[PATCH v7 0/6] vfio/type1: Add support for valid iova list management

From: Shameer Kolothum
Date: Wed Jun 26 2019 - 11:13:42 EST


This is to revive this series which almost made to 4.18 but got dropped
as Alex found an issue[1] with IGD and USB devices RMRR region being
reported as reserved regions.

Thanks to Eric for his work here[2]. It provides a way to exclude
these regions while reporting the valid iova regions and this respin
make use of that.

Please note that I don't have a platform to verify the reported RMRR
issue and appreciate testing on those platforms.

Thanks,
Shameer

v6-->v7
-Rebased to 5.2-rc6 + Eric's patches
-Added logic to exclude IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT_RELAXABLE reserved memory
region type(patch #2).
-Dropped patch #4 of v6 as it is already part of mainline.
-Addressed "container with only an mdev device will have an empty list"
case(patches 4/6 & 5/6 - Suggested by Alex)

Old
----
This series introduces an iova list associated with a vfio
iommu. The list is kept updated taking care of iommu apertures,
and reserved regions. Also this series adds checks for any conflict
with existing dma mappings whenever a new device group is attached to
the domain.

User-space can retrieve valid iova ranges using VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO
ioctl capability chains. Any dma map request outside the valid iova
range will be rejected.

v5 --> v6

-Rebased to 4.17-rc1
-Changed the ordering such that previous patch#7 "iommu/dma: Move
PCI window region reservation back...") is now patch #4. This
will avoid any bisection issues pointed out by Alex.
-Added Robins's Reviewed-by tag for patch#4

v4 --> v5
Rebased to next-20180315.

-Incorporated the corner case bug fix suggested by Alex to patch #5.
-Based on suggestions by Alex and Robin, added patch#7. This
moves the PCI window reservation back in to DMA specific path.
This is to fix the issue reported by Eric[1].

v3 --> v4
Addressed comments received for v3.
-dma_addr_t instead of phys_addr_t
-LIST_HEAD() usage.
-Free up iova_copy list in case of error.
-updated logic in filling the iova caps info(patch #5)

RFCv2 --> v3
Removed RFC tag.
Addressed comments from Alex and Eric:
- Added comments to make iova list management logic more clear.
- Use of iova list copy so that original is not altered in
case of failure.

RFCv1 --> RFCv2
Addressed comments from Alex:
-Introduced IOVA list management and added checks for conflicts with
existing dma map entries during attach/detach.

Shameer Kolothum (6):
vfio/type1: Introduce iova list and add iommu aperture validity check
vfio/type1: Check reserve region conflict and update iova list
vfio/type1: Update iova list on detach
vfio/type1: check dma map request is within a valid iova range
vfio/type1: Add IOVA range capability support
vfio/type1: remove duplicate retrieval of reserved regions
