[libvirt] [PATCH 2/4] Introducing assigned='yes|no' hostdev attribute

Daniel Henrique Barboza danielhb413 at gmail.com
Mon Oct 7 21:11:34 UTC 2019


The idea of having an attribute that declares that a hostdev
is not to be assigned to the guest seems counterintuitive, but
it has a niche use with multifunction PCI devices.

The current use of this kind of device in Libvirt is to declare
all of the functions in the XML. This is not ideal though - some
devices might have functions that are security sensitive to
be shared to guests, but at the same time the user might want
to passthrough the other functions to a guest. This is what
we call 'partial assignment'. Libvirt does not have proper
support for this scenario: when using managed='yes', this
partial assignment will cause the code inside virhostdev.c
to not detach all the IOMMU devices - given that we do not
want all of them in the guest - and then we face a QEMU
error because we didn't detached the whole IOMMU.

An idea was discussed in [1] where Libvirt would automatically
detach all the IOMMU devices in case any multifunction PCI
hostdev is used in the guest, but this idea was discarded
because removing user agency in this case is undesirable. The
user must be aware of all the functions that are going to be
detached from the host, even if they're not being assigned
to the guest, to avoid scenarios in which Libvirt "all of a
sudden" detaches something that the user didn't want to.

This patch implements a new attribute called 'assigned' that
indicates whether a hostdev is going to be assigned to the
guest or not. To keep its use less intrusive for every other
hostdev that does not need such control, the attribute can
only be set by PCI multifunction devices. For existing
domains prior to this change, assign='yes' will be
implied. If the user decides not to assign a specific
function to the guest using assign='no', the <address>
field becomes unavailable and throws a parsing error
if used.

In the next patch we'll use this attribute to avoid assigning
an assigned='no' device to QEMU at boot.

Note: the changes in the .config files were done because
the existing .config data files weren't being recognized
as multifunction PCI devices after we started reading the
PCI header.
