The MSI-X table is paravirtualized on vfio in general and interrupt remapping theoretically protects against errant interrupts, so why is this PPC64 specific? We have the same safeguards on x86 if we want to decide they're sufficient. Offhand, the only way I can think that a device can touch the MSI-X table is via backdoors or p2p DMA with another device. > This patch adds support for this case and allow to mmap MSI-X > table if EEH is supported on PPC64 platform. > > And we also add a VFIO_DEVICE_FLAGS_PCI_MSIX_MMAP flag to notify > userspace that it's safe to mmap MSI-X table. > > Signed-off-by: Yongji Xie <xyj...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > --- > drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c | 5 ++++- > drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_private.h | 5 +++++ > include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 2 ++ > 3 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c b/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c > index dbcad99..85d9980 100644 > --- a/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c > +++ b/drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c > @@ -446,6 +446,9 @@ static long vfio_pci_ioctl(void *device_data, > if (vfio_pci_bar_page_aligned()) > info.flags |= VFIO_DEVICE_FLAGS_PCI_PAGE_ALIGNED; > > + if (vfio_msix_table_mmap_enabled()) > + info.flags |= VFIO_DEVICE_FLAGS_PCI_MSIX_MMAP; > + > info.num_regions = VFIO_PCI_NUM_REGIONS; > info.num_irqs = VFIO_PCI_NUM_IRQS; > > @@ -871,7 +874,7 @@ static int vfio_pci_mmap(void *device_data, struct > vm_area_struct *vma) > if (phys_len < PAGE_SIZE || req_start + req_len > phys_len) > return -EINVAL; > > - if (index == vdev->msix_bar) { > + if (index == vdev->msix_bar && !vfio_msix_table_mmap_enabled()) { > /* > * Disallow mmaps overlapping the MSI-X table; users don't > * get to touch this directly.
