A parent device might create different types of mediated
devices. For example, a mediated device could be created
by the parent device with full isolation and protection
provided by the IOMMU. One usage case could be found on
Intel platforms where a mediated device is an assignable
subset of a PCI, the DMA requests on behalf of it are all
tagged with a PASID. Since IOMMU supports PASID-granular
translations (scalable mode in VT-d 3.0), this mediated
device could be individually protected and isolated by an
IOMMU.
This patch adds a new member in the struct mdev_device to
indicate that the mediated device represented by mdev could
be isolated and protected by attaching a domain to a device
represented by mdev->iommu_device. It also adds a helper to
add or set the iommu device.
* mdev_device->iommu_device
- This, if set, indicates that the mediated device could
be fully isolated and protected by IOMMU via attaching
an iommu domain to this device. If empty, it indicates
using vendor defined isolation, hence bypass IOMMU.
* mdev_set/get_iommu_device(dev, iommu_device)
- Set or get the iommu device which represents this mdev
in IOMMU's device scope. Drivers don't need to set the
iommu device if it uses vendor defined isolation.

I was looking at these functions when touching the mdev stuff and I
have some concerns.
1) Please don't merge dead code. It is a year later and there is still
no in-tree user for any of this. This is not our process. Even
worse it was exported so it looks like this dead code is supporting
out of tree modules.
2) Why is this like this? Every struct device already has a connection
to the iommu layer and every mdev has a struct device all its own.
Why did we need to add special 'if (mdev)' stuff all over the
place? This smells like the same abuse Thomas
and I pointed out for the interrupt domains.
I've ever tried to implement a bus iommu_ops for mdev devices.

Any comments?
Best regards,

After my next series the mdev drivers will have direct access to
the vfio_device. So an alternative to using the struct device, or
adding 'if mdev' is to add an API to the vfio_device world to
inject what iommu configuration is needed from that direction
instead of trying to discover it from a struct device.
3) The vfio_bus_is_mdev() and related symbol_get() nonsense in
drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c has to go, for the same reasons
it was not acceptable to do this for the interrupt side either.
4) It seems pretty clear to me this will be heavily impacted by the
/dev/ioasid discussion. Please consider removing the dead code now.
Basically, please fix this before trying to get idxd mdev merged as
the first user.
Jason
