[PATCH v9 0/7] KVM PCIe/MSI passthrough on ARM/ARM64: kernel part 3/3: vfio changes

[Eric Auger]

This series allows the user-space to register a reserved IOVA domain.
This completes the kernel integration of the whole functionality on top
of part 1 (v9) & 2 (v8).

It also depends on [PATCH 1/3] iommu: Add MMIO mapping type series,
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.iommu/12869

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 capability chain, using VFIO_IOMMU_TYPE1_INFO_CAP_MSI_GEOMETRY.

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.

Testing:
- functional on ARM64 AMD Overdrive HW (single GICv2m frame) with
  Intel X540-T2 (SR-IOV capable)
- also tested on Armada-7040 using an intel IXGBE (82599ES) by
  Yehuda Yitschak (v8)
- Not tested: ARM GICv3 ITS

History:
v8 -> v9:
- report MSI geometry through capability chain (last patch only);
  with the current limitation that an arbitrary number of 16 page
  requirement is reported. To be improved later on.


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


Eric Auger (7):
  vfio: introduce a vfio_dma type field
  vfio/type1: vfio_find_dma accepting a type argument
  vfio/type1: bypass unmap/unpin and replay for VFIO_IOVA_RESERVED slots
  vfio: allow reserved msi iova registration
  vfio/type1: also check IRQ remapping capability at msi domain
  iommu/arm-smmu: do not advertise IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP
  vfio/type1: return MSI geometry through VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO capability
    chains
