[PATCH RFC 0/3] virtio-pci: iommu support

Show all headers | View raw

This is an attempt to allow enabling IOMMU for DMA.
Design:
	- new feature bit IOMMU_PLATFORM which means
          host won't bypass IOMMU
	- virtio core uses DMA API if it sees IOMMU_PLATFORM
	- add quirk for vfio to disable device unless IOMMU_PLATFORM is set
          or the no-iommu mode is enabled
	- while I'm not sure how it will be used, it seems like a good idea to
	  also have ability to distinguish between a legacy device and one
	  where iommu is bypassed intentionally.  To this end, add another feature bit
	  IOMMU_PASSTHROUGH. We don't acknowledge it if IOMMU_PLATFORM is set.

TODO:
	- I'm not sure whether there are setups that mix IOMMU
	  and no-IOMMU configs. If so, failing on probe might not
	  be the right thing to do, should fail binding to IOMMU group instead.


Michael S. Tsirkin (3):
  virtio: add features for IOMMU control
  vfio: report group noiommu status
  vfio: add virtio pci quirk
