s390x has the notion of providing VFs to the kernel in a manner
where the associated PF is inaccessible other than via firmware.
These are not treated as typical VFs and access to them is emulated
by underlying firmware which can still access the PF. After
the referened commit however these detached VFs were no longer able
to work with vfio-pci as the firmware does not provide emulation of
the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit. In this case, let's explicitly recognize
these detached VFs so that vfio-pci can allow memory access to
them again.

Polite ping - If unhappy with the approach moving in this direction, I
have also played around with Alex's prior suggestion of a dev_flags bit
that denotes a device that doesn't implement PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY. Please
advise.

I'm not unhappy with it, but there are quite a number of users of
is_virtfn and I wonder to what extent we can replace all of them. For
instance if the longer term plan would be to consider is_virtfn private
then I think there are places in vfio-pci where we'd need to test
(pci_physfn(pdev) != pdev) in order to make sure we're working on the
topology we expect (see VF token handling). If we want to consider
these detached VFs as actual VFs (minus the PF) everywhere in the code,
rather than a PF that doesn't implement random features as determined
by the bare metal hypervisor, then this might be the way to go. The
former implies that we'd migrate away from is_virtfn to this new
interface, potentially changing the code path these devices would take
as that adoption proceeds. Have you taken a look at other is_virtfn
use cases to see if any would be strictly undesirable for this class of
devices? Otherwise I think Bjorn needs to weigh in since the PCI-core
change is a central aspect to this proposal. Thanks,
Alex

Re the subject line, this patch does a lot more than just "introduce a
flag"; AFAICT it actually enables important VFIO functionality, e.g.,
something like:
vfio/pci: Enable MMIO access for s390 detached VFs

Out of curiosity, in what sense is the PF inaccessible? Is it
*impossible* for Linux to access the PF, or is it just not enumerated
by clp_list_pci() so Linux doesn't know about it?
VFs do not implement PCI_COMMAND, so I guess "firmware does not
provide emulation of PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY" means something like "we
can't access the PF so we can't enable/disable PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY"?

What exactly does "multifunction bus" mean? I'm familiar with

I'm not super keen on the idea of having two subtly different ways of
identifying VFs. I think that will be confusing. This seems to be
the critical line, so whatever we do here, it will be out of the
ordinary and probably deserves a little comment.
If Linux doesn't see the PF, does pci_physfn(VF) return NULL, i.e., is
VF->physfn NULL?

FWIW, pci_physfn() never returns NULL, it returns the provided pdev if
is_virtfn is not set. This proposal wouldn't change that return value.
AIUI pci_physfn(), the caller needs to test that the returned device is
different from the provided device if there's really code that wants to
traverse to the PF.
My interpretation of what's happening here is that we're a guest
running on a bare metal hypervisor (I assume z/VM) and we're assigned a
VF that appears on this non-multifunction bus, but the hypervisor
doesn't provide emulation of all of the non-implemented config space
features of a VF, the memory enable bit being relevant for this fix.
We're therefore trying to detect this VF nature of the device, which
gets a bit messy since a VF implies a PF on bare metal. The PF would
be owned by the hypervisor and not accessible to us.
An alternative idea we tossed around, that might still be a possibility,
is using dev_flags to describe the specific missing feature, for
example something about the command register memory bit being hardwired
to zero but always enabled (assuming the PF SR-IOV MSE bit is not
cleared). Thanks,
Alex

Fair -- maybe s/Enable/Restore/ as this functionality had been working
until the mem bit enforcement was added to vfio via abafbc551fdd.

So, it is not enumerated via clp_list_pci because it is not assigned to
the host partition -- So while it is physically available to the machine
and the firmware can see it, the machine is divided up into multiple
logical partitions -- The partition where we are running the host kernel
in this scenario has no access to the PF. Basically, think bare metal
hypervisor and only the VF was passed through to the kernel guest.

So, the root issue is that vfio-pci added enforcement of the bit via
abafbc551fdd -- Then subsequently waived the requirement for VFs via
bugfix ebfa440ce38b since as you say it can't be on for VFs per the PCIe
spec -- Problem is, vfio can't tell these devices are VFs because
is_virtfn=0 for these devices.
Fundamentally, I am trying to find a proper way to tell vfio it's OK to
waive the requirement for these devices too.

So, this flag is effectively stating whether proper SR-IOV support is
available for devices on the bus. This is an interesting point though,
I don't think this will catch all instances of this scenario (vs a
more-direct check for a device that has a vfn but no linked PF). I need
to look at this again, thanks.

Another notion that Alex floated was the idea of tagging these devices
that don't implement the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit via a dev_flags bit
rather than changing the way we identify VFs. It's grown on me and I've
tried it out as an alternative. Does this sort of approach sound better?

pci_physfn(VF) == VF because is_virtfn=0 for these devices.

Oh, so this VF has is_virtfn==0. That seems weird. There are lots of
other ways that a VF is different: Vendor/Device IDs are 0xffff, BARs
are zeroes, etc.
It sounds like you're sweeping those under the rug by avoiding the
normal enumeration path (e.g., you don't have to size the BARs), but
if it actually is a VF, it seems like there might be fewer surprises
if we treat it as one.
Why don't you just set is_virtfn=1 since it *is* a VF, and then deal
with the special cases where you want to touch the PF?

If it is possible to access the PF that would be a very severe bug in
the machine level hypervisor partition isolation.
Note also that POWER has a very similar setup.
Also even if we have access to the PF, we do get some hypervisor
involvement (pdev->no_vf_scan).
Remind you all OSs on IBM Z are _always_ running under a machine
level hypervisor in logical partitions (with partitioned
memory, no paging).

Yes this is a bit of an IBM Z quirk, up until v5.8-rc1
IBM Z Linux only knew isolated PCI functions that would get
a PCI ID of the form <uid>:00:00.0 where the domain
is a value (called UID) that can be determined by the machine administrator.
Now for some multi-function devices one really needs to have some of the physical
PCI information known to the device driver/in the PCI ID.
Still we need to stay compatible to the old scheme and also
somehow deal with the fact that the domain value (UID)
is set per function.
So now for each physical multi-function device we create a zbus
that gets assigned all functions belonging to that physical
device and we use the UID of the function with devfn == 0
as the domain. Resulting in PCI IDs of the form:
<uid>:00:<device>.<function>
Now zbus->multifunction basically says if there is more
than one function on that zbus which is equivalent to saying
that the zbus represents a multi-function device.

Note that as of v5.9-rc2 setting pdev->detached_vf would move
into zpci_bus_setup_virtfn() and it will be obvious that
whenever zdev->vfn != 0 (i.e. it really is a VF according to
the platform) we either link the VF with the parent
PF or set pdev->detached_vf. It's just that this version was
sent before that code landed upstream.

No and yes, as Matthew already set pci_physfn(vf) never return NULL
because it returns the pdev itself if is_virtfn is 0.
That said we can easily make Linux have
pdev->is_virtfn = 1, pdev->physfn = NULL
and in fact it was the first thing I suggested because I feel like
it is indeed the most logical way to encode "detached VF" and AFAIU there
is already some code (ex: in powerpc, eeh_debugfs_break_device())
that assumes this to be the case. However there is also
code that assumes that pdev->is_virtfn implies pdev->physfn != NULL
including in vfio so this requires checking all pdev->is_virtfn/pci_physfn()
uses and of course a clear upstream decision.

As we are always running under at least a machine level hypervisor
we're somewhat in the same situation as e.g. a KVM guest in
that the VFs we see have some emulation that makes them act more like
normal PCI functions. It just so happens that the machine level hypervisor
does not emulate the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY, it does emulate BARs and Vendor/Device IDs
though.
So is_virtfn is 0 for some VF for the same reason it is 0 on KVM/ESXi/HyperV/Jailhouse…
guests on other architectures.
Note that the BAR and Vendor/Device ID emulation
exists also for the VFs created through /sys/…/sriov_numvfs that
do have pdev->is_virtfn set to 1 and yes that means some of the emulation
is not strictly necessary for us (e.g. Vendor/Device ID) but
keeps things the same as on other architectures.
Think of it, if any of the other hypervisors also
don't implement PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY second level guest PCI pass-through
would be broken for the same reason.

I wonder whether it's a good idea to also find a way to set is_virtfn
for normal KVM guest which get a vf assigned. There are other cases
where faithful emulation of certain PCI capabilities is difficult, e.g.
when enabling guest SVA related features (PASID/ATS/PRS). Per PCIe
spec, some or all fields of those capabilities are shared between PF
and VF. Among them:
1) Some could be emulated properly and indirectly reflected in hardware,
e.g. Intel VT-d allows additional control per VF about whether to accept
page request, execute/privileged permission, etc. thus allowing VF-specific
control even when device-side setting is shared;
2) Some could be purely emulated in software and it's harmless to leave
the hardware following PF setting, e.g. ATS enable, STU(?), outstanding
page request allocation, etc.;
3) However, I didn’t see a clean way of emulating page_request_ctrl.reset
and page_request_status.stopped. Those two have clear definition about
outstanding page requests. They are shared thus we cannot issue physical
action just due to request on one VF, while pure software emulation
cannot guarantee the desired expectation. Of course this issue also exists
even on bare metal - pci_enable/disable/reset_pri just do nothing for
vf. But there is chance to mitigate (e.g. timeout), but not possible in guest
if the guest doesn't know it's actually a VF.
Setting is_virtfn=1 allows guest to be cooperative like running together
with PF driver. But there is an ordering issue. The guest knows whether
a device is VF only when the VF driver is loaded (based on PCI_ID), but
related capabilities might be already enabled when attaching the device
to IOMMU (at least for intel_iommu). But suppose it's not a hard fix.
Last, detached vf is not a PCISIG definition. So the host still needs to
do proper emulation (even not faithful) of those capabilities for guests
who don't recognize detached vf.
Thoughts?
