v2:
- fix patchew code style warnings
- interval tree: postpone malloc when inserting; simplify node remove
a bit where proper [Jason]
- fix up comment and commit message for iommu lock patch [Kevin]
- protect context cache too using the iommu lock [Kevin, Jason]
- add vast comment in patch 8 to explain the modify-PTE problem
[Jason, Kevin]

Online repo:

https://github.com/xzpeter/qemu/tree/fix-vtd-dma

This series fixes several major problems that current code has:

- Issue 1: when getting very big PSI UNMAP invalidations, the current
code is buggy in that we might skip the notification while actually
we should always send that notification.

- Issue 2: IOTLB is not thread safe, while block dataplane can be
accessing and updating it in parallel.

- Issue 3: For devices that only registered with UNMAP-only notifiers,
we don't really need to do page walking for PSIs, we can directly
deliver the notification down. For example, vhost.

- Issue 4: unsafe window for MAP notified devices like vfio-pci (and
in the future, vDPA as well). The problem is that, now for domain
invalidations we do this to make sure the shadow page tables are
correctly synced:

1. unmap the whole address space
2. replay the whole address space, map existing pages

However during step 1 and 2 there will be a very tiny window (it can
be as big as 3ms) that the shadow page table is either invalid or
incomplete (since we're rebuilding it up). That's fatal error since
devices never know that happending and it's still possible to DMA to
memories.

Patch 1 fixes issue 1. I put it at the first since it's picked from
an old post.

Patch 2 is a cleanup to remove useless IntelIOMMUNotifierNode struct.

Patch 3 fixes issue 2.

Patch 4 fixes issue 3.

Patch 5-9 fix issue 4. Here a very simple interval tree is
implemented based on Gtree. It's different with general interval tree
in that it does not allow user to pass in private data (e.g.,
translated addresses). However that benefits us that then we can
merge adjacent interval leaves so that hopefully we won't consume much
memory even if the mappings are a lot (that happens for nested virt -
when mapping the whole L2 guest RAM range, it can be at least in GBs).

Patch 10 is another big cleanup only can work after patch 9.

Tests:

- device assignments to L1, even L2 guests. With this series applied
(and the kernel IOMMU patches: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/18/5),
we can even nest vIOMMU now, e.g., we can specify vIOMMU in L2 guest
with assigned devices and things will work. We can't before.

- vhost smoke test for regression.

Please review. Thanks,

During IOVA page table walking, there is a special case when the PSI
covers one whole PDE (Page Directory Entry, which contains 512 Page
Table Entries) or more. In the past, we skip that entry and we don't
notify the IOMMU notifiers. This is not correct. We should send UNMAP
notification to registered UNMAP notifiers in this case.

For UNMAP only notifiers, this might cause IOTLBs cached in the devices
even if they were already invalid. For MAP/UNMAP notifiers like
vfio-pci, this will cause stale page mappings.

This special case doesn't trigger often, but it is very easy to be
triggered by nested device assignments, since in that case we'll
possibly map the whole L2 guest RAM region into the device's IOVA
address space (several GBs at least), which is far bigger than normal
kernel driver usages of the device (tens of MBs normally).

Without this patch applied to L1 QEMU, nested device assignment to L2
guests will dump some errors like:

qemu-system-x86_64: VFIO_MAP_DMA: -17
qemu-system-x86_64: vfio_dma_map(0x557305420c30, 0xad000, 0x1000,
0x7f89a920d000) = -17 (File exists)

For UNMAP-only IOMMU notifiers, we don't really need to walk the page
tables. Fasten that procedure by skipping the page table walk. That
should boost performance for UNMAP-only notifiers like vhost.

That is not really necessary. Removing that node struct and put the
list entry directly into VTDAddressSpace. It simplfies the code a lot.

Add a per-iommu big lock to protect IOMMU status. Currently the only
thing to be protected is the IOTLB/context cache, since that can be
accessed even without BQL, e.g., in IO dataplane.

Note that we don't need to protect device page tables since that's fully
controlled by the guest kernel. However there is still possibility that
malicious drivers will program the device to not obey the rule. In that
case QEMU can't really do anything useful, instead the guest itself will
be responsible for all uncertainties.

Introduce a simplest interval tree implementation based on GTree.
Current implementation is mostly tailored to maintain and trace device
mapped IOVA ranges, but still it might be useful to other modules in the
future.

It is naive in that it even does not allow user to pass in private
structs along with the ranges. However it's good in that the tree can
do mergings of ranges when necessary when without such information.

We pass in the VTDAddressSpace to replace the aw bits when doing page
walk. The VTDAddressSpace contains the aw bits information, meanwhile
we'll need to do something more in the follow up patches regarding to
the address spaces.

For each VTDAddressSpace, now we maintain what IOVA ranges we have
mapped and what we have not. With that information, now we only send
MAP or UNMAP when necessary. Say, we don't send MAP notifies if we know
we have already mapped the range, meanwhile we don't send UNMAP notifies
if we know we never mapped the range at all.

During the recursive page walking of IOVA page tables, some stack
variables are constant variables and never changed during the whole page
walking procedure. Isolate them into a struct so that we don't need to
pass those contants down the stack every time and multiple times.

IOMMU replay was carried out before in many use cases, e.g., context
cache invalidations, domain flushes. We used this mechanism to sync the
shadow page table by firstly (1) unmap the whole address space, then
(2) walk the page table to remap what's in the table.

This is very dangerous.

The problem is that we'll have a very small window (in my measurement,
it can be about 3ms) during above step (1) and (2) that the device will
see no (or incomplete) device page table. Howerver the device never
knows that. This can cause DMA error of devices, who assumes the page
table is always there.

So the point is that, for MAP typed notifiers (vfio-pci, for example)
they'll need the mapped page entries always be there. We can never
unmap any existing page entries like what we did in (1) above.

The only solution is to remove step (1). We can't do that before since
we didn't know what device page was mapped and what was not, so we unmap
them all. Now with the new IOVA tree QEMU knows what has mapped and
what has not. We don't need this step (1) any more. Remove it.

Note that after removing that global unmap flushing, we'll need to
notify unmap now during page walkings.

This should fix the DMA error problem that Jintack Lim reported with
nested device assignment. This problem won't not happen always, e.g., I
cannot reproduce the error. However after collecting logs it shows that
this is the possible cause to Jintack's problem.

Now after previous changes, we will always pass that parameter as true
now. Remove it. After removing that variable, now we can greatly
simplify the page walking logic.

No functional change at all.

We can hold a bit on reviewing this series. Jintack reported a scp
DMAR issue that might happen even with L1 guest with this series, and
the scp can stall after copied tens or hundreds of MBs randomly. I'm
still investigating the problem. This problem should be related to
deferred flushing of VT-d kernel driver, since the problem will go
away if we use "intel_iommu=on,strict". However I'm still trying to
figure out what's the thing behind the scene even with that deferred
flushing feature.

Meanwhile, during the investigation I found another "possibly valid"
use case about the modify-PTE problem that Jason has mentioned when
with deferred flushing:

vcpu1 vcpu2
map page A
explicitly send PSI for A
queue unmap page A [1]
map the same page A [2]
explcitly send PSI for A [3]
flush unmap page A [4]

Due to deferred flushing, the UNMAP PSI might be postponed (or it can
be finally a DSI) from step [1] to step [4]. If we allocate the same
page somewhere else, we might trigger this modify-PTE at [2] since we
haven't yet received the deferred PSI to unmap A from vcpu1.

Note that this will not happen with latest upstream Linux, since the
IOVA allocation algorithm in current Linux kernel made sure that the
IOVA range won't be freed until [4], so we can't really allocate the
same page address at [2]. However this let me tend to agree with
Jason and Kevin's worry on future potential issues if that can be
triggered easily by common guest kernel bugs. So now I'm considering
to drop my mergable interval tree but just use a simpler tree to cache
everything including translated addresses. The metadata will possibly
take 2% of managed memory if with that.

- fix patchew code style warnings
- interval tree: postpone malloc when inserting; simplify node remove
a bit where proper [Jason]
- fix up comment and commit message for iommu lock patch [Kevin]
- protect context cache too using the iommu lock [Kevin, Jason]
- add vast comment in patch 8 to explain the modify-PTE problem
[Jason, Kevin]
We can hold a bit on reviewing this series. Jintack reported a scp
DMAR issue that might happen even with L1 guest with this series, and
the scp can stall after copied tens or hundreds of MBs randomly. I'm
still investigating the problem. This problem should be related to
deferred flushing of VT-d kernel driver, since the problem will go
away if we use "intel_iommu=on,strict". However I'm still trying to

I vaguely remember recent upstream vfio support delayed flush, maybe
it's related.

Yes, so the vfio + vIOMMU work will probably uncover more bugs in the
IOMMU driver (especially CM mode). I suspect CM mode does not have
sufficient test (since it probably wasn't used in any production
environment before the vfio + vIOMMU work).

Good to know this, we can start from the way we know correct for sure
then optimizations on top.

Thanks
