Using the mtty vfio-mdev sample code
|
||
|
====================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
mtty is a sample vfio-mdev driver that demonstrates how to use the mediated
|
||
|
device framework.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The sample driver creates an mdev device that simulates a serial port over a PCI
|
||
|
card.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Build and load the mtty.ko module.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This step creates a dummy device, /sys/devices/virtual/mtty/mtty/
|
||
|
|
||
|
Files in this device directory in sysfs are similar to the following::
|
||
|
|
||
|
# tree /sys/devices/virtual/mtty/mtty/
|
||
|
/sys/devices/virtual/mtty/mtty/
|
||
|
|-- mdev_supported_types
|
||
|
| |-- mtty-1
|
||
|
| | |-- available_instances
|
||
|
| | |-- create
|
||
|
| | |-- device_api
|
||
|
| | |-- devices
|
||
|
| | `-- name
|
||
|
| `-- mtty-2
|
||
|
| |-- available_instances
|
||
|
| |-- create
|
||
|
| |-- device_api
|
||
|
| |-- devices
|
||
|
| `-- name
|
||
|
|-- mtty_dev
|
||
|
| `-- sample_mtty_dev
|
||
|
|-- power
|
||
|
| |-- autosuspend_delay_ms
|
||
|
| |-- control
|
||
|
| |-- runtime_active_time
|
||
|
| |-- runtime_status
|
||
|
| `-- runtime_suspended_time
|
||
|
|-- subsystem -> ../../../../class/mtty
|
||
|
`-- uevent
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. Create a mediated device by using the dummy device that you created in the
|
||
|
previous step::
|
||
|
|
||
|
# echo "83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001" > \
|
||
|
/sys/devices/virtual/mtty/mtty/mdev_supported_types/mtty-2/create
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. Add parameters to qemu-kvm::
|
||
|
|
||
|
-device vfio-pci,\
|
||
|
sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. Boot the VM.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the Linux guest VM, with no hardware on the host, the device appears
|
||
|
as follows::
|
||
|
|
||
|
# lspci -s 00:05.0 -xxvv
|
||
|
00:05.0 Serial controller: Device 4348:3253 (rev 10) (prog-if 02 [16550])
|
||
|
Subsystem: Device 4348:3253
|
||
|
Physical Slot: 5
|
||
|
Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
|
||
|
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
|
||
|
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
|
||
|
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
|
||
|
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10
|
||
|
Region 0: I/O ports at c150 [size=8]
|
||
|
Region 1: I/O ports at c158 [size=8]
|
||
|
Kernel driver in use: serial
|
||
|
00: 48 43 53 32 01 00 00 02 10 02 00 07 00 00 00 00
|
||
|
10: 51 c1 00 00 59 c1 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
|
||
|
20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 48 43 53 32
|
||
|
30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 01 00 00
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the Linux guest VM, dmesg output for the device is as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
serial 0000:00:05.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKA] -> GSI 10 (level, high) -> IRQ 10
|
||
|
0000:00:05.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xc150 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
|
||
|
0000:00:05.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0xc158 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
5. In the Linux guest VM, check the serial ports::
|
||
|
|
||
|
# setserial -g /dev/ttyS*
|
||
|
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
|
||
|
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xc150, IRQ: 10
|
||
|
/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xc158, IRQ: 10
|
||
|
|
||
|
6. Using minicom or any terminal emulation program, open port /dev/ttyS1 or
|
||
|
/dev/ttyS2 with hardware flow control disabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
7. Type data on the minicom terminal or send data to the terminal emulation
|
||
|
program and read the data.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Data is loop backed from hosts mtty driver.
|
||
|
|
||
|
8. Destroy the mediated device that you created::
|
||
|
|
||
|
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/mdev/devices/83b8f4f2-509f-382f-3c1e-e6bfe0fa1001/remove
|
||
