Sorry if I misunderstood - is this for nested?
I'm a bit confused here... IIUC in your previous patches you didn't
really implement guest_mode==1 case in IRTEs. So if you have this set
then the guest should be able to setup IRTEs with guest_mode==1? How
did it work?
Yes, sometime spec can be confusing ;) let me see if I can explain it.
Suravee, please correct me if I misunderstood something
- A legacy interrupt remap support is available on all IOMMU versions.
Guest OS makes the decision whether to use the feature. Guest OS
sets the IV bit in DTE to indicate when there is a valid interrupt
map (See Table 7 DTE definition).
In this mode, IRTE is 32-bit. The field details are available
in Table 20 - Section 2.2.5.2. The third patch in this series
implements the support for this case.
This is correct.
- When AVIC is used in the guest, the intr remap logic is different.
Based on the guest_mode, IOMMU and AVIC may need to work together
to remap the interrupts (IOMMU spec refers this as Guest Virtual APIC
Enabled -- Section 2.2.5.3).
The GASup bit in extended feature register and IVHD IOMMU feature
reporting field in IVRS are used to tell whether the IOMMU supports
intr remap when AVIC is enabled in the guest.
In this mode, the IRTE is 128-bit.
GASup is a prereq for GAMSup and several other features in the future.
To make things interesting, there is a GAMSup bit in extended
feature register. It is used by IOMMU to tell the AVIC supported
modes:
a) 0 = intr_remap only (i.e IOMMU can remap the interrupt on its own)
b) 1 = Both guest AVIC and IOMMU will work together to remap the intr
The patch 5 in the series implements the intr_remap (#a)
I have not implemented the mode=1. I am not sure if its worth
implementing this mode for the emulated IOMMU case.
See Table 21 for control knobs from IOMMU. This patch series
implements the first three rows.
GAMSup is guest virtual APIC mode (aka AVIC), and for vIOMMU case,
would be used for nested VM. This is not currently supported for vIOMMU,

Suravee
