Nested translation is a hardware feature that is supported by many modern
IOMMU hardwares. It has two stages of address translations to get access
to the physical address. A stage-1 translation table is owned by userspace
(e.g. by a guest OS), while a stage-2 is owned by kernel. Any change to a
stage-1 translation table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.
Take Intel VT-d as an example, the stage-1 translation table is guest I/O
page table. As the below diagram shows, the guest I/O page table pointer
in GPA (guest physical address) is passed to host and be used to perform
a stage-1 translation. Along with it, a modification to present mappings
in the guest I/O page table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.
.-------------. .---------------------------.
| vIOMMU | | Guest I/O page table |
| | '---------------------------'
.----------------/
| PASID Entry |--- PASID cache flush --+
'-------------' |
| | V
| | I/O page table pointer in GPA
'-------------'
Guest
------| Shadow |---------------------------|--------
v v v
Host
.-------------. .------------------------.
| pIOMMU | | FS for GIOVA->GPA |
| | '------------------------'
.----------------/ |
| PASID Entry | V (Nested xlate)
'----------------\.----------------------------------.
| | | SS for GPA->HPA, unmanaged domain|
| | '----------------------------------'
'-------------'
Where:
- FS = First stage page tables
- SS = Second stage page tables
<Intel VT-d Nested translation>
In IOMMUFD, all the translation tables are tracked by hw_pagetable (hwpt)
and each hwpt is backed by an iommu_domain allocated from an iommu driver.
So in this series hw_pagetable and iommu_domain means the same thing if no
special note. IOMMUFD has already supported allocating hw_pagetable linked
with an IOAS. However, a nesting case requires IOMMUFD to allow allocating
hw_pagetable with driver specific parameters and interface to sync stage-1
IOTLB as user owns the stage-1 translation table.
This series is based on the iommu hw info reporting series [1] and nested
parent domain allocation [2]. It first extends domain_alloc_user to allocate
hwpt with user data by allowing the IOMMUFD internal infrastructure to accept
user_data and parent hwpt, relaying the user_data/parent to the iommu core
to allocate IOMMU_DOMAIN_NESTED. And it then extends the IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC
ioctl to accept user data and a parent hwpt ID.
Note that this series is the part-1 set of a two-part nesting series. It
does not include the cache invalidation interface, which will be added in
the part 2.
Complete code can be found in [3], QEMU could can be found in [4].
At last, this is a team work together with Nicolin Chen, Lu Baolu. Thanks
them for the help. ^_^. Look forward to your feedbacks.

Change log:
v5:
- Split the iommufd nesting series into two parts of alloc_user and
invalidation (Jason)
- Split IOMMUFD_OBJ_HW_PAGETABLE to IOMMUFD_OBJ_HWPT_PAGING/_NESTED, and
do the same with the structures/alloc()/abort()/destroy(). Reworked the
selftest accordingly too. (Jason)
- Move hwpt/data_type into struct iommu_user_data from standalone op
arguments. (Jason)
- Rename hwpt_type to be data_type, the HWPT_TYPE to be HWPT_ALLOC_DATA,
_TYPE_DEFAULT to be _ALLOC_DATA_NONE (Jason, Kevin)
- Rename iommu_copy_user_data() to iommu_copy_struct_from_user() (Kevin)
- Add macro to the iommu_copy_struct_from_user() to calculate min_size
(Jason)
- Fix two bugs spotted by ZhaoYan
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230921075138.124099-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
- Separate HWPT alloc/destroy/abort functions between user-managed HWPTs
and kernel-managed HWPTs
- Rework invalidate uAPI to be a multi-request array-based design
- Add a struct iommu_user_data_array and a helper for driver to sanitize
and copy the entry data from user space invalidation array
- Add a patch fixing TEST_LENGTH() in selftest program
- Drop IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES patches
- Update kdoc and inline comments
- Drop the code to add IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI to kernel-managed HWPT in nested
translation, this does not change the rule that resv regions should only
be added to the kernel-managed HWPT. The IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI stuff will be
added in later series as it is needed only by SMMU so far.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230724110406.107212-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
- Add new uAPI things in alphabetical order
- Pass in "enum iommu_hwpt_type hwpt_type" to op->domain_alloc_user for
sanity, replacing the previous op->domain_alloc_user_data_len solution
- Return ERR_PTR from domain_alloc_user instead of NULL
- Only add IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI to kernel-managed HWPT in nested translation
(Kevin)
- Add IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES to report resv iova ranges to userspace hence
userspace is able to exclude the ranges in the stage-1 HWPT (e.g. guest
I/O page table). (Kevin)
- Add selftest coverage for the new IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES ioctl
- Minor changes per Kevin's inputs
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230511143844.22693-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
- Add union iommu_domain_user_data to include all user data structures to
avoid passing void * in kernel APIs.
- Add iommu op to return user data length for user domain allocation
- Rename struct iommu_hwpt_alloc::data_type to be hwpt_type
- Store the invalidation data length in
iommu_domain_ops::cache_invalidate_user_data_len
- Convert cache_invalidate_user op to be int instead of void
- Remove @data_type in struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate
- Remove out_hwpt_type_bitmap in struct iommu_hw_info hence drop patch 08
of v1
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230309080910.607396-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/

Yi Liu
