Add a parameter to iommu_sva_unbind_device() that tells the IOMMU driver
whether the PRI queue needs flushing. When looking at the PCIe spec
again I noticed that most of the time the SMMUv3 driver doesn't actually
need to flush the PRI queue. Does this make sense for Intel VT-d as well
or did I overlook something?

Before calling iommu_sva_unbind_device(), device drivers must stop the
device from using the PASID. For PCIe devices, that consists of
completing any pending DMA, and completing any pending page request
unless the device uses Stop Markers. So unless the device uses Stop
Markers, we don't need to flush the PRI queue. For SMMUv3, stopping DMA
means completing all stall events, so we never need to flush the event
queue.

First patch adds flags to unbind(), and the second one lets device
drivers tell whether the PRI queue needs to be flushed.

Other remarks:

* The PCIe spec (see quote on patch 2), says that the device signals
  whether it has sent a Stop Marker or not during Stop PASID. In reality
  it's unlikely that a given device will sometimes use one stop method
  and sometimes the other, so it could be a device-wide flag rather than
  passing it at each unbind(). I don't want to speculate too much about
  future implementation so I prefer having the flag in unbind().

* In patch 1, uacce passes 0 to unbind(). To pass the right flag I'm
  thinking that uacce->ops->stop_queue(), which tells the device driver
  to stop DMA, should return whether faults are pending. This can be
  added later once uacce has an actual PCIe user, but we need to
  remember to do it.

Provide a way for device drivers to tell IOMMU drivers about the device
state and the cleanup work to be done, when unbinding. No functional
change.

IOMMU drivers only need to flush their PRI queue when faults might be
pending. According to the PCIe spec (quoted below) this only happens
when using the "Stop Marker" method. Otherwise the function waits for
pending faults before signaling to the device driver that it can
unbind().

Add the IOMMU_UNBIND_FAULT_PENDING flags to unbind(), to tell the IOMMU
driver whether it's worth flushing the queue.

I don't think this is true. Baolu is working on an enhancement to this,
I'll quickly summarize this below:

Stop markers are weird, I'm not certain there is any device today that
sends STOP markers. Even if they did, markers don't have a required
response, they are fire and forget from the device pov.

I'm not sure about other IOMMU's how they behave, When there is no space in
the PRQ, IOMMU auto-responds to the device. This puts the device in a
while (1) loop. The fake successful response will let the device do a ATS
lookup, and that would fail forcing the device to do another PRQ. The idea
is somewhere there the OS has repeated the others and this will find a way
in the PRQ. The point is this is less reliable and can't be the only
indication. PRQ draining has a specific sequence. 

The detailed steps are outlined in 
"Chapter 7.10 "Software Steps to Drain Page Requests & Responses"

- Submit invalidation wait with fence flag to ensure all prior
  invalidations are processed.
- submit iotlb followed by devtlb invalidation
- Submit invalidation wait with page-drain to make sure any page-requests
  issued by the device are flushed when this invalidation wait completes.
- If during the above process there was a queue overflow SW can assume no
  outstanding page-requests are there. If we had a queue full condition,
  then sw must repeat step 2,3 above.


To that extent the proposal is as follows: names are suggestive :-) I'm
making this up as I go!

- iommu_stop_page_req() - Kernel needs to make sure we respond to all
  outstanding requests (since we can't drop responses) 
  - Ensure we respond immediatly for anything that comes before the drain
    sequence completes
- iommu_drain_page_req() - Which does the above invalidation with
  Page_drain set.

Once the driver has performed a reset and before issuing any new request,
it does iommu_resume_page_req() this will ensure we start processing
incoming page-req after this point.

I think intel iommmu driver does this today for SVA when pasid is being
freed. Its still important to go through the drain before that PASID can be
re-purposed.

As we have no code using the "stop marker" method please just remove
the code entirely instead of adding a flag that is just dead code.

Definitely agree with this, and I hope none will implement stop marker.
For devices that *don't* use a stop marker, the PCIe spec says (10.4.1.2):

  To stop [using a PASID] without using a Stop Marker Message, the
  function shall:
  1. Stop queueing new Page Request Messages for this PASID.
  2. Finish transmitting any multi-page Page Request Messages for this
     PASID (i.e. send the Page Request Message with the L bit Set).
  3. Wait for PRG Response Messages associated any outstanding Page
     Request Messages for the PASID.

So they have to flush their PR themselves. And since the device driver
completes this sequence before calling unbind(), then there shouldn't be
any oustanding PR for the PASID, and unbind() doesn't need to flush,
right?

But in the sequence above, step 1 should ensure that the device will not
send another PR for any successful response coming back at step 3.

So I agree with the below if we suspect there could be pending PR, but
given that pending PR are a stop marker thing and we don't know any device
using stop markers, I wondered why I bothered implementing PRIq flush at
all for SMMUv3, hence this RFC.

I can see how the device can complete #2,3 above. But the device driver
isn't the one managing page-responses right. So in order for the device to
know the above sequence is complete, it would need to get some assist from
IOMMU driver?

How does the driver know that everything host received has been responded
back to device?

True, but there could be some page-request in flight on its way to the
IOMMU. By draining and getting that round trip back to IOMMU we gaurantee
things in flight are flushed to PRQ after that Drain completes.

No the device driver just waits for the device to indicate that it has
completed the sequence. That's what the magic stop-PASID mechanism
described by PCIe does. In 6.20.1 "Managing PASID TLP Prefix Usage" it
says:

"A Function must have a mechanism to request that it gracefully stop using
 a specific PASID. This mechanism is device specific but must satisfy the
 following rules:
 [...]
 * When the stop request mechanism indicates completion, the Function has:
   [...]
   * Complied with additional rules described in Address Translation
     Services (Chapter 10 [10.4.1.2 quoted above]) if Address Translations
     or Page Requests were issued on the behalf of this PASID."

So after the device driver initiates this mechanism in the device, the
device must be able to indicate completion of the mechanism, which
includes completing all in-flight Page Requests. At that point the device
driver can call unbind() knowing there is no pending PR for this PASID.

In step #3, I think it is possible that device driver received page response
as part of the auto page response, so it may not guarantee all the in-flight
PRQs are completed inside IOMMU. Therefore, drain is _always_ needed to be
sure?

The goal is we do this when the device is in a messup up state. So we can't
take for granted the device is properly operating which is why we are going
to wack the device with a flr().

The only thing that's supposed to work without a brain freeze is the
invalidation logic. Spec requires devices to respond to invalidations even when
they are in the process of flr().

So when IOMMU does an invalidation wait with a Page-Drain, IOMMU waits till
the response for that arrives before completing the descriptor. Due to 
the posted semantics it will ensure any PR's issued and in the fabric are flushed 
out to memory. 

I suppose you can wait for the device to vouch for all responses, but that
is assuming the device is still functioning properly. Given that we use it
in two places,

* Reclaiming a PASID - only during a tear down sequence, skipping it
  doesn't really buy us much.
* During FLR this can't be skipped anyway due to the above sequence
  requirement.

So I don't think that's a problem, because non-last PR are not handled by
IOPF until the last PR is received. And when the IOMMU driver detects that
the queue has been overflowing and could have auto-responded to last PR,
we discard any pending non-last PR. I couldn't find a leak here.

Thanks,
Jean

Yes I was only wondering about normal PASID reclaim operations, in
unbind(). Agreed that for FLR we need to properly clean the queue, though
I do need to do more thinking about this.

Anyway, having a full priq drain in unbind() isn't harmful, just
unnecessary delay in my opinion. I'll drop these patches for now but
thanks for the discussion.

Thanks,
Jean
