There seems to be an ongoing desire to use userspace, vfio-based
drivers for both SR-IOV PF and VF devices.  The fundamental issue
with this concept is that the VF is not fully independent of the PF
driver.  Minimally the PF driver might be able to deny service to the
VF, VF data paths might be dependent on the state of the PF device,
or the PF my have some degree of ability to inspect or manipulate the
VF data.  It therefore would seem irresponsible to unleash VFs onto
the system, managed by a user owned PF.

We address this in a few ways in this series.  First, we can use a bus
notifier and the driver_override facility to make sure VFs are bound
to the vfio-pci driver by default.  This should eliminate the chance
that a VF is accidentally bound and used by host drivers.  We don't
however remove the ability for a host admin to change this override.

The next issue we need to address is how we let userspace drivers
opt-in to this participation with the PF driver.  We do not want an
admin to be able to unwittingly assign one of these VFs to a tenant
that isn't working in collaboration with the PF driver.  We could use
IOMMU grouping, but this seems to push too far towards tightly coupled
PF and VF drivers.  This series introduces a "VF token", implemented
as a UUID, as a shared secret between PF and VF drivers.  The token
needs to be set by the PF driver and used as part of the device
matching by the VF driver.  Provisions in the code also account for
restarting the PF driver with active VF drivers, requiring the PF to
use the current token to re-gain access to the PF.

The above solutions introduce a bit of a modification to the VFIO ABI
and an additional ABI extension.  The modification is that the
VFIO_GROUP_GET_DEVICE_FD ioctl is specified to require a char string
from the user providing the device name.  For this solution, we extend
the syntax to allow the device name followed by key/value pairs.  In
this case we add "vf_token=3e7e882e-1daf-417f-ad8d-882eea5ee337", for
example.  These options are expected to be space separated.  Matching
these key/value pairs is entirely left to the vfio bus driver (ex.
vfio-pci) and the internal ops structure is extended to allow this
optional support.  This extension should be fully backwards compatible
to existing userspace, such code will simply fail to open these newly
exposed devices, as intended.

I've been debating whether instead of the above we should allow the
user to get the device fd as normal, but restrict the interfaces until
the user authenticates, but I'm afraid this would be a less backwards
compatible solution.  It would be just as unclear to the user why a
device read/write/mmap/ioctl failed as it might be to why getting the
device fd could fail.  However in the latter case, I believe we do a
better job of restricting how far userspace code might go before they
ultimately fail.  I'd welcome discussion in the space, and or course
the extension of the GET_DEVICE_FD string.

Finally, the user needs to be able to set a VF token.  I add a
VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE ioctl for this that's meant to be reusable for
getting, setting, and probing arbitrary features of a device.

I'll reply to this cover letter with a very basic example of a QEMU
update to support this interface, though I haven't found a device yet
that behaves well with the PF running in one VM with the VF in
another, or really even just a PF running in a VM with SR-IOV enabled.
I know these devices exist though, and I suspect QEMU will not be the
primary user of this support for now, but this behavior reaffirms my
concerns to prevent mis-use.

Please comment.  In particular, does this approach meet the DPDK needs
for userspace PF and VF drivers, with the hopefully minor hurdle of
sharing a token between drivers.  The token is of course left to
userspace how to manage, and might be static (and not very secret) for
a given set of drivers.  Thanks,

Alex

Allow bus drivers to provide their own callback to match a device to
the user provided string.

If we enable SR-IOV on a vfio-pci owned PF, the resulting VFs are not
fully isolated from the PF.  The PF can always cause a denial of
service to the VF, if not access data passed through the VF directly.
This is why vfio-pci currently does not bind to PFs with SR-IOV enabled
and does not provide access itself to enabling SR-IOV on a PF.  The
IOMMU grouping mechanism might allow us a solution to this lack of
isolation, however the deficiency isn't actually in the DMA path, so
much as the potential cooperation between PF and VF devices.  Also,
if we were to force VFs into the same IOMMU group as the PF, we severely
limit the utility of having independent drivers managing PFs and VFs
with vfio.

Therefore we introduce the concept of a VF token.  The token is
implemented as a UUID and represents a shared secret which must be set
by the PF driver and used by the VF drivers in order to access a vfio
device file descriptor for the VF.  The ioctl to set the VF token will
be provided in a later commit, this commit implements the underlying
infrastructure.  The concept here is to augment the string the user
passes to match a device within a group in order to retrieve access to
the device descriptor.  For example, rather than passing only the PCI
device name (ex. "0000:03:00.0") the user would also pass a vf_token
UUID (ex. "2ab74924-c335-45f4-9b16-8569e5b08258").  The device match
string therefore becomes:

"0000:03:00.0 vf_token=2ab74924-c335-45f4-9b16-8569e5b08258"

This syntax is expected to be extensible to future options as well, with
the standard being:

"$DEVICE_NAME $OPTION1=$VALUE1 $OPTION2=$VALUE2"

The device name must be first and option=value pairs are separated by
spaces.

The vf_token option is only required for VFs where the PF device is
bound to vfio-pci.  There is no change for PFs using existing host
drivers.

Note that in order to protect existing VF users, not only is it required
to set a vf_token on the PF before VFs devices can be accessed, but also
if there are existing VF users, (re)opening the PF device must also
provide the current vf_token as authentication.  This is intended to
prevent a VF driver starting with a trusted PF driver and later being
replaced by an unknown driver.  A vf_token is not required to open the
PF device when none of the VF devices are in use by vfio-pci drivers.

The VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE ioctl is meant to be a general purpose, device
agnostic ioctl for setting, retrieving, and probing device features.
This implementation provides a 16-bit field for specifying a feature
index, where the data porition of the ioctl is determined by the
semantics for the given feature.  Additional flag bits indicate the
direction and nature of the operation; SET indicates user data is
provided into the device feature, GET indicates the device feature is
written out into user data.  The PROBE flag augments determining
whether the given feature is supported, and if provided, whether the
given operation on the feature is supported.

The first user of this ioctl is for setting the vfio-pci VF token,
where the user provides a shared secret key (UUID) on a SR-IOV PF
device, which users must provide when opening associated VF devices.

With the VF Token interface we can now expect that a vfio userspace
driver must be in collaboration with the PF driver, an unwitting
userspace driver will not be able to get past the GET_DEVICE_FD step
in accessing the device.  We can now move on to actually allowing
SR-IOV to be enabled by vfio-pci on the PF.  Support for this is not
enabled by default in this commit, but it does provide a module option
for this to be enabled (enable_sriov=1).  Enabling VFs is rather
straightforward, except we don't want to risk that a VF might get
autoprobed and bound to other drivers, so a bus notifier is used to
"capture" VFs to vfio-pci using the driver_override support.  We
assume any later action to bind the device to other drivers is
condoned by the system admin and allow it with a log warning.

vfio-pci will disable SR-IOV on a PF before releasing the device,
allowing a VF driver to be assured other drivers cannot take over the
PF and that any other userspace driver must know the shared VF token.
This support also does not provide a mechanism for the PF userspace
driver itself to manipulate SR-IOV.  With this patch SR-IOV can only
be enabled via the host sysfs interface and the PF driver user cannot
create and remove VF.

It currently results in messages like:

 "vfio-pci 0000:03:00.0: vfio_pci: ..."

Which is quite a bit redundant.

Promised example QEMU test case...

commit 3557c63bcb286c71f3f7242cad632edd9e297d26
Author: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Feb 4 13:47:41 2020 -0700

    vfio-pci: QEMU support for vfio-pci VF tokens
    
    Example support for using a vf_token to gain access to a device as
    well as using the VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE interface to set the VF token.
    Note that the kernel will disregard the additional option where it's
    not required, such as opening the PF with no VF users, so we can
    always provide it.
    
    NB. It's unclear whether there's value to this QEMU support without
    further exposure of SR-IOV within a VM.  This is meant mostly as a
    test case where the real initial users will likely be DPDK drivers.

That is just such a bad idea.  Using VFs in the host is a perfectly
valid use case that you are breaking.

Hi Alex,

Is this series to make PF be bound-able to vfio-pci even SR-IOV is
enabled on such PFs? If yes, is it allowed to assign PF to a VM? or
it can only be used by userspace applications like DPDK?

How about the scenario in which PF driver is vfio-based userspace
driver but VF drivers are mixed. This means not all VFs are bound
to vfio-based userspace driver. Is it also supported here? :-)

So vfio_token is a kind of per-PF token?

Just curious how UUID is used across the test. Should the QEMU
which opens VFs add the vfio_token=UUID or the QEMU which
opens PF add the vfio_token=UUID? or both should add vfio_token=UUID.

vfio-pci currently does not allow binding to a PF with VFs enabled and
does not provide an sriov_configure callback, so it's not possible to
have VFs on a vfio-pci bound PF.  Therefore I'm not breaking any
existing use cases.  I'm also not preventing VFs from being used in the
host, I only set a default driver_override value, which can be replaced
if a different driver binding is desired.  So I also don't see that I'm
breaking a usage model here.  I do stand by the idea that VFs sourced
from a user owned PF should not by default be used in the host (ie.
autoprobed on device add).  There's a pci-pf-stub driver that can be
used to create VFs on a PF if no userspace access of the PF is required.
Thanks,

Alex

No, this series does not change the behavior of vfio-pci with respect
to probing a PF where VFs are already enabled.  This is still
disallowed.  I haven't seen a use case that requires this and allowing
it tends to subvert the restrictions here.  For instance, if an
existing VF is already in use by a vfio-pci driver, the PF can
transition from a trusted host driver to an unknown userspace driver.

It's allowed.  Userspace VF drivers will need to participate in the VF
token scheme, host drivers may be bound to VFs normally after removing
the default driver_override.  Thanks,

Yes, the token is per-PF.  Note that the token can be changed and it
does not "de-authenticate" opened VFs.  Thanks,

In this example we do both as this covers the case where there are
existing VF users, which requires the PF to also provide the vf_token.
If there are no VF users, the PF is not required to provide a vf_token
and vfio-pci will not fail the device match if a vf_token is provided
but not needed.  In fact, when a PF is probed by vfio-pci a random
vf_token is set, so it's required to use a PF driver to set a known
vf_token before any VF users can access their VFs.  Thanks,

Alex

I'm wondering about these conventions.

If you basically want a tri-state return (match, don't match/continue,
don't match/stop), putting -ENODEV and >0 together feels odd. I would
rather expect either
- < 0 == don't match/stop, 0 == don't match/continue, > 0 == match, or
- 0 == match, -ENODEV (or some other defined error) == don't
  match/continue, all other values == don't match/abort?

So sort of a bool + errno.  I shied away from this because returning
zero for success, or match, is such a common semantic, especially when
we're replacing a simple strcmp().  I suppose it's logically just
!strcmp() though, which avoids the abort case for a simple
implementation like patch 2/7.

This is closest to what I arrived at in this version, but I found it
necessary to exclude positive values from the no-match/abort and
consider them as no-match/continue because I didn't want to assume the
errno for that case.

I think with your first option we arrive at something like this:

Thanks Alex for the series. DPDK realizes this use-case through, an out of
tree igb_uio module, for non VFIO devices. Supporting this use case, with
VFIO, will be a great enhancement for DPDK as we are planning to
get rid of out of tree modules any focus only on userspace aspects.

From the DPDK perspective, we have following use-cases

1) VF representer or OVS/vSwitch  use cases where
DPDK PF acts as an HW switch to steer traffic to VF
using the rte_flow library backed by HW CAMs.

2) Unlike, other PCI class of devices, Network class of PCIe devices
would have additional
capability on the PF devices such as promiscuous mode support etc
leverage that in DPDK
PF and VF use cases.

That would boil down to the use of the following topology.
a)  PF bound to DPDK/VFIO  and  VF bound to Linux
b)  PF bound to DPDK/VFIO  and  VF bound to DPDK/VFIO

Tested the use case (a) and it works this patch. Tested use case(b), it
works with patch provided both PF and VF under the same application.

Regarding the use case where  PF bound to DPDK/VFIO and
VF bound to DPDK/VFIO are _two different_ processes then sharing the UUID
will be a little tricky thing in terms of usage. But if that is the
purpose of bringing
UUID to the equation then it fine.

Overall this series looks good to me.  We can test the next non-RFC
series and give
Tested-by by after testing with DPDK.

Thanks Alex, it looks to be a great improvement.

In the meantime, DPDK is going to move igb_uio (an out-of-tree
Linux kernel module) from the main DPDK repository to a side-repo.
This move and this patchset will hopefully encourage using VFIO.
As Jerin said, DPDK prefers relying on upstream Linux modules.

Thanks Jerin, that's great feedback.  For case b), it is rather the
intention of the shared VF token proposed here that it imposes some
small barrier in validating the collaboration between the PF and VF
drivers.  In a trusted environment, a common UUID might be exposed in a
shared file and the same token could be used by all PFs and VFs on the
system, or datacenter.  The goal is simply to make sure the
collaboration is explicit, I don't want to be fielding support issues
from users assigning PFs and VFs to unrelated VM instances or
unintentionally creating your scenario a) configuration.

With the positive response from you and Thomas, I'll post a non-RFC
version and barring any blockers maybe we can get this in for the v5.7
kernel.  Thanks,

Alex

Yes. Makes sense from kernel PoV.

DPDK side, probably we will end in hardcoded UUID value.

The tricky part would DPDK PF and QEMU VF integration case.
I am not sure about that integration( a command-line option for UUID) or
something more sophisticated orchestration. Anyway, it is clear from
kernel side,
Something needs to be sorted with the QEMU community.
