This doesn't seem right, it should be encapsulated into the standard DMABUF API in some way. Jason

[RFC v2 0/8] dma-buf: Add support for mapping dmabufs via interconnects

by Vivek Kasireddy

In a typical dma-buf use case, a dmabuf exporter makes its buffer buffer available to an importer by mapping it using DMA APIs such as dma_map_sgtable() or dma_map_resource(). However, this is not desirable in some cases where the exporter and importer are directly connected via a physical or virtual link (or interconnect) and the importer can access the buffer without having it DMA mapped. So, to address this scenario, this patch series adds APIs to map/ unmap dmabufs via interconnects and also provides a helper to identify the first common interconnect between the exporter and importer. Furthermore, this patch series also adds support for IOV interconnect in the vfio-pci driver and Intel Xe driver. The IOV interconnect is a virtual interconnect between an SRIOV physical function (PF) and its virtual functions (VFs). And, for the IOV interconnect, the addresses associated with a buffer are shared using an xarray (instead of an sg_table) that is populated with entries of type struct range. The dma-buf patches in this series are based on ideas/suggestions provided by Jason Gunthorpe, Christian Koenig and Thomas Hellström. Changelog: RFC -> RFCv2: - Add documentation for the new dma-buf APIs and types (Thomas) - Change the interconnect type from enum to unique pointer (Thomas) - Moved the new dma-buf APIs to a separate file - Store a copy of the interconnect matching data in the attachment - Simplified the macros to create and match interconnects - Use struct device instead of struct pci_dev in match data - Replace DRM_INTERCONNECT_DRIVER with XE_INTERCONNECT_VRAM during address encoding (Matt, Thomas) - Drop is_devmem_external and instead rely on bo->dma_data.dma_addr to check for imported VRAM BOs (Matt) - Pass XE_PAGE_SIZE as the last parameter to xe_bo_addr (Matt) - Add a check to prevent malicious VF from accessing other VF's addresses (Thomas) - Fallback to legacy (map_dma_buf) mapping method if mapping via interconnect fails Patchset overview: Patch 1-3: Add dma-buf APIs to map/unmap and match Patch 4: Add support for IOV interconnect in vfio-pci driver Patch 5: Add support for IOV interconnect in Xe driver Patch 6-8: Create and use a new dma_addr array for LMEM based dmabuf BOs to store translated addresses (DPAs) This series is rebased on top of the following repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git/log/?h=… Associated Qemu patch series: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20251003234138.85820-1-vivek.kasireddy@i… Associated vfio-pci patch series: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/cover.1760368250.git.leon@kernel.org/ This series is tested using the following method: - Run Qemu with the following relevant options: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096m .... -device ioh3420,id=root_port1,bus=pcie.0 -device x3130-upstream,id=upstream1,bus=root_port1 -device xio3130-downstream,id=downstream1,bus=upstream1,chassis=9 -device xio3130-downstream,id=downstream2,bus=upstream1,chassis=10 -device vfio-pci,host=0000:03:00.1,bus=downstream1 -device virtio-gpu,max_outputs=1,blob=true,xres=1920,yres=1080,bus=downstream2 -display gtk,gl=on -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=4096M -machine q35,accel=kvm,memory-backend=mem1 ... - Run Gnome Wayland with the following options in the Guest VM: # cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-primary-gpu.rules ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card1", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary", TAG+="mutter-device-disable-kms-modifiers" # XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session -- /usr/bin/gnome-shell --wayland --no-x11 & Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg(a)nvidia.com> Cc: Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com> Cc: Christian Koenig <christian.koenig(a)amd.com> Cc: Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal(a)linaro.org> Cc: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom(a)linux.intel.com> Cc: Simona Vetter <simona.vetter(a)ffwll.ch> Cc: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost(a)intel.com> Cc: Dongwon Kim <dongwon.kim(a)intel.com> Vivek Kasireddy (8): dma-buf: Add support for map/unmap APIs for interconnects dma-buf: Add a helper to match interconnects between exporter/importer dma-buf: Create and expose IOV interconnect to all exporters/importers vfio/pci/dmabuf: Add support for IOV interconnect drm/xe/dma_buf: Add support for IOV interconnect drm/xe/pf: Add a helper function to get a VF's backing object in LMEM drm/xe/bo: Create new dma_addr array for dmabuf BOs associated with VFs drm/xe/pt: Add an additional check for dmabuf BOs while doing bind drivers/dma-buf/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf-interconnect.c | 164 +++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 12 +- drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c | 162 ++++++++++++++++++-- drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo_types.h | 6 + drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_dma_buf.c | 17 ++- drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_gt_sriov_pf_config.c | 24 +++ drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_gt_sriov_pf_config.h | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_pt.c | 8 + drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_sriov_pf_types.h | 19 +++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c | 135 ++++++++++++++++- include/linux/dma-buf-interconnect.h | 122 +++++++++++++++ include/linux/dma-buf.h | 41 ++++++ 13 files changed, 691 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf-interconnect.c create mode 100644 include/linux/dma-buf-interconnect.h -- 2.50.1

by Leon Romanovsky

Changelog: v6: * Fixed wrong error check from pcim_p2pdma_init(). * Documented pcim_p2pdma_provider() function. * Improved commit messages. * Added VFIO DMA-BUF selftest. * Added __counted_by(nr_ranges) annotation to struct vfio_device_feature_dma_buf. * Fixed error unwind when dma_buf_fd() fails. * Document latest changes to p2pmem. * Removed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from pci_p2pdma_map_type. * Moved DMA mapping logic to DMA-BUF. * Removed types patch to avoid dependencies between subsystems. * Moved vfio_pci_dma_buf_move() in err_undo block. * Added nvgrace patch. v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1760368250.git.leon@kernel.org * Rebased on top of v6.18-rc1. * Added more validation logic to make sure that DMA-BUF length doesn't overflow in various scenarios. * Hide kernel config from the users. * Fixed type conversion issue. DMA ranges are exposed with u64 length, but DMA-BUF uses "unsigned int" as a length for SG entries. * Added check to prevent from VFIO drivers which reports BAR size different from PCI, do not use DMA-BUF functionality. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1759070796.git.leon@kernel.org * Split pcim_p2pdma_provider() to two functions, one that initializes array of providers and another to return right provider pointer. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1758804980.git.leon@kernel.org * Changed pcim_p2pdma_enable() to be pcim_p2pdma_provider(). * Cache provider in vfio_pci_dma_buf struct instead of BAR index. * Removed misleading comment from pcim_p2pdma_provider(). * Moved MMIO check to be in pcim_p2pdma_provider(). v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1757589589.git.leon@kernel.org/ * Added extra patch which adds new CONFIG, so next patches can reuse * it. * Squashed "PCI/P2PDMA: Remove redundant bus_offset from map state" into the other patch. * Fixed revoke calls to be aligned with true->false semantics. * Extended p2pdma_providers to be per-BAR and not global to whole * device. * Fixed possible race between dmabuf states and revoke. * Moved revoke to PCI BAR zap block. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1754311439.git.leon@kernel.org * Changed commit messages. * Reused DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute. * Returned support for multiple DMA ranges per-dMABUF. v0: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1753274085.git.leonro@nvidia.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on "[PATCH v6 00/16] dma-mapping: migrate to physical address-based API" https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1757423202.git.leonro@nvidia.com/ series. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This series extends the VFIO PCI subsystem to support exporting MMIO regions from PCI device BARs as dma-buf objects, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations. The series supports a use case for SPDK where a NVMe device will be owned by SPDK through VFIO but interacting with a RDMA device. The RDMA device may directly access the NVMe CMB or directly manipulate the NVMe device's doorbell using PCI P2P. However, as a general mechanism, it can support many other scenarios with VFIO. This dmabuf approach can be usable by iommufd as well for generic and safe P2P mappings. In addition to the SPDK use-case mentioned above, the capability added in this patch series can also be useful when a buffer (located in device memory such as VRAM) needs to be shared between any two dGPU devices or instances (assuming one of them is bound to VFIO PCI) as long as they are P2P DMA compatible. The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace. The series includes significant refactoring of the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation features, making it more modular and suitable for VFIO use cases that don't need struct page support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The series is based originally on https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250307052248.405803-1-vivek.kasireddy@intel.c… but heavily rewritten to be based on DMA physical API. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The WIP branch can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git/log/?h=… Thanks --- Jason Gunthorpe (2): PCI/P2PDMA: Document DMABUF model vfio/nvgrace: Support get_dmabuf_phys Leon Romanovsky (7): PCI/P2PDMA: Separate the mmap() support from the core logic PCI/P2PDMA: Simplify bus address mapping API PCI/P2PDMA: Refactor to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation PCI/P2PDMA: Provide an access to pci_p2pdma_map_type() function dma-buf: provide phys_vec to scatter-gather mapping routine vfio/pci: Enable peer-to-peer DMA transactions by default vfio/pci: Add dma-buf export support for MMIO regions Vivek Kasireddy (2): vfio: Export vfio device get and put registration helpers vfio/pci: Share the core device pointer while invoking feature functions Documentation/driver-api/pci/p2pdma.rst | 95 +++++++--- block/blk-mq-dma.c | 2 +- drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c | 235 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c | 4 +- drivers/pci/p2pdma.c | 182 +++++++++++++----- drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig | 3 + drivers/vfio/pci/Makefile | 1 + drivers/vfio/pci/nvgrace-gpu/main.c | 56 ++++++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c | 5 + drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c | 22 ++- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_core.c | 56 ++++-- drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_dmabuf.c | 315 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_priv.h | 23 +++ drivers/vfio/vfio_main.c | 2 + include/linux/dma-buf.h | 18 ++ include/linux/pci-p2pdma.h | 120 +++++++----- include/linux/vfio.h | 2 + include/linux/vfio_pci_core.h | 42 +++++ include/uapi/linux/vfio.h | 27 +++ kernel/dma/direct.c | 4 +- mm/hmm.c | 2 +- 21 files changed, 1077 insertions(+), 139 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 3a8660878839faadb4f1a6dd72c3179c1df56787 change-id: 20251016-dmabuf-vfio-6cef732adf5a Best regards, -- Leon Romanovsky <leonro(a)nvidia.com>
