Summary

➢ What is VFIO/IOMMU? Why want them?

➢ VFIO – qemu part

➢ VFIO – kernel part

➢ VFIO usage: how to passthrough a pci device

 

What is VFIO/IOMMU?

➢ The VFIO (Virtual Function I/O) driver is an IOMMU/device agnostic framework for exposing direct device access to userspace

, in a secure, IOMMU protected environment.

➢ For x86, it needs the I/O MMU hardware support.

➢ VFIO consists of

- kernel device driver: vfio_pci_driver, vfio_iommu_driver, vfio_dma

- QEMU device class: VFIODevice, VFIOPCIDevice

➢ The guest can operate the pass-throughed PCI device by:

- accessing the mapped PCI config space and memory space

- ioctl() on a fd of the VFIO kernel device for control operations
