If the driver created a SVA domain then the op should point to some

The weird SVA stuff is really just a generic per-device workqueue
dispatcher, so if we think that is valuable then it should be
integrated into the iommu_domain (domain->ops->use_iopf_workqueue =
true for instance). Then it could route the fault through the
workqueue and still invoke domain->ops->iopf_handler.

The word "SVA" should not appear in any of this.

Yes. We should make it generic. The domain->use_iopf_workqueue flag
denotes that the page faults of a fault group should be put together and
then be handled and responded in a workqueue. Otherwise, the page fault
is dispatched to domain->iopf_handler directly.

It might be better to have iopf_handler and
iopf_handler_work function pointers to distinguish to two cases.

Both are okay. Let's choose one when we have the code.


Not sure what iommu_register_device_fault_handler() has to do with all
of this.. Setting up the dev_iommu stuff to allow for the workqueue
should happen dynamically during domain attach, ideally in the core
code before calling to the driver.

There are two pointers under struct dev_iommu for fault handling.

/**
  * struct dev_iommu - Collection of per-device IOMMU data
  *
  * @fault_param: IOMMU detected device fault reporting data
  * @iopf_param:  I/O Page Fault queue and data

[...]

struct dev_iommu {
         struct mutex lock;
         struct iommu_fault_param        *fault_param;
         struct iopf_device_param        *iopf_param;

My understanding is that @fault_param is a place holder for generic
things, while @iopf_param is workqueue specific.

Well, lets look

struct iommu_fault_param {
	iommu_dev_fault_handler_t handler;
	void *data;

These two make no sense now. handler is always iommu_queue_iopf. Given
our domain centric design we want the function pointer in the domain,
not in the device. So delete it.

Agreed.


	struct list_head faults;
	struct mutex lock;

Queue of unhandled/unacked faults? Seems sort of reasonable

It's the list of faults pending for response.

@iopf_param could be allocated on demand. (perhaps renaming it to a more
meaningful one?) It happens before a domain with use_iopf_workqueue flag
set attaches to a device. iopf_param keeps alive until device_release.

Yes

Do this for the iommu_fault_param as well, in fact, probably just put
the two things together in one allocation and allocate if we attach a
PRI using domain. I don't think we need to micro optimze further..

Yeah, let me try this.
