[PATCH 0/2] s390x/pci: relax I/O address translation requirement


From: Matthew Rosato
Subject: [PATCH 0/2] s390x/pci: relax I/O address translation requirement
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2024 14:29:25 -0500

This series introduces the concept of the relaxed translation requirement
for s390x guests in order to allow bypass of the guest IOMMU for more
efficient PCI passthrough.

With this series, QEMU can indicate to the guest that an IOMMU is not
strictly required for a zPCI device.  This would subsequently allow a
guest linux to use iommu.passthrough=1 and bypass their guest IOMMU for
PCI devices.

When this occurs, QEMU will note the behavior via an intercepted MPCIFC
instruction and will fill the host iommu with mappings of the entire
guest address space in response.

There is a kernel series [1] that adds the relevant behavior needed to
exploit this new feature from within a s390x linux guest.
