From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Introduce a new iommu_domain op to create domains owned by userspace,
e.g. through iommufd. These domains have a few different properties
compares to kernel owned domains:
- They may be UNMANAGED domains, but created with special parameters.
For instance aperture size changes/number of levels, different
IOPTE formats, or other things necessary to make a vIOMMU work
- We have to track all the memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT
to make the cgroup sandbox stronger
- Device-specialty domains, such as NESTED domains can be created by
iommufd.
The new op clearly says the domain is being created by IOMMUFD, that
the domain is intended for userspace use, and it provides a way to pass
a driver specific uAPI structure to customize the created domain to
exactly what the vIOMMU userspace driver requires.
iommu drivers that cannot support VFIO/IOMMUFD should not support this
op. This includes any driver that cannot provide a fully functional
UNMANAGED domain.
This op chooses to make the special parameters opaque to the core. This
suits the current usage model where accessing any of the IOMMU device
special parameters does require a userspace driver that matches the
kernel driver. If a need for common parameters, implemented similarly
by several drivers, arises then there is room in the design to grow a
generic parameter set as well.
This new op for now is only supposed to be used by iommufd, hence no
wrapper for it. iommufd would call the callback directly. As for domain
free, iommufd would use iommu_domain_free().
