[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/9] basic channel IO passthrough infrastructure based on vfio

[Xiao Feng Ren]

The patch series introduce a basic channel I/O passthrough
infrastructure based on vfio.
- Focus on supporting dasd-eckd(cu_type/dev_type = 0x3990/0x3390) as
  the target device. 
- Support new qemu parameters in the style of:
   "-machine s390-ccw-virtio(,s390-map-css=on|off) ... 
    -device vfio-ccw,id=xx,hostid=xx(,guestid=xx)".
  We want to support real (i.e. not virtual) channel devices even for
  guests that do not support MCSS-E (where guests may see devices from
  any channel subsystem image at once). As all virtio-ccw devices are in
  css 0xfe (and show up in the default css 0 for guests not activating
  MCSS-E), we need an option to map e.g. passed-through channel devices
  from their real css (0-3, or 0 for hosts not activating MCSS-E) into
  the default css, that is what the new machine option s390-map-css is
  added.
- According to the user-space ccw format, which was introduced by the
  vfio-ccw patches of the kernel part, assemble the ccw program in qemu.
  This 'ccw program' would then be transported to the kernel via a
  dedicated ioctl for further processing(e.g. translation in kernel
  space), and issuing it to the real device.
  Overview of the user-space ccw translation(translate 'guest ccw
  program' to 'user-space ccw program'):
  1. Allocate a 4K memory buffer in user-space to store all of the ccw
     program information.
     * Lower 2k of the buffer are used to store a maximum of 256 ccws.
       These ccws are copied from 'guest ccw program' and placed one
       after another.
     * Upper 2k of the buffer are used to store a maximum of 256
       corresponding cda data sets, each having a length of 8 bytes.
  2. For TIC ccw.
     * Locate the TIC target ccw inside the ccw area, and calculate its
       offset.
     * Store the offset to ccw.cda.
  3. For Direct ccw.
     * Find the cda entry with the same index as the ccw.
     * Store the user virtual address of the original ccw.cda to the cda
       entry.
     * Store the offset of the cda entry to ccw.cda.
  4. For IDAL ccw.
     * Find the cda entry with the same index as the ccw.
     * Prepare the user-space idaws. Store the virtual address of the
       idaws to the cda entry.
     * Store the offset of the cda entry to ccw.cda.
  5. Append a NOOP to the chain end.
  6. Expectations for the user-space ccw program I/O result:
     CPA of SCSW should be set to the offset of the ccw area of the
     current ccw.
