[PATCH v2 00/10] Let iommufd charge IOPTE allocations to the memory cgroup

iommufd follows the same design as KVM and uses memory cgroups to limit
the amount of kernel memory a iommufd file descriptor can pin down. The
various internal data structures already use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT to charge
its own memory.

However, one of the biggest consumers of kernel memory is the IOPTEs
stored under the iommu_domain and these allocations are not tracked.

This series is the first step in fixing it.

The iommu driver contract already includes a 'gfp' argument to the
map_pages op, allowing iommufd to specify GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT and then
having the driver allocate the IOPTE tables with that flag will capture a
significant amount of the allocations.

Update the iommu_map() API to pass in the GFP argument, and fix all call
sites. Replace iommu_map_atomic().

Audit the "enterprise" iommu drivers to make sure they do the right thing.
Intel and S390 ignore the GFP argument and always use GFP_ATOMIC. This is
problematic for iommufd anyhow, so fix it. AMD and ARM SMMUv2/3 are
already correct.

A follow up series will be needed to capture the allocations made when the
iommu_domain itself is allocated, which will complete the job.

v2:
 - Prohibit bad GFP flags in the iommu wrappers
 - Split out the new GFP_KERNEL usages into dedicated patches so it is
   easier to check. No code change after the full series

Jason Gunthorpe (10):
  iommu: Add a gfp parameter to iommu_map()
  iommu: Remove iommu_map_atomic()
  iommu: Add a gfp parameter to iommu_map_sg()
  iommu/dma: Use the gfp parameter in __iommu_dma_alloc_noncontiguous()
  iommufd: Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for iommu_map()
  iommu/intel: Add a gfp parameter to alloc_pgtable_page()
  iommu/intel: Support the gfp argument to the map_pages op
  iommu/intel: Use GFP_KERNEL in sleepable contexts
  iommu/s390: Push the gfp parameter to the kmem_cache_alloc()'s
