[RFC v3 00/10] KVM PCIe/MSI passthrough on ARM/ARM64 and IOVA reserved regions

Hi,

Following LPC discussions, we now report reserved regions through
iommu-group sysfs reserved_regions attribute file.

While I am respinning this series into v4, here is a tentative summary
of technical topics for which no consensus was reached at this point.

1) Shall we report the usable IOVA range instead of reserved IOVA
   ranges. Not discussed at/after LPC.
   x I currently report reserved regions. Alex expressed the need to
     report the full usable IOVA range instead (x86 min-max range
     minus MSI APIC window). I think this is meaningful for ARM
     too where arm-smmu might not support the full 64b range.
   x Any objection we report the usable IOVA regions instead?

2) Shall the kernel check collision with MSI window* when userspace
   calls VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA?
   Joerg/Will No; Alex yes
   *for IOVA regions consumed downstream to the IOMMU: everyone says NO

3) RMRR reporting in the iommu group sysfs? Joerg: yes; Don: no
   My current series does not expose them in iommu group sysfs.
   I understand we can expose the RMRR regions in the iomm group sysfs
   without necessarily supporting RMRR requiring device assignment.
   We can also add this support later.

Thanks

Eric

Reserved regions are populated through the IOMMU get_resv_region callback
(former get_dm_regions), now implemented by amd-iommu, intel-iommu and
arm-smmu.

The intel-iommu reports the [FEE0_0000h - FEF0_000h] MSI window as an
IOMMU_RESV_NOMAP reserved region.

arm-smmu reports the MSI window (arbitrarily located at 0x8000000 and
1MB large) and the PCI host bridge windows.

The series integrates a not officially posted patch from Robin:
"iommu/dma: Allow MSI-only cookies".

This series currently does not address IRQ safety assessment.

Best Regards

Eric

History:
RFC v2 -> v3:
- switch to an iommu-group sysfs API
- use new dummy allocator provided by Robin
- dummy allocator initialized by vfio-iommu-type1 after enumerating
  the reserved regions
- at the moment ARM MSI base address/size is left unchanged compared
  to v2
- we currently report reserved regions and not usable IOVA regions as
  requested by Alex

RFC v1 -> v2:
- fix intel_add_reserved_regions
- add mutex lock/unlock in vfio_iommu_type1


Eric Auger (10):
  iommu/dma: Allow MSI-only cookies
  iommu: Rename iommu_dm_regions into iommu_resv_regions
  iommu: Add new reserved IOMMU attributes
  iommu: iommu_alloc_resv_region
  iommu: Do not map reserved regions
  iommu: iommu_get_group_resv_regions
  iommu: Implement reserved_regions iommu-group sysfs file
  iommu/vt-d: Implement reserved region get/put callbacks
  iommu/arm-smmu: Implement reserved region get/put callbacks
  vfio/type1: Get MSI cookie
