HI Leo/Ruiyu
In order to express my thought clearly, I posted some POC code at 
https://github.com/jyao1/edk2/tree/master  a branch named "dma".

The library header file is @ 
https://github.com/jyao1/edk2/blob/dma/MdeModulePkg/Include/Library/BmDmaLib.h
The default instance is @ 
https://github.com/jyao1/edk2/tree/dma/MdeModulePkg/Library/DxeBmDmaLib

I also wrote POC template for VTd protection to show the concept @ 
https://github.com/jyao1/edk2/tree/dma/MdeModulePkg/Library/DxeBmDmaLibVtdSample

All code just passes build, not validated yet.

Please let me know your idea.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen

Subject: RE: [edk2] [PATCH v4 0/6] DxeBmDmaLib (BmDmaLib class) library

Hi
Thanks for your patient.

1) I think it is good to abstract the DMA operation.
However, the problem on doing this in PciHostBridge driver is that: We lose the 
information on which PCI device submits the Map/Ummap() request.

For example, we can allocate one DMA memory for an ATA device, and we do not 
want USB device access this DMA memory.

For Intel VTd, we need this information.

Is that possible to share your feature code to help me understand how this API 
is used on your side?
Or if it is hard to share the code, is that possible to help us evaluate if we 
can move this library or hook to the PciBus driver ?
[Duran, Leo] The intent is to allow override of BmDmalib, so that we may set or 
clear the SEV mask as DMA buffers are allocated or free'ed.

[Jiewen] OK. It seems your requirement is similar to ours.
For us, we need update VTd/IOMMU page table for PCI device, to set/clear DMA 
buffer when it is allocated/freed.
The only difference is that our solution need to know the PCI device 
(bus/device/function) who submit the request.


We did some POC work to protect DMA in UEFI phase.
The code is at 
https://github.com/jyao1/STM/tree/master/Test/DmaPkg/DmaProtection, 
PciHook.c<https://github.com/jyao1/STM/blob/master/Test/DmaPkg/DmaProtection/PciHook.c>
There is a white paper to describe the design in detail - 
https://firmware.intel.com/sites/default/files/resources/A_Tour_Beyond_BIOS_Using_Intel_VT-d_for_DMA_Protection.pdf
This implementation hooks PCI_IO protocol Map/Ummap function. However, the 
*hook* is not a recommended way.

Because the BmDmaLib is to abstract DMA operation, I think we can move BmDmaLib 
to PciBus driver instead of PciHostBridge driver.
I believe it can meet both requirement.





2) Back to the API, I have a little concern on having "DmaAbove4GB" in 
BmDmaMap() and BmDmaAllocateBuffer().
[Duran, Leo] The intent of the flag is to determine the need for a bounce 
buffer if the bus-master device is not capable of accessing memory above 4GB's.
Point being, when a bounce buffer is used for DMA we also need to manage the 
SEV mask on that buffer.

Per my understanding:
- The PciHostBridgeDxe driver is the core module.
- The PciHostBridgeLib is the silicon hardware layout abstraction. The producer 
should be silicon driver.
- The BmDmaLib is the PCI feature abstraction. The producer could be a core 
module or a platform module.
I think we had better make the BmDmaLib API be similar to the API defined in 
UEFI spec.
[Duran, Leo] Can you please point me to the pertinent reference in the UEFI 
spec?

[Jiewen] Please refer to 13.2 PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol, 13.4 EFI PCI I/O 
Protocol.

Assuming we still use it in PciHostBridgeDxe, Ruiyu's and my thought is:
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
BmDmaMap (
  IN     EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL_OPERATION Operation,
  IN     VOID              *HostAddress,
  IN OUT UINTN             *NumberOfBytes,
  OUT    PHYSICAL_ADDRESS  *DeviceAddress,
  OUT    VOID              **Mapping
   );
// We can use Operation to know it is Above4GB requirement or not.
// EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead64/ EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite64/ 
EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer64 means YES.
// EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead/ EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite/ 
EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer means NO.

EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
BmDmaAllocateBuffer (
  IN  EFI_ALLOCATE_TYPE    Type,
  IN  EFI_MEMORY_TYPE      MemoryType,
  IN  UINTN                Pages,
  OUT VOID                 **HostAddress,
  IN  UINT64               Attributes
);
// We can use Attributes to know it is Above4GB requirement or not.
// EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE means YES.


Assuming we move to PciBusDxe. my thought is:
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
BmDmaMap (
  IN     EFI_PCI_IO        *PciIo,
  IN     EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL_OPERATION Operation,
  IN     VOID              *HostAddress,
  IN OUT UINTN             *NumberOfBytes,
  OUT    PHYSICAL_ADDRESS  *DeviceAddress,
  OUT    VOID              **Mapping
);
EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
BmDmaAllocateBuffer (
  IN  EFI_PCI_IO           *PciIo,
  IN  EFI_ALLOCATE_TYPE    Type,
  IN  EFI_MEMORY_TYPE      MemoryType,
  IN  UINTN                Pages,
  OUT VOID                 **HostAddress,
  IN  UINT64               Attributes
  );





I discussed with Ruiyu, and we have some idea to eliminate "DmaAbove4GB" and 
make API consistent with UEFI spec.

3) I am not sure if BmDmaLib API need a way to distinguish which 
PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO it is handling. That is an open question.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen

Leo,
I talked with Jiewen in office today. He felt that Intel might have a similar 
need of such layer of abstraction (BmDmaLib).
We are investigating it. Can you please wait for several days?
We'd like to review the current interfaces of BmDmaLib to make sure it's 
general enough to meet any potential needs.
Sorry about the delay.

Regards,
Ray
