Based on the comments, I think it would be a need to report iommu caps
in detail. So I guess iommu uapi needs to provide something alike vfio
cap chain in iommu uapi. Please feel free let me know your thoughts. :-)
In vfio, we can define a cap as below:
struct vfio_iommu_type1_info_cap_nesting {
struct vfio_info_cap_header header;
__u64 iommu_model;
#define VFIO_IOMMU_PASID_REQS (1 << 0)
#define VFIO_IOMMU_BIND_GPASID (1 << 1)
#define VFIO_IOMMU_CACHE_INV (1 << 2)
__u32 nesting_capabilities;
__u32 pasid_bits;
#define VFIO_IOMMU_VENDOR_SUB_CAP (1 << 3)
__u32 flags;
__u32 data_size;
__u8 data[]; /*iommu info caps defined by iommu uapi */
};
VFIO needs new iommu APIs to ask iommu driver whether PASID/bind_gpasid/
cache_inv/bind_gpasid_table is available or not and also the pasid
bits. After that VFIO will ask iommu driver about the iommu_cap_info
and fill in the @data[] field.
iommu uapi:
struct iommu_info_cap_header {
__u16 id; /* Identifies capability */
__u16 version; /* Version specific to the capability ID */
__u32 next; /* Offset of next capability */
};
#define IOMMU_INFO_CAP_INTEL_VTD 1
struct iommu_info_cap_intel_vtd {
struct iommu_info_cap_header header;
__u32 vaddr_width; /* VA addr_width*/
__u32 ipaddr_width; /* IPA addr_width, input of SL page table */
/* same definition with @flags instruct iommu_gpasid_bind_data_vtd */
__u64 flags;
};
#define IOMMU_INFO_CAP_ARM_SMMUv3 2
struct iommu_info_cap_arm_smmuv3 {
struct iommu_info_cap_header header;
...
};
Regards,
Yi Liu
