Ok, how can that work.  vfio-pci is responsible for generating the
groupings, yes?  For which it needs to know the iommu/host bridge's
isolation capabilities, which vary depending on the type of host
bridge.

Yeah, I'm starting to get my head around the model, but the current
description of it doesn't help very much.  In particular the terms
"merge" and "unmerge" lead one to the wrong mental model, I think.

I think that's a good idea, but "unmerge" is not a good word for it.

Why not?  You configure, say, loopback devices with losetup, then use
them as a block device.  Similar with nbd.  You can configure serial
devices with setserial, then use them as a char dev.

I'm not even sure what that means.

Yeah, fair enough, based on your later comments w.r.t. only combining
feature compatible groups.

Hrm.  "ANY" just really bothers me because "any iova" is not as clear
a concept as it first appears.  For starters it's actually "any page
aligned" at the very least.  But then it's only any 64-bit address for
busses which have full 64-bit addressing (and I do wonder if there are
any north bridges out there that forgot to implement some of the upper
PCI address bits properly, given that 64-bit CPUs rarely actually
implement more than 40-something physical address bits in practice).

I'd prefer to see at least something to advertise min and max IOVA and
IOVA alignment.  That's enough to cover x86 and POWER, including
possible variants with an IOMMU page size different to the system page
size (note that POWER kernels can have 64k pages as a config option,
which means a TCE page size different to the system page size is quite
common).

Obviously there could be more complex constraints that we would need
to advertise with option bits.

Right.  I had failed to realise quite how the encoding of structure
size into the ioctl worked.  With that in place, arguably we don't
really need the size in the structure itself, because we can still
have multiple sized versions of the ioctl.  Still, whichever.

No, my concept was that NONE would be used for the indexes where there
is no valid BAR.  I'll buy your argument on why not to include the PCI
(or whatever) address space type here.

What I'm just a bit concerned by is whether we could have a case (not
for PCI) of a real resource that still has size 0 - e.g. maybe some
sort of doorbell that can't be read or written, but can be triggered
some other way.  I guess that's probably unlikely though.

Ah, my mistake.

I don't know of anything off hand.  But I can't see any consideration
that would make it unlikely either.  I generally don't trust anything
*not* to exist in embedded space.

This, of course, potentially affects many areas of the code and doco.

Right, but I'm not just talking about the current map/unmap calls
themselves.  This infrastructure for tracking it looks like it's
intended to be generic for all mapping methods.  If not, I can't see
the reason for it, because I don't think the current interface
requires such tracking inherently.

Yes, this could be a later optimization.

Yeah, yeah.  I'm having to find gaps of time between fighting various

Ah, for structures, that might be true.  I was seeing the bunch of
