VDUSE is a framework that makes it +possible to implement software-emulated vDPA devices in userspace. + +How VDUSE works +------------ +Each userspace vDPA device is created by the VDUSE_CREATE_DEV ioctl on +the character device (/dev/vduse/control). Then a device file with the +specified name (/dev/vduse/$NAME) will appear, which can be used to +implement the userspace vDPA device's control path and data path. + +To implement control path, a message-based communication protocol and some +types of control messages are introduced in the VDUSE framework: + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_ADDR: Set the vring address of virtqueue. + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_NUM: Set the size of virtqueue + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_READY: Set ready status of virtqueue + +- VDUSE_GET_VQ_READY: Get ready status of virtqueue + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_STATE: Set the state for virtqueue + +- VDUSE_GET_VQ_STATE: Get the state for virtqueue + +- VDUSE_SET_FEATURES: Set virtio features supported by the driver + +- VDUSE_GET_FEATURES: Get virtio features supported by the device + +- VDUSE_SET_STATUS: Set the device status + +- VDUSE_GET_STATUS: Get the device status + +- VDUSE_SET_CONFIG: Write to device specific configuration space + +- VDUSE_GET_CONFIG: Read from device specific configuration space + +- VDUSE_UPDATE_IOTLB: Notify userspace to update the memory mapping in device IOTLB + +Those control messages are mostly based on the vdpa_config_ops in +include/linux/vdpa.h which defines a unified interface to control +different types of vdpa device. Userspace needs to read()/write() +on the VDUSE device file to receive/reply those control messages +from/to VDUSE kernel module as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int vduse_message_handler(int dev_fd) + { + int len; + struct vduse_dev_request req; + struct vduse_dev_response resp; + + len = read(dev_fd, &req, sizeof(req)); + if (len != sizeof(req)) + return -1; + + resp.request_id = req.request_id; + + switch (req.type) { + + /* handle different types of message */ + + } + + len = write(dev_fd, &resp, sizeof(resp)); + if (len != sizeof(resp)) + return -1; + + return 0; + } + +In the data path, vDPA device's iova regions will be mapped into userspace +with the help of VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD ioctl on the VDUSE device file: + +- VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD: get the file descriptor to the first overlapped iova region. + Userspace can access this iova region by passing fd and corresponding size, offset, + perm to mmap(). For example: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int perm_to_prot(uint8_t perm) + { + int prot = 0; + + switch (perm) { + case VDUSE_ACCESS_WO: + prot |= PROT_WRITE; + break; + case VDUSE_ACCESS_RO: + prot |= PROT_READ; + break; + case VDUSE_ACCESS_RW: + prot |= PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE; + break; + } + + return prot; + } + + static void *iova_to_va(int dev_fd, uint64_t iova, uint64_t *len) + { + int fd; + void *addr; + size_t size; + struct vduse_iotlb_entry entry; + + entry.start = iova; + entry.last = iova + 1; + fd = ioctl(dev_fd, VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD, &entry); + if (fd < 0) + return NULL; + + size = entry.last - entry.start + 1; + *len = entry.last - iova + 1; + addr = mmap(0, size, perm_to_prot(entry.perm), MAP_SHARED, + fd, entry.offset); + close(fd); + if (addr == MAP_FAILED) + return NULL; + + /* do something to cache this iova region */ + + return addr + iova - entry.start; + } + +Besides, the following ioctls on the VDUSE device file are provided to support +interrupt injection and setting up eventfd for virtqueue kicks: + +- VDUSE_VQ_SETUP_KICKFD: set the kickfd for virtqueue, this eventfd is used + by VDUSE kernel module to notify userspace to consume the vring. + +- VDUSE_INJECT_VQ_IRQ: inject an interrupt for specific virtqueue + +- VDUSE_INJECT_CONFIG_IRQ: inject a config interrupt + +Register VDUSE device on vDPA bus +--------------------------------- +In order to make the VDUSE device work, administrator needs to use the management +API (netlink) to register it on vDPA bus. Some sample codes are show below: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int netlink_add_vduse(const char *name, int device_id) + { + struct nl_sock *nlsock; + struct nl_msg *msg; + int famid; + + nlsock = nl_socket_alloc(); + if (!nlsock) + return -ENOMEM; + + if (genl_connect(nlsock)) + goto free_sock; + + famid = genl_ctrl_resolve(nlsock, VDPA_GENL_NAME); + if (famid < 0) + goto close_sock; + + msg = nlmsg_alloc(); + if (!msg) + goto close_sock; + + if (!genlmsg_put(msg, NL_AUTO_PORT, NL_AUTO_SEQ, famid, 0, 0, + VDPA_CMD_DEV_NEW, 0)) + goto nla_put_failure; + + NLA_PUT_STRING(msg, VDPA_ATTR_DEV_NAME, name); + NLA_PUT_STRING(msg, VDPA_ATTR_MGMTDEV_DEV_NAME, "vduse"); + NLA_PUT_U32(msg, VDPA_ATTR_DEV_ID, device_id); + + if (nl_send_sync(nlsock, msg)) + goto close_sock; + + nl_close(nlsock); + nl_socket_free(nlsock); + + return 0; + nla_put_failure: + nlmsg_free(msg); + close_sock: + nl_close(nlsock); + free_sock: + nl_socket_free(nlsock); + return -1; + }
Let's also explain this can be done via vdpa tool in iproute2 as well. Otherwise Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasow...@redhat.com>
+ +MMU-based IOMMU Driver +---------------------- +VDUSE framework implements an MMU-based on-chip IOMMU driver to support +mapping the kernel DMA buffer into the userspace iova region dynamically. +This is mainly designed for virtio-vdpa case (kernel virtio drivers). + +The basic idea behind this driver is treating MMU (VA->PA) as IOMMU (IOVA->PA). +The driver will set up MMU mapping instead of IOMMU mapping for the DMA transfer +so that the userspace process is able to use its virtual address to access +the DMA buffer in kernel. + +And to avoid security issue, a bounce-buffering mechanism is introduced to +prevent userspace accessing the original buffer directly which may contain other +kernel data. During the mapping, unmapping, the driver will copy the data from +the original buffer to the bounce buffer and back, depending on the direction of +the transfer. And the bounce-buffer addresses will be mapped into the user address +space instead of the original one.
