Subject: [PATCH 0/4] iommu: iommu_ops group interface
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:55:58 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111021195412.8438.9951.stgit@s20.home> (raw)
IOMMUs can't always distiguish transactions from each individual
device in a system. Sometimes this is by design (such as powerpc
partitionable endpoints), other times by topology (PCIe-to-PCI
bridges masking downstream devices). We call these sets of
indistinguishable devices "groups".
In order to support secure userspace drivers, like vfio, we need
an interface to expose the device-to-group relationship. This
allows us to create policies ensuring that userspace controls all
of the devices in the group before allowing individual device
access.
This series implements the iommu_ops API interface and sysfs
interface for exposing groups to userspace. This also includes
the intel-iommu and amd-iommu backend implementations. It's
intended that the vfio driver will make use of these interfaces
to support generic device assignment for virtual machines. See
git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git (vfio-ng) for a working
example using this interface.
Patches based on Joerg's next branch to support per-bus iommu_ops.
Note the amd-iommu is untested, I'm still working on setting up
an AMD-Vi capable system. Thanks,
Alex
