Linux kernel IOMMU代码分析笔记(12)——page-table entry的相关代码定义

DMA请求的地址转换如下图所示:

1

page-table entry格式如下:

2

因为每个page-table entry82^3)个byte,所以上面的转化图中只要9位就可以了(12 - 32^12 = 4KiB)。

GAW的定义:

Guest Address Width: Physical addressability limit within a partition (virtual machine)

可以理解为从虚拟机角度看到的物理地址宽度。举个例子,如果一个虚拟机只能访问2G内存,那么GAW就是31

AGAW的定义:Adjusted Guest Address Width。为了保证9bit长度的步长转化,GAWAGAW之间的转换伪代码如下:

R = (GAW - 12) MOD 9;
if (R == 0) {
    AGAW = GAW;
} else {
    AGAW = GAW + 9 - R;
}
if (AGAW > 64)
    AGAW = 64;

对应的函数是guestwidth_to_adjustwidth

static inline int guestwidth_to_adjustwidth(int gaw)
{
    int agaw;
    int r = (gaw - 12) % 9;

    if (r == 0)
        agaw = gaw;
    else
        agaw = gaw + 9 - r;
    if (agaw > 64)
        agaw = 64;
    return agaw;
}

AGAW的最小长度是30bit,参考以下规范定义(context-entry格式里的内容):

• 000b: 30-bit AGAW (2-level page table)
• 001b: 39-bit AGAW (3-level page table)
• 010b: 48-bit AGAW (4-level page table)
• 011b: 57-bit AGAW (5-level page table)
• 100b: 64-bit AGAW (6-level page table)

所以可以看到kernelagaw的一些转换代码会用到302这些数字:

static inline int agaw_to_level(int agaw)
{
    return agaw + 2;
}

static inline int agaw_to_width(int agaw)
{
    return min_t(int, 30 + agaw * LEVEL_STRIDE, MAX_AGAW_WIDTH);
}

static inline int width_to_agaw(int width)
{
    return DIV_ROUND_UP(width - 30, LEVEL_STRIDE);
}
