[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/7] KVM PCI/MSI passthrough with mach-virt

[Eric Auger]

This series enables KVM PCI/MSI passthrough with mach-virt.

A new memory region type is introduced (reserved iova). On
vfio_listener_region_add this IOVA region is registered to the kernel with
VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA (using the new VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_MSI_RESERVED_IOVA flag).

The host VFIO PCI driver then can use this IOVA window to map some host
physical addresses, accessed by passthrough'ed PCI devices, through the IOMMU.
The first goal is to map host MSI controller frames (GICv2M, GITS_TRANSLATER).

mach-virt currently instantiates a 16x64kB reserved IOVA window. This
provisions for future usage. Most probably this exceeds MSI binding needs.

The series includes Pranav/Tushar' series:
QEMU, [v2 0/2] Generic PCIe host bridge INTx determination for INTx routing
((https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-04/msg04361.html))

Those patches are not mandated for PCI/MSI passthrough to work but without
those, the following warning is observed and can puzzle the end-user:
"qemu-system-aarch64: PCI: Bug - unimplemented PCI INTx routing (gpex-pcihost)"

If prefered, this series can be maintained separately. I just put them here
for consistency.

Best Regards

Eric
