Commit da92d3dfc871 ("arm64: dts: rockchip: enable the mmu600_pcie IOMMU
on the rk3588 SoC") enabled the mmu600_pcie IOMMU, both in the normal case
(when all PCIe controllers are running in Root Complex mode) and in the
case when running the pcie3x4 PCIe controller in Endpoint mode.

There have been no issues detected when running the PCIe controllers in
Root Complex mode. During PCI probe time, we will add a SID to the IOMMU
for each PCI device enumerated on the bus, including the root port itself.

However, when running the pcie3x4 PCIe controller in Endpoint mode, we
will only add a single SID to the IOMMU (the SID specified in the iommus
DT property).

The enablement of IOMMU in endpoint mode was verified on setup with two
Rock 5b:s, where the BDF of the Root Complex has BDF (00:00.0).

A Root Complex sending a TLP to the Endpoint will have Requester ID set
to the BDF of the initiator. On the EP side, the Requester ID will then
be used as the SID. This works fine if the Root Complex has a BDF that
matches the iommus DT property, however, if the Root Complex has any other
BDF, we will see something like:
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: event: C_BAD_STREAMID client: (unassigned sid) sid: 0x1600 ssid: 0x0
on the endpoint side.

For PCIe controllers running in endpoint mode that always uses the
incoming Requester ID as the SID, the iommus DT property simply isn't
a viable solution. (Neither is iommu-map a viable solution, as there is
no enumeration done on the endpoint side.)

Well, strictly the controller should own all the StreamIDs it's capable of
emitting - if that's just one per possible bus number (as the iATU
FUNC_NUM/FUNC_BYPASS stuff appears to suggest?) then 256 "iommus" entries
isn't *entirely* unmanageable. If it were to support being arbitrary (or
multiple) devices/functions, though, then we probably would want to look for
a different solution, because nobody wants a 512KB DT property... :)

Well, FUNC_BYPASS and FUNC_NUM is in the IATU_REGION_CTRL_1_OFF_OUTBOUND_i
register, so it is for outbound PCI TLPs, not inbound PCI TLPs.
(Only inbound PCI TLPs will get sent to the IOMMU after passing the iATU).

There is FUNC_NUM in IATU_REGION_CTRL_1_OFF_INBOUND_i register, but it has
a different meaning. (An inbound PCI TLP will only get translated if the
FUNC_NUM matches the value in this register).
(This check is only performed if the "Function Number Match Enable" bit
of the "iATU Region Control 2 Register" is set.)

Sigh, the "i" in iATU doesn't stand for "inbound", does it... major brain fart there.

The SMMU on the rock5b, when running the PCIe controller in endpoint mode,
has printed the following:
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: event: C_BAD_STREAMID client: (unassigned sid) sid: 0x1600 ssid: 0x0
but also:
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: event: C_BAD_STREAMID client: (unassigned sid) sid: 0x20 ssid: 0x0

Yeah, that one pretty much settles it - we can certainly expect host root ports with nonzero device numbers, so that's at least 13 bits of the StreamID space to cover, which isn't going to fly.

depending on which host system we had connected to it.

So I'm a bit worried that 256 "iommus" entries will not be enough.

I don't have any idea on how to solve this, but right now I don't see any
other option but to disable the IOMMU when running the PCIe controller in
endpoint mode.

Agreed; FWIW, for the patch as it is:

Acked-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@xxxxxxx>

(We have no issues when running with the iommu enabled when running the PCIe
controller(s) in Root Complex mode.)


Kind regards,
Niklas
