Great, thanks for sending it out, it's on my list to look at

I guess it's unclear, this is meant to explain that any device in domain B
for example, would access all address spaces bound to any other device in
that domain.

Hmm, not in the same address space, but they can co-exist in a device. In
fact the endpoint I'm testing (hisi zip accelerator) already needs normal
DMA alongside SVA for queue management. This one is integrated on an
Arm-based platform so shouldn't be a concern for VT-d at the moment, but
I suspect we might see more of this kind of device with mixed DMA.

In addition on Arm MSI addresses are translated by the IOMMU, and since
they are requests w/o PASID they need the private address space on entry 0.

Are you not planning to use the RID_PASID entry of Scalable-Mode
Context-Entry in VT-d?

The last sentence refers to this private address space used for requests
w/o PASID. I don't like referring to it as "PASID 0" since it might be
more confusing. It's entry 0 of the PASID table reserved for requests
without PASID.

I think I should just remove this here sentence and try to make the last
paragraph of the comment, which referes to the same thing, clearer. I'll
also drop io_pgtables from the above diagram to keep things on point.

That doesn't seem right, we need the 'continue'. I'll turn this around
into 'if (tmp->sva.dev == dev)' to make things more readable.

Yes, and I think we can simplify the whole function further. I think I
wrote it that way to have the kzalloc() be outside iommu_sva_lock, back
when it was a spinlock.

Do you mean PASID table rather than address space?

Yes ignoring the attach_domain parameter should be fine (more below).

Not necessarily. Before bind the device driver should call
iommu_dev_enable_feature(dev, IOMMU_FEAT_SVA), which is when SMMUv3
invokes iommu_sva_enable()

Yes, the attach_domain is a hint for IOMMU drivers that handle PASID
tables per domain (SMMUv3). If PASID tables are per device then it can be
ignored. I added it to the interface because it's a lot more difficult to
check from within the SMMU driver, whereas iommu-sva already iterates over
all devices attached to an io_mm. Arguably the hint isn't as useful on
attach than on detach, where we must not clear the PASID table entry if
other devices in the domain are still using it.

No problem, it has been a while and I don't remember the rationale for
every choice. It's good to question whether they're still valid.

I find the per-domain PASID table to be a good model when reasoning about
IOMMU groups. In pci_device_group() a single group is created for devices
whose Requester ID alias, and they all get the same domain. In a buggy
system, if a device can issue DMA with the RID of another, then regardless
of PASID the IOMMU cannot isolate them. Having per-device PASID table
doesn't add any isolation but may hide the flaw from the user, if they
think that binding an mm to device A prevents a DMA-aliased device B from
accessing it.

This is hypothetical because we don't allow SVA for multi-device groups at
the moment (sanity-check would be messy) but maybe buggy implementations
will want this support in the future.

In the normal case, one device per domain, having PASID tables on the
domain rather than device doesn't make a difference. It makes a difference
if the user wants to put multiple devices in the same domain (e.g. VFIO
container). I don't know if that's a use-case.

Thanks,
Jean
