[PATCH v4 0/6] vfio/type1: Add support for valid iova list management

From: Shameer Kolothum
Date: Wed Feb 21 2018 - 07:25:26 EST


This series introduces an iova list associated with a vfio
iommu. The list is kept updated taking care of iommu apertures,
and reserved regions. Also this series adds checks for any conflict
with existing dma mappings whenever a new device group is attached to
the domain.

User-space can retrieve valid iova ranges using VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO
ioctl capability chains. Any dma map request outside the valid iova
range will be rejected.

v3 --> v4
Addressed comments received for v3.
-dma_addr_t instead of phys_addr_t
-LIST_HEAD() usage.
-Free up iova_copy list in case of error.
-updated logic in filling the iova caps info(patch #5)

RFCv2 --> v3
Removed RFC tag.
Addressed comments from Alex and Eric:
- Added comments to make iova list management logic more clear.
- Use of iova list copy so that original is not altered in
case of failure.

RFCv1 --> RFCv2
Addressed comments from Alex:
-Introduced IOVA list management and added checks for conflicts with
existing dma map entries during attach/detach.
