[PATCH] vfio/type1: handle case where IOMMU does not support PAGE_SIZE size

From: Eric Auger
Date: Thu Oct 29 2015 - 09:59:59 EST


Current vfio_pgsize_bitmap code hides the supported IOMMU page
sizes smaller than PAGE_SIZE. As a result, in case the IOMMU
does not support PAGE_SIZE page, the alignment check on map/unmap
is done with larger page sizes, if any. This can fail although
mapping could be done with pages smaller than PAGE_SIZE.

This patch modifies vfio_pgsize_bitmap implementation so that,
in case the IOMMU supports page sizes smaller than PAGE_HOST
we pretend PAGE_HOST is supported and hide sub-PAGE_HOST sizes.
That way the user will be able to map/unmap buffers whose size/
start address is aligned with PAGE_HOST. Pinning code uses that
granularity while iommu driver can use the sub-PAGE_HOST size
to map the buffer.

This was tested on AMD Seattle with 64kB page host. ARM MMU 401
currently expose 4kB, 2MB and 1GB page support. With a 64kB page host,
the map/unmap check is done against 2MB. Some alignment check fail
so VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA fail while we could map using 4kB IOMMU page
size.

RFC -> PATCH v1:
- move all modifications in vfio_pgsize_bitmap following Alex'
suggestion to expose a fake PAGE_HOST support
- restore WARN_ON's
