> This series allows the user-space to register a reserved IOVA domain.

> We reuse the VFIO DMA MAP ioctl with a new flag to bridge to the msi-
> iommu API. The need for provisioning such MSI IOVA range is reported
> through the VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO iotcl.
> 
> vfio_iommu_type1 checks if the MSI mapping is safe when attaching the vfio
> group to the container (allow_unsafe_interrupts modality).
> 
> On ARM/ARM64, the IOMMU does not astract IRQ remapping. the modality
> is abstracted on MSI controller side. The GICv3 ITS is the first controller
> advertising the modality.

> History:
> v7 -> v8:
> - use renamed msi-iommu API
> - VFIO only responsible for setting the IOVA aperture
> - use new DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_GEOMETRY iommu domain attribute
> 
> v6 -> v7:
> - vfio_find_dma now accepts a dma_type argument.
> - should have recovered the capability to unmap the whole user IOVA range
> - remove computation of nb IOVA pages -> will post a separate RFC for that
>   while respinning the QEMU part
> 
> RFC v5 -> patch v6:
> - split to ease the review process
> 
> RFC v4 -> RFC v5:
> - take into account Thomas' comments on MSI related patches
>   - split "msi: IOMMU map the doorbell address when needed"
>   - increase readability and add comments
>   - fix style issues
>  - split "iommu: Add DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_MAPPING attribute"
>  - platform ITS now advertises IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP
>  - fix compilation issue with CONFIG_IOMMU API unset
>  - arm-smmu-v3 now advertises DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_MAPPING
> 
> RFC v3 -> v4:
> - Move doorbell mapping/unmapping in msi.c
> - fix ref count issue on set_affinity: in case of a change in the address
>   the previous address is decremented
> - doorbell map/unmap now is done on msi composition. Should allow the use
>   case for platform MSI controllers
> - create dma-reserved-iommu.h/c exposing/implementing a new API
> dedicated
>   to reserved IOVA management (looking like dma-iommu glue)
> - series reordering to ease the review:
>   - first part is related to IOMMU
>   - second related to MSI sub-system
>   - third related to VFIO (except arm-smmu IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP
> removal)
> - expose the number of requested IOVA pages through
> VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO
>   [this partially addresses Marc's comments on
> iommu_get/put_single_reserved
>    size/alignment problematic - which I did not ignore - but I don't know
>    how much I can do at the moment]
> 
> RFC v2 -> RFC v3:
> - should fix wrong handling of some CONFIG combinations:
>   CONFIG_IOVA, CONFIG_IOMMU_API, CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN
> - fix MSI_FLAG_IRQ_REMAPPING setting in GICv3 ITS (although not tested)
> 
> PATCH v1 -> RFC v2:
> - reverted to RFC since it looks more reasonable ;-) the code is split
>   between VFIO, IOMMU, MSI controller and I am not sure I did the right
>   choices. Also API need to be further discussed.
> - iova API usage in arm-smmu.c.
> - MSI controller natively programs the MSI addr with either the PA or IOVA.
>   This is not done anymore in vfio-pci driver as suggested by Alex.
> - check irq remapping capability of the group
> 
> RFC v1 [2] -> PATCH v1:
> - use the existing dma map/unmap ioctl interface with a flag to register a
>   reserved IOVA range. Use the legacy Rb to store this special vfio_dma.
> - a single reserved IOVA contiguous region now is allowed
> - use of an RB tree indexed by PA to store allocated reserved slots
> - use of a vfio_domain iova_domain to manage iova allocation within the
>   window provided by the userspace
> - vfio alloc_map/unmap_free take a vfio_group handle
> - vfio_group handle is cached in vfio_pci_device
> - add ref counting to bindings
> - user modality enabled at the end of the series
