VDUSE is a framework that makes it +possible to implement software-emulated vDPA devices in userspace. + +How VDUSE works +------------ +Each userspace vDPA device is created by the VDUSE_CREATE_DEV ioctl on +the character device (/dev/vduse/control). Then a device file with the +specified name (/dev/vduse/$NAME) will appear, which can be used to +implement the userspace vDPA device's control path and data path. + +To implement control path, a message-based communication protocol and some +types of control messages are introduced in the VDUSE framework: + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_ADDR: Set the vring address of virtqueue. + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_NUM: Set the size of virtqueue + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_READY: Set ready status of virtqueue + +- VDUSE_GET_VQ_READY: Get ready status of virtqueue + +- VDUSE_SET_VQ_STATE: Set the state for virtqueue + +- VDUSE_GET_VQ_STATE: Get the state for virtqueue + +- VDUSE_SET_FEATURES: Set virtio features supported by the driver + +- VDUSE_GET_FEATURES: Get virtio features supported by the device + +- VDUSE_SET_STATUS: Set the device status + +- VDUSE_GET_STATUS: Get the device status + +- VDUSE_SET_CONFIG: Write to device specific configuration space + +- VDUSE_GET_CONFIG: Read from device specific configuration space + +- VDUSE_UPDATE_IOTLB: Notify userspace to update the memory mapping in device IOTLB + +Those control messages are mostly based on the vdpa_config_ops in +include/linux/vdpa.h which defines a unified interface to control +different types of vdpa device. Userspace needs to read()/write() +on the VDUSE device file to receive/reply those control messages +from/to VDUSE kernel module as follows: + +.. code-block:: c + + static int vduse_message_handler(int dev_fd) + { + int len; + struct vduse_dev_request req; + struct vduse_dev_response resp; + + len = read(dev_fd, &req, sizeof(req)); + if (len != sizeof(req)) + return -1; + + resp.request_id = req.unique; + + switch (req.type) { + + /* handle different types of message */ + + } + + len = write(dev_fd, &resp, sizeof(resp)); + if (len != sizeof(resp)) + return -1; + + return 0; + } + +In the deta path, vDPA device's iova regions will be mapped into userspace +with the help of VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD ioctl on the VDUSE device file: + +- VDUSE_IOTLB_GET_FD: get the file descriptor to iova region. Userspace can + access this iova region by passing the fd to mmap(). + +Besides, the following ioctls on the VDUSE device file are provided to support +interrupt injection and setting up eventfd for virtqueue kicks: + +- VDUSE_VQ_SETUP_KICKFD: set the kickfd for virtqueue, this eventfd is used + by VDUSE kernel module to notify userspace to consume the vring. + +- VDUSE_INJECT_VQ_IRQ: inject an interrupt for specific virtqueue + +- VDUSE_INJECT_CONFIG_IRQ: inject a config interrupt + +MMU-based IOMMU Driver +---------------------- +In virtio-vdpa case, VDUSE framework implements an MMU-based on-chip IOMMU +driver to support mapping the kernel DMA buffer into the userspace iova +region dynamically. + +The basic idea behind this driver is treating MMU (VA->PA) as IOMMU (IOVA->PA). +The driver will set up MMU mapping instead of IOMMU mapping for the DMA transfer +so that the userspace process is able to use its virtual address to access +the DMA buffer in kernel. + +And to avoid security issue, a bounce-buffering mechanism is introduced to +prevent userspace accessing the original buffer directly which may contain other +kernel data. During the mapping, unmapping, the driver will copy the data from +the original buffer to the bounce buffer and back, depending on the direction of +the transfer. And the bounce-buffer addresses will be mapped into the user address +space instead of the original one.
