When an Intel IOMMU is virtualized, and a physical device is passed-through to the VM, changes of the virtual IOMMU need to be propagated to the physical IOMMU. The hypervisor therefore needs to monitor PTE mappings in the IOMMU page-tables. Intel specifications provide "caching-mode" capability that a virtual IOMMU uses to report that the IOMMU is virtualized and a TLB flush is needed after mapping to allow the hypervisor to propagate virtual IOMMU mappings to the physical IOMMU. To the best of my knowledge no real physical IOMMU reports "caching-mode" as turned on. Synchronizing the virtual and the physical IOMMU tables is expensive if the hypervisor is unaware which PTEs have changed, as the hypervisor is required to walk all the virtualized tables and look for changes. Consequently, domain flushes are much more expensive than page-specific flushes on virtualized IOMMUs with passthrough devices. The kernel therefore exploited the "caching-mode" indication to avoid domain flushing and use page-specific flushing in virtualized environments. See commit |
