2016-08-01virtio: new feature to detect IOMMU device quirkMichael S. Tsirkin
The interaction between virtio and IOMMUs is messy. On most systems with virtio, physical addresses match bus addresses, and it doesn't particularly matter which one we use to program the device. On some systems, including Xen and any system with a physical device that speaks virtio behind a physical IOMMU, we must program the IOMMU for virtio DMA to work at all. On other systems, including SPARC and PPC64, virtio-pci devices are enumerated as though they are behind an IOMMU, but the virtio host ignores the IOMMU, so we must either pretend that the IOMMU isn't there or somehow map everything as the identity. Add a feature bit to detect that quirk: VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM. Any device with this feature bit set to 0 needs a quirk and has to be passed physical addresses (as opposed to bus addresses) even though the device is behind an IOMMU. Note: it has to be a per-device quirk because for example, there could be a mix of passed-through and virtual virtio devices. As another example, some devices could be implemented by an out of process hypervisor backend (in case of qemu vhost, or vhost-user) and so support for an IOMMU needs to be coded up separately. It would be cleanest to handle this in IOMMU core code, but that needs per-device DMA ops. While we are waiting for that to be implemented, use a work-around in virtio core. Note: a "noiommu" feature is a quirk - add a wrapper to make that clear. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
2016-04-07virtio: add VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_NEEDS_RESET device status bitStefan Hajnoczi
The VIRTIO 1.0 specification added the DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET device status bit in "VIRTIO-98: Add DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET". This patch defines the device status bit in the uapi header file so that both the kernel and userspace applications can use it. The bit is currently unused by the virtio guest drivers and vhost. According to the spec "a good implementation will try to recover by issuing a reset". This is not attempted here because it requires auditing the virtio drivers to ensure there are no resource leaks or crashes if the device needs to be reset mid-operation. See "2.1 Device Status Field" in the VIRTIO 1.0 specification for details. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

2014-12-09virtio: add virtio 1.0 feature bitMichael S. Tsirkin
Based on original patches by Rusty Russell, Thomas Huth and Cornelia Huck. Note: at this time, we do not negotiate this feature bit in core, drivers have to declare VERSION_1 support explicitly. For this reason we treat this bit as a device bit and not as a transport bit for now. After all drivers are converted, we will be able to move VERSION_1 to core and drop it from all drivers.
