SubjectRE: [RFC PATCH v2 00/19] Control VQ support in vDPA

> Control virtqueue is used by networking device for accepting various
> commands from the driver. It's a must to support multiqueue and other
> configurations.
>
> When used by vhost-vDPA bus driver for VM, the control virtqueue
> should be shadowed via userspace VMM (Qemu) instead of being assigned
> directly to Guest. This is because Qemu needs to know the device state
> in order to start and stop device correctly (e.g for Live Migration).

> This requies to isolate the memory mapping for control virtqueue
> presented by vhost-vDPA to prevent guest from accessing it directly.

> To achieve this, vDPA introduce two new abstractions:
>
> - address space: identified through address space id (ASID) and a set
> of memory mapping in maintained
> - virtqueue group: the minimal set of virtqueues that must share an
> address space
>
> Device needs to advertise the following attributes to vDPA:
>
> - the number of address spaces supported in the device
> - the number of virtqueue groups supported in the device
> - the mappings from a specific virtqueue to its virtqueue groups
>
> The mappings from virtqueue to virtqueue groups is fixed and defined
> by vDPA device driver. E.g:
>
> - For the device that has hardware ASID support, it can simply
> advertise a per virtqueue virtqueue group.
> - For the device that does not have hardware ASID support, it can
> simply advertise a single virtqueue group that contains all
> virtqueues. Or if it wants a software emulated control virtqueue, it
> can advertise two virtqueue groups, one is for cvq, another is for
> the rest virtqueues.
>
> vDPA also allow to change the association between virtqueue group and
> address space. So in the case of control virtqueue, userspace
> VMM(Qemu) may use a dedicated address space for the control virtqueue
> group to isolate the memory mapping.

> The vhost/vhost-vDPA is also extend for the userspace to:
>
> - query the number of virtqueue groups and address spaces supported by
> the device
> - query the virtqueue group for a specific virtqueue
> - assocaite a virtqueue group with an address space
> - send ASID based IOTLB commands
>
> This will help userspace VMM(Qemu) to detect whether the control vq
> could be supported and isolate memory mappings of control virtqueue
> from the others.

> To demonstrate the usage, vDPA simulator is extended to support

> - Updates to accommodate vdpa_sim changes from monolithic module in

This is great. Then the semantic matches exactly the PASID proposal here[1].

On top, we may extend the netlink protocol to report the mapping between virtqueue to its groups.
[GD>>] Yes, I've already discussed this with Eugenio. For testing purpose, I added the mapping in Xilinx netdriver "sfc".

Thanks
