: Result: O_RDWR O_RDWR, O_RDONLY OK O_RDONLY O_RDONLY OK O_RDONLY O_RDWR -EPERM O_WRONLY * -EPERM * O_WRONLY -EPERM (Skipping WRONLY because a PROT_WRITE-only mmap() won't work, though it probably should be included for P2P.) 2. The mmap fault handler takes a bunch of locks non-interruptibly, and potentially depends on a lot of DMABUF-related activities completing. I'd had a go at converting them to interruptible/killable forms, but that revealed there seems to be a wider issue if move/revoke doesn't complete in a timely fashion (due to buggy importers). Where I got to was that just updating the fault handler won't fix the user experience of an unkillable task, and move()/revocation will need thought too. I don't intend to fix this here but wanted to start discussion so we can address it in a follow up. There's now a dependency between mmap_lock in the fault handler and the DMABUF resv (which might take a while to resolve), though revocation will be rare in practice. 3. vfio_basic_config_write() has an error path if vfio_default_config_write() fails that releases memory_lock but doesn't un-revoke BARs in the case of PCI_COMMAND.MSE being cleared. When can the write fail, in practice, perhaps surprise removal? The effect on this series would be: a write of MSE=0 revokes BARs, vconfig[PCI_COMMAND]'s MSE becomes 0, but if the physical write fails then the physical MSE remains 1 and BAR VMAs stay revoked. This seemed a mess; fixing isn't as simple as un-revoking on the error path since vfio_default_config_write() has already trampled vconfig so that'd need unwinding. It felt like a catastrophic scenario where BARs staying revoked isn't a bad outcome, but want to hear your experience of the likelihood of this issue. 4. The exchange of a VFIO fd mmap()'s vma->vm_file with an implicitly created DMABUF's file has implications on LSM. For example, an mmap will be checked against the policy for a VFIO fd, but a subsequent mprotect() relates to the policy of the DMABUF file (which is anon/unique to the mapping). This is pretty confusing. END === This is based on v7.3-rc4 These commits are on GitHub for easier browsing, along with "[RFC ONLY] selftests: vfio: Add standalone vfio_dmabuf_mmap_test": https://github.com/metamev/linux/compare/v7.3-rc4...dev/mev/vfio-dmabuf-mma… Thanks for reading, Matt ================================================================================ Changelog: v7: - Rebased, v7.3-rc4 - "dma-buf: Export dma_buf_set_name()" is now "dma-buf: Provide dma_buf_set_name()": reworded commit message with rationale, and indicate it is only expected to be used by exporters. Remove static helper for user ioctl & copy from user inline in the ioctl. - "vfio/pci: Permanently revoke a DMABUF on request" is now "vfio/pci: Revoke a DMABUF on request from userspace", with a clarified commit message, and removal of "temporary/permanent" language. This still replaces the priv->revoked flag with an enum/third state, named OK/REVOKED for the existing two. The new state, DEAD, is "sticky" from the VFIO-internal perspective, meaning it prevents any of the move-style transitions from REVOKED back to OK, guaranteeing that a DEAD buffer cannot ever be attached/mapped by a new or existing importer. Clarified language around attach vs map to not imply a racing import will be detached; it might attach, but cannot map (and has no existing maps) after the ioctl returns. - Reworded several commit messages for more clarity/brevity. - "vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA": As of the recent e8efdf02d3a97 ("vfio: Enable cdev noiommu mode under iommufd") dev_name() can be much larger (e.g. noiommu_vfio1048575) and the discovery that drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c (others?) could create a domain up to MAX_INT means there isn't a nice way to guarantee a debug name is available across all cdev names and maximum sizes of all properties (e.g. 1M cdevs, 4G domains). So, removed the cdev name from the debug name construction, which now looks like 'vfio:0001:02:03.4/5'. The cdev can be fished out of sysfs given the domain+BDF, and it's still useful debug.

[PATCH v8 00/23] PCI/P2PDMA: Route peer-to-peer DMA by TLP class

by Leon Romanovsky

PCI P2PDMA applies Request and Completion Redirect throughout both paths. This misclassifies asymmetric and nested switches, and reports one answer for every kind of TLP. Three ACS controls act on TLP attributes the client chooses rather than on the topology: Translation Blocking and Direct Translated P2P act on a Request's Address Type, and Completion Redirect skips Completions carrying Relaxed Ordering. Evaluate each direction at the path divergence, decide every class from the one walk, expose the provider to dma-buf importers, and let mlx5 ask rather than assume.

In GPU drivers, when we receive a foreign object and map it in Xe or AMDGPU, this logic sits deep in the stack. However, the top-level call is typically ttm_bo_validate(), which in both drivers eventually resolves to the TTM ->move() vfunc. That path calls dma_buf_map_attachment(), which in turn invokes the dma-buf's ->map() callback. That ->map() callback can trigger a asynchronous move on a different device, where the top-level call is again ttm_bo_validate(). We then end up back in the TTM ->move() vfunc, where kernel fences are installed. I realize that's a lot of layers, but the call chain can end up looking like this. Now we have a mapping and an object with kernel fences attached. Before the object can be used by either the exec IOCTL (batch buffer submission), the VM bind IOCTL (mapping into the GPU address space), or a CPU page fault (not relevant for dma-bufs since they cannot be CPU-mapped, but a useful example of a normal BO move), we wait on those kernel fences. In the case of the exec IOCTL or VM bind IOCTL, the kernel fences are added as dependencies to a drm_sched job, delaying its execution until the fences signal. That is where the wait occurs. In the case of a CPU page fault, the kernel waits directly on the fences before installing the CPU page mappings. So the TL;DR is if you want to immediately hand back a valid mapping, the kernel fences must be waited on before returning after ->map() call.

I think you need the dma_resv_wait_timeout after the 'map'? If a device doesn't support p2p ->map() will typically trigger an async migrate to system memory and data will be moving but the map is valid - Xe 100% does this, I checked AMDGPU and fairly confident it has the same async behavior.

In general I think that the sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment() approach is because of the broken design of the old DMA API. Stuff like that should be handled by the iterator going over the DMA segments instead. But yeah that is not something you can fix in one patch. So apart from the error handling the patch looks good to me. Regards, Christian. > + GFP_KERNEL); > if (ret < 0) > goto err_alloc; >

The params have to come from the *importing* device, not the udmabuf misc device. You don't get to control what they are, and there is no reason to put a dma_parms on a misc deivce. Jason
