Device specific IOMMU parent driver who wishes to see mapping to be
decoupled from virtio or vdpa device life cycle (device reset) can use
it to restore memory mapping in the device IOMMU to the initial or
default state. The reset of mapping is done per address space basis.
The reason why a separate .reset_map op is introduced is because this
allows a simple on-chip IOMMU model without exposing too much device
implementation details to the upper vdpa layer. The .dma_map/unmap or
.set_map driver API is meant to be used to manipulate the IOTLB mappings,
and has been abstracted in a way similar to how a real IOMMU device maps
or unmaps pages for certain memory ranges. However, apart from this there
also exists other mapping needs, in which case 1:1 passthrough mapping
has to be used by other users (read virtio-vdpa). To ease parent/vendor
driver implementation and to avoid abusing DMA ops in an unexpacted way,
these on-chip IOMMU devices can start with 1:1 passthrough mapping mode
initially at the he time of creation. Then the .reset_map op can be used
to switch iotlb back to this initial state without having to expose a
complex two-dimensional IOMMU device model.
The .reset_map is not a MUST for every parent that implements the
.dma_map or .set_map API, because there could be software vDPA devices
(which has use_va=true) that don't have to pin kernel memory so they
don't care much about high mapping cost during device reset. And those
software devices may have also implemented their own DMA ops, so don't
have to use .reset_map to achieve a simple IOMMU device model for 1:1
passthrough mapping, either.
