This patch introduces some new fields in the iommu_domain struct,
dedicated to reserved iova management.

In a similar way as DMA mapping IOVA window, we need to store
information related to a reserved IOVA window.

The reserved_iova_cookie will store the reserved iova_domain
handle. An RB tree indexed by physical address is introduced to
store the host physical addresses bound to reserved IOVAs.

Those physical addresses will correspond to MSI frame base
addresses, also referred to as doorbells. Their number should be
quite limited per domain.

Also a spin_lock is introduced to protect accesses to the iova_domain
and RB tree. The choice of a spin_lock is driven by the fact the RB
tree will need to be accessed in MSI controller code not allowed to
sleep.

I was not sure whether both APIs could not be used concurrently, hence a
separate cookie. If we only consider MSI mapping use case I guess we are
either with a DMA domain or with a domain for VFIO and I would agree
with you, ie. we can reuse the same cookie.

my heart is torn between advised genericity and MSI use case. My natural
short-sighted inclination would head me for an MSI mapping dedicated API
but I am following advices. As discussed with Alex there are
implementation details pretty related to MSI problematics I think (the
fact we store the "bindings" in an rb-tree/list, locking)

If Marc & Alex I can retarget this API to be less generic.

I fully agree on that point. An rb-tree is overkill today for MSI use
case. Again if we were to use this API for anything else, this may
change the decision. But sure we can refactor afterwards upon needs. TBH
the rb-tree is inherited from vfio_iommu_type1 dma tree where that code
was originally located.

it is feasible and  was approximately done there at the early ages of
the series:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/28/803 &
https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2015-September/016607.html

Then with the intent of doing something reusable the trend was to put it
in the iommu instead of vfio_iommu_typeX.

I am currently trying to make the "msi-iommu api" implemented upon the
dma-iommu api based on the simplifications that we discussed:
- reuse iova_cookie for iova domain
- add an opaque msi_cookie that hides the msi doorbell list + its spinlock
- simplify locking by making sure the msi domain cannot disappear before
the iommu domain destruction

If you agree I would suggest to wait and see the outcome of this new
design and make a shared decision based on that code? Should be
available next week.

Forgot to mention that locking mechanism currently used in
vfio_iommu_type1 is based on mutex. Hence it is not compatible with MSI
layer requirements where msi_domain_(de)activate and msi_set_affinity
must be atomic.

in msi case I think an rcu list might be quite appropriate.
