Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] vfio: add dma-buf get_tph callback and DMA_BUF_TPH feature
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 11:47:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512184755.4137227-2-zhipingz@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512184755.4137227-1-zhipingz@meta.com>
Add a dma-buf callback that returns raw TPH metadata from the exporter
so peer devices can reuse the steering tag and processing hint
associated with a VFIO-exported buffer. Add a new
VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF_TPH ioctl that takes the fd from
VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF along with the TPH values, validates the fd
is a vfio-exported dma-buf belonging to this device, and stores the TPH
metadata under memory_lock. The existing VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF
uAPI is unchanged.
8-bit ST and 16-bit Extended ST are distinct namespaces in the PCIe TPH
ST table (firmware reports them as separate fields with separate
validity bits in the ACPI _DSM ST table), so the uAPI carries both
values along with a flags field that indicates which value(s) are
valid for this device. The exporter selects the value that matches the
importer's requested width and returns -EOPNOTSUPP if that width is
not present, instead of substituting a value across namespaces.
Publish the TPH fields under memory_lock and gate readers on a
release/acquire on the flags field; this lets get_tph() run lockless
and avoids inverting the memory_lock -> dma_resv_lock ordering set up
by vfio_pci_dma_buf_move(). Convert the @revoked bitfield to a plain bool
so concurrent updates of @revoked (under dma_resv_lock) and the new TPH
fields (under memory_lock) cannot race on a shared bitfield byte.
