Have you considered using the generic iommu binding here instead of a custom property?
I have to admit - no, I haven't. I was thinking that Xen specific feature should be communicated using Xen specific DT property.
This would mean having a device node for the grant-table mechanism that can be referred to using the 'iommus' phandle property, with the domid as an additional argument.
I assume, you are speaking about something like the following?
xen_dummy_iommu {
compatible = "xen,dummy-iommu";
#iommu-cells = <1>;
};
virtio@3000 {
compatible = "virtio,mmio";
reg = <0x3000 0x100>;
interrupts = <41>;
/* The device is located in Xen domain with ID 1 */
iommus = <&xen_dummy_iommu 1>;
};
It does not quite fit the model that Linux currently uses for iommus, as that has an allocator for dma_addr_t space
yes (# 3/7 adds grant-table based allocator)
, but it would think it's conceptually close enough that it makes sense for the binding.
Interesting idea. I am wondering, do we need an extra actions for this to work in Linux guest (dummy IOMMU driver, etc)?
