It won't trigger C_BAD_STE, recall Robin was opposed to thatm so we have this:
static void arm_smmu_make_nested_domain_ste(
struct arm_smmu_ste *target, struct arm_smmu_master *master,
struct arm_smmu_nested_domain *nested_domain, bool ats_enabled)
{
unsigned int cfg =
FIELD_GET(STRTAB_STE_0_CFG, le64_to_cpu(nested_domain->ste[0]));
/*
* Userspace can request a non-valid STE through the nesting interface.
* We relay that into an abort physical STE with the intention that
* C_BAD_STE for this SID can be generated to userspace.
*/
if (!(nested_domain->ste[0] & cpu_to_le64(STRTAB_STE_0_V)))
cfg = STRTAB_STE_0_CFG_ABORT;
So, in the case of a non-valid STE, and a device access, the HW will
generate one of the translation faults and that will be forwarded.
Some software component will have to transform those fault events into
C_BAD_STE for the VM.
I imagined userspace would do this, but it could be done in the kernel
too. Regardless, I think Will is right and the the viommu should be
set even in this case to capture the events.
