    vdpasim: control virtqueue support · bda324fd
    Gautam Dawar authored
    This patch introduces the control virtqueue support for vDPA
    simulator. This is a requirement for supporting advanced features like
    multiqueue.
    
    A requirement for control virtqueue is to isolate its memory access
    from the rx/tx virtqueues. This is because when using vDPA device
    for VM, the control virqueue is not directly assigned to VM. Userspace
    (Qemu) will present a shadow control virtqueue to control for
    recording the device states.
    
    The isolation is done via the virtqueue groups and ASID support in
    vDPA through vhost-vdpa. The simulator is extended to have:
    
    1) three virtqueues: RXVQ, TXVQ and CVQ (control virtqueue)
    2) two virtqueue groups: group 0 contains RXVQ and TXVQ; group 1
       contains CVQ
    3) two address spaces and the simulator simply implements the address
       spaces by mapping it 1:1 to IOTLB.
    
    For the VM use cases, userspace(Qemu) may set AS 0 to group 0 and AS 1
    to group 1. So we have:
    
    1) The IOTLB for virtqueue group 0 contains the mappings of guest, so
       RX and TX can be assigned to guest directly.
    2) The IOTLB for virtqueue group 1 contains the mappings of CVQ which
       is the buffers that allocated and managed by VMM only. So CVQ of
       vhost-vdpa is visible to VMM only. And Guest can not access the CVQ
       of vhost-vdpa.
    
    For the other use cases, since AS 0 is associated to all virtqueue
    groups by default. All virtqueues share the same mapping by default.
    
    To demonstrate the function, VIRITO_NET_F_CTRL_MACADDR is
    implemented in the simulator for the driver to set mac address.
