The PFN must also be aligned to the fault order to insert a huge

<content type='text'>
Align the page tracking maximum message size with the device's
capability instead of relying on PAGE_SIZE.

This adjustment resolves a mismatch on systems where PAGE_SIZE is 64K,
but the firmware only supports a maximum message size of 4K.

Now that we rely on the device's capability for max_message_size, we
must account for potential future increases in its value.

Key considerations include:
- Supporting message sizes that exceed a single system page (e.g., an 8K
  message on a 4K system).
- Ensuring the RQ size is adjusted to accommodate at least 4
  WQEs/messages, in line with the device specification.

The above has been addressed as part of the patch.

<title>vfio/pci: Properly hide first-in-list PCIe extended capability</title>
<updated>2024-11-25T15:34:22+00:00</updated>

<name>Avihai Horon</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=fe4bf8d0b6716a423b16495d55b35d3fe515905d'/>
<id>fe4bf8d0b6716a423b16495d55b35d3fe515905d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are cases where a PCIe extended capability should be hidden from
the user. For example, an unknown capability (i.e., capability with ID
greater than PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX) or a capability that is intentionally
chosen to be hidden from the user.

Hiding a capability is done by virtualizing and modifying the 'Next
Capability Offset' field of the previous capability so it points to the
capability after the one that should be hidden.

The special case where the first capability in the list should be hidden
is handled differently because there is no previous capability that can
be modified. In this case, the capability ID and version are zeroed
while leaving the next pointer intact. This hides the capability and
leaves an anchor for the rest of the capability list.

However, today, hiding the first capability in the list is not done
properly if the capability is unknown, as struct
vfio_pci_core_device-&gt;pci_config_map is set to the capability ID during
initialization but the capability ID is not properly checked later when
used in vfio_config_do_rw(). This leads to the following warning [1] and
to an out-of-bounds access to ecap_perms array.

Fix it by checking cap_id in vfio_config_do_rw(), and if it is greater
than PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX, use an alternative struct perm_bits for direct
read only access instead of the ecap_perms array.

Note that this is safe since the above is the only case where cap_id can
exceed PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_MAX (except for the special capabilities, which
are already checked before).

Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages().

If a set of pages is allocated but fails to be added to the SG table,
they need to be freed to prevent a memory leak.

Any pages successfully added to the SG table will be freed as part of
mlx5vf_free_data_buffer().

<title>vfio/virtio: Enable live migration once VIRTIO_PCI was configured</title>

Now that the driver supports live migration, only the legacy IO
functionality depends on config VIRTIO_PCI_ADMIN_LEGACY.

As part of that we introduce a bool configuration option as a sub menu
under the driver's main live migration feature named
VIRTIO_VFIO_PCI_ADMIN_LEGACY, to control the legacy IO functionality.

This will let users configuring the kernel, know which features from the
description might be available in the resulting driver.

As of that, move the legacy IO into a separate file to be compiled only
once CONFIG_VIRTIO_VFIO_PCI_ADMIN_LEGACY was configured and let the live
migration depends only on VIRTIO_PCI.

<title>vfio/virtio: Add PRE_COPY support for live migration</title>

Add PRE_COPY support for live migration.

This functionality may reduce the downtime upon STOP_COPY as of letting
the target machine to get some 'initial data' from the source once the
machine is still in its RUNNING state and let it prepares itself
pre-ahead to get the final STOP_COPY data.

As the Virtio specification does not support reading partial or
incremental device contexts. This means that during the PRE_COPY state,
the vfio-virtio driver reads the full device state.

As the device state can be changed and the benefit is highest when the
pre copy data closely matches the final data we read it in a rate
limiter mode.

This means we avoid reading new data from the device for a specified
time interval after the last read.

With PRE_COPY enabled, we observed a downtime reduction of approximately
70-75% in various scenarios compared to when PRE_COPY was disabled,
while keeping the total migration time nearly the same.

<title>vfio/virtio: Add support for the basic live migration functionality</title>

<id>0bbc82e4ec79df437de49d45c512335d97f9c7ce</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for basic live migration functionality in VFIO over
virtio-net devices, aligned with the virtio device specification 1.4.

This includes the following VFIO features:
VFIO_MIGRATION_STOP_COPY, VFIO_MIGRATION_P2P.

The implementation registers with the VFIO subsystem using vfio_pci_core
and then incorporates the virtio-specific logic for the migration
process.

The migration follows the definitions in uapi/vfio.h and leverages the
virtio VF-to-PF admin queue command channel for execution device parts
related commands.

Additional Notes:
-----------------
The kernel protocol between the source and target devices contains a
header with metadata, including record size, tag, and flags.

The record size allows the target to recognize and read a complete image
from the source before passing the device part data. This adheres to the
virtio device specification, which mandates that partial device parts
cannot be supplied.

The tag and flags serve as placeholders for future extensions of the
kernel protocol between the source and target, ensuring backward and
forward compatibility.

Both the source and target comply with the virtio device specification
by using a device part object with a unique ID as part of the migration
process. Since this resource is limited to a maximum of 255, its
lifecycle is confined to periods with an active live migration flow.

According to the virtio specification, a device has only two modes:
RUNNING and STOPPED. As a result, certain VFIO transitions (i.e.,
RUNNING_P2P-&gt;STOP, STOP-&gt;RUNNING_P2P) are treated as no-ops. When
transitioning to RUNNING_P2P, the device state is set to STOP, and it
will remain STOPPED until the transition out of RUNNING_P2P-&gt;RUNNING, at
which point it returns to RUNNING. During transition to STOP, the virtio
device only stops initiating outgoing requests(e.g. DMA, MSIx, etc.) but
still must accept incoming operations.
