Nested translation is a hardware feature that is supported by many modern
IOMMU hardwares. It has two stages (stage-1, stage-2) address translation
to get access to the physical address. stage-1 translation table is owned
by userspace (e.g. by a guest OS), while stage-2 is owned by kernel. Changes
to stage-1 translation table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.
Take Intel VT-d as an example, the stage-1 translation table is I/O page
table. As the below diagram shows, guest I/O page table pointer in GPA
(guest physical address) is passed to host and be used to perform the stage-1
address translation. Along with it, modifications to present mappings in the
guest I/O page table should be followed with an IOTLB invalidation.
.-------------. .---------------------------.
| vIOMMU | | Guest I/O page table |
| | '---------------------------'
.----------------/
| PASID Entry |--- PASID cache flush --+
'-------------' |
| | V
| | I/O page table pointer in GPA

| 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>
This series adds the cache invalidation path for the userspace to invalidate
cache after modifying the stage-1 page table. This is based on the first part
of nesting [1]
Complete code can be found in [2], QEMU could can be found in [3].
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
