Nested translation is a hardware feature that is supported by many modern
IOMMU hardwares. It has two stages (stage-1, stage-2) address translation
to get access to the physical address. stage-1 translation table is owned
by userspace (e.g. by a guest OS), while stage-2 is owned by kernel. Changes
to stage-1 translation table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.

Take Intel VT-d as an example, the stage-1 translation table is I/O page
table. As the below diagram shows, guest I/O page table pointer in GPA
(guest physical address) is passed to host and be used to perform the stage-1
address translation. Along with it, modifications to present mappings in the
guest I/O page table should be followed with an IOTLB invalidation.

    .-------------.  .---------------------------.

<Intel VT-d Nested translation>

In IOMMUFD, all the translation tables are tracked by hw_pagetable (hwpt)
and each has an iommu_domain allocated from iommu driver. So in this series
hw_pagetable and iommu_domain means the same thing if no special note.
IOMMUFD has already supported allocating hw_pagetable that is linked with
an IOAS. However, nesting requires IOMMUFD to allow allocating hw_pagetable
with driver specific parameters and interface to sync stage-1 IOTLB as user
owns the stage-1 translation table.

This series is based on the iommu hw info reporting series [1]. It first
introduces new iommu op for allocating domains with user data and the op
for syncing stage-1 IOTLB, and then extend the IOMMUFD internal infrastructure
to accept user_data and parent hwpt, then relay the data to iommu core to
allocate iommu_domain. After it, extend the ioctl IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC to accept
user data and stage-2 hwpt ID to allocate hwpt. Along with it, ioctl
IOMMU_HWPT_INVALIDATE is added to invalidate stage-1 IOTLB. This is needed
for user-managed hwpts. Selftest is added as well to cover the new ioctls.

Complete code can be found in [2], QEMU could can be found in [3].

At last, this is a team work together with Nicolin Chen, Lu Baolu. Thanks
them for the help. ^_^. Look forward to your feedbacks.

Change log:

v2:
 - Add union iommu_domain_user_data to include all user data structures to avoid
   passing void * in kernel APIs.
 - Add iommu op to return user data length for user domain allocation
 - Rename struct iommu_hwpt_alloc::data_type to be hwpt_type
 - Store the invalidation data length in iommu_domain_ops::cache_invalidate_user_data_len
 - Convert cache_invalidate_user op to be int instead of void
 - Remove @data_type in struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate
 - Remove out_hwpt_type_bitmap in struct iommu_hw_info hence drop patch 08 of v1

But if we don't put them in the IOAS of the parent there is no way for
userspace to learn what they are to forward to the VM ?

Since we expect the parent IOAS to be usable in an identity mode I
think they should be added, at least I can't see a reason not to add
them.

Which is definately complicating some parts of this..

The iommu driver needs to report different reserved regions for the S1
and S2 iommu_domains, and the IOAS should only get the reserved
regions for the S2.

Currently the API has no way to report per-domain reserved regions and
that is possibly OK for now. The S2 really doesn't have reserved
regions beyond the domain aperture.

So an ioctl to directly query the reserved regions for a dev_id makes
sense.

But it mixes things

The S2 doesn't have reserved ranges restrictions, we always have some
model of a S1, even for identity mode, that would carry the reserved
ranges.

> With that it makes more sense to make it a vendor specific choice.

It isn't vendor specific, the ranges come from the domain that is
attached to the IOAS, and we simply don't import ranges for a S2
domain.

I can see the difference between RID and RID+PASID, but not sure whether
it's a actual requirement regarding to attached domain.

e.g. if only talking about RID then the same set of reserved regions should
be reported for both S1 attach and S2 attach.

Or more specifically query the reserved regions for RID-based access.

Ideally for PASID there is no reserved region otherwise SVA won't work. 😊

With above I think the ranges are static per device.

When talking about RID-based nesting alone, ARM needs to add reserved
regions to the parent IOAS as identity is a valid S1 mode in nesting.

But for Intel RID nesting excludes identity (which becomes a direct
attach to S2) so the reserved regions apply to S1 instead of the parent IOAS.

I think I said/ment if we attach the "s2" iommu domain as a direct
attach for identity - eg at boot time, then the IOAS must gain the
reserved regions. This is our normal protocol.

But when we use the "s2" iommu domain as an actual nested S2 then we
don't gain reserved regions.

S2 only is modeled as attaching an S2 format iommu domain to the RID,
and when this is done the IOAS should gain the reserved regions
because it is no different behavior than attaching any other iommu
domain to a RID.

When the S2 is replaced with a S1 nest then the IOAS should loose
those reserved regions since it is no longer attached to a RID.

I think it is the same. A CD doesn't come into the picture until the
guest installs a CD pointing STE. Until that time the S2 is being used
as identity.

It sounds like the same basic flow.

Having an API to explicitly load reserved regions of a specific device
to an IOAS makes some sense to me.

I'm a bit late for the conversation here. Yet, how about the
IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI on ARM in the nesting configuration? We'd
still call iommufd_group_setup_msi() on the S2 HWPT, despite
attaching the device to a nested S1 HWPT right?

So, in a nesting configuration, QEMU would poll a device's S2
MSI region (i.e. IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI) to prevent conflict?

Sure. What I talked is the end result e.g. after the user explicitly requests
to load reserved regions into an IOAS.

Yes.

And it's correct in concept because the IOAS is 'implicitly' accessed by
the device when the guest domain is identity in this case.

I think I prefer the idea we just import the reserved regions from a
devid and do not expose any of this detail to userspace.

Kernel can make only the SW_MSI a mandatory cut out when the S2 is
attached.
