Add a new flag PCI_DEV_FLAGS_DMA_ALIAS_ROOT to limit the DMA alias
search to go no further than the bridge where the IOMMU is attached.

This has been added to support Broadcom's Vulcan which has the SMMUv3
and GIC ITS associated with an intermediate bridge in the PCI topology.
Traversing to buses above would hit internal glue bridges which will
change the RID.


Can you not just have the relevant callback function detect the relevant
node and terminate the walk of its own accord? That's what I was aiming for
in this patch for the IOMMU setup:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.iommu/12456

Is there some flaw in that approach I've missed?

Not flaw as such, but:
  -  We need to support OF as well as ACPI, so the firmware dependent
    approach will not work. The ACPI code does not exist right now, but
    there are patches for this in development.
  - GICv3 ITS also uses the RIDs. I need to replicate the same logic in
    pci/msi.c and irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-pci-msi.c for MSI. For IOMMU, I
    have to update iommu/arm-smmu-v3.c and in other places in iommu
    code  where pci_for_each_dma_alias is called.
  - since it is non-standard PCIe topology for the processor, a quirk seemed
    to be the right way to handle it.

I am still figuring out the right approach here, so comments are welcome.

Oh for sure, I didn't mean to imply that that code is a complete ready-made solution, just that in general it seems a fairly straightforward thing to handle without touching the PCI core:

- We already have to know whichever parent device has the msi-map/iommu-map/IORT table. - We're aware of that parent at the point we're doing the DMA/MSI configuration. - Therefore those operations already have everything they need for their callback to be able to stop when it reaches the relevant parent device. Doing it in a firmware-agnostic manner is merely an implementation detail.

Since we'll basically be funnelling both MSI and IOMMU RID translation through a common code path, there should only need to be be one place to handle the DMA alias walk - with that first cut of my PCI/generic IOMMU bindings series I didn't try very hard to refactor things - v2 (probably post-merge-window now) will be a bit more thorough, now that I have a better idea of what thing should look like

Ignore what arm-smmu-v3.c does, because it's wrong anyway. I need to fix that in the next version as well, even if it's just calling out directly to of_pci_map_rid rather than a proper of_xlate implementation.

Now what I realise I *have* missed is the alias detection in iommu_get_group_for_dev, to which the "known parent device" reasoning doesn't apply, and phantom aliasing might well muck things up. Thinking further, if these upstream bridges exist but don't affect the outgoing RID, then might it make sense to quirk them as transparent? (I have no actual objection to this patch, though, and at this point I'm just chucking ideas about).

Update the function pci_for_each_dma_alias() to stop when it see a
bridge with this flag set.

Here is v2 of the patch, the previous discussion is at
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2016-February/015668.html

v1->v2 changes:
   - dropped the BAR quirk (not needed)
   - moved from using the 'skip' flag for some bridges to using
     similar approach to stop the traversal at the bridge with
     PCI_DEV_FLAGS_DMA_ALIAS_ROOT

Comments and suggestions are welcome

JC.
