[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 00/13] spapr: vfio: Enable Dynamic DMA windows (DDW)

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

At the moment sPAPR PHB supports only a single 32bit window
which is normally 1..2GB which is not enough for high performance devices.

PAPR spec enables creating an additional window(s) to support 64bit
DMA and bigger page sizes.

This patchset adds DDW support for pseries. The host kernel changes are
required.

This was tested on POWER8 system which allows one additional DMA window
which is mapped at 0x800.0000.0000.0000 and supports 16MB pages.
Existing guests check for DDW capabilities in PHB's device tree and if it
is present, they request for an additional window and map entire guest RAM
using H_PUT_TCE/... hypercalls once at boot time and switch to direct DMA
operations.

TCE tables still may be big enough for guests backed with 64K pages but they
are reasonably small for guests backed by 16MB pages.

Please comment. Thanks!

Changes:
v2:
* tested on emulated PHB
* removed "ddw" machine property, now it is PHB property
* disabled by default
* defined "pseries-2.2" machine which enables DDW by default
* fixed reset() and reference counting
