Subject: [PATCH v8 00/10] Introduce VDUSE - vDPA Device in Userspace

This series introduces a framework that makes it possible to implement
software-emulated vDPA devices in userspace. And to make it simple, the
emulated vDPA device's control path is handled in the kernel and only the
data path is implemented in the userspace.

Since the emuldated vDPA device's control path is handled in the kernel,
a message mechnism is introduced to make userspace be aware of the data
path related changes. Userspace can use read()/write() to receive/reply
the control messages.

In the data path, the core is mapping dma buffer into VDUSE daemon's
address space, which can be implemented in different ways depending on
the vdpa bus to which the vDPA device is attached.

In virtio-vdpa case, we implements a MMU-based on-chip IOMMU driver with
bounce-buffering mechanism to achieve that. And in vhost-vdpa case, the dma
buffer is reside in a userspace memory region which can be shared to the
VDUSE userspace processs via transferring the shmfd.

The details and our user case is shown below:

We make use of it to implement a block device connecting to
our distributed storage, which can be used both in containers and
VMs. Thus, we can have an unified technology stack in this two cases.

To test it with null-blk:

  $ qemu-storage-daemon \
      --chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/tmp/qmp.sock,server,nowait \
      --monitor chardev=charmonitor \
      --blockdev driver=host_device,cache.direct=on,aio=native,filename=/dev/nullb0,node-name=disk0 \
      --export type=vduse-blk,id=test,node-name=disk0,writable=on,name=vduse-null,num-queues=16,queue-size=128

The qemu-storage-daemon can be found at https://github.com/bytedance/qemu/tree/vduse

To make the userspace VDUSE processes such as qemu-storage-daemon able to
be run by an unprivileged user. We did some works on virtio driver to avoid
trusting device, including:

  - validating the used length:

  - validating the device response:

Since I'm not sure if I missing something during auditing, especially on some
virtio device drivers that I'm not familiar with, we limit the supported device
type to virtio block device currently. The support for other device types can be
added after the security issue of corresponding device driver is clarified or
fixed in the future.

- Rework VDUSE driver to handle the device's control path in kernel
- Limit the supported device type to virtio block device

- Fix some bugs
- Rebase to vhost.git

V5 to V6:
- Export receive_fd() instead of __receive_fd()
- Factor out the unmapping logic of pa and va separatedly
- Remove the logic of bounce page allocation in page fault handler

- Fix some bugs

V4 to V5:
- Remove the patch for irq binding
- Use a single IOTLB for all types of mapping
- Factor out vhost_vdpa_pa_map()
- Add some sample codes in document
- Use receice_fd_user() to pass file descriptor
- Fix some bugs

V3 to V4:
- Rebase to vhost.git
- Split some patches
- Add some documents
- Use ioctl to inject interrupt rather than eventfd
- Enable config interrupt support
- Support binding irq to the specified cpu
- Add two module parameter to limit bounce/iova size
- Create char device rather than anon inode per vduse
- Reuse vhost IOTLB for iova domain
- Rework the message mechnism in control path

V2 to V3:
- Rework the MMU-based IOMMU driver
- Use the iova domain as iova allocator instead of genpool
- Support transferring vma->vm_file in vhost-vdpa
- Add SVA support in vhost-vdpa
- Remove the patches on bounce pages reclaim

V1 to V2:
- Add vhost-vdpa support
- Add some documents
- Based on the vdpa management tool
- Introduce a workqueue for irq injection
- Replace interval tree with array map to store the iova_map
