[RFC][PATCH v2 00/13] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Add NVIDIA implementation

From: Nicolin Chen
Date: Mon Aug 30 2021 - 23:07:45 EST


The SMMUv3 devices implemented in the Grace SoC support NVIDIA's custom
CMDQ-Virtualization (CMDQV) hardware. Like the new ECMDQ feature first
introduced in the ARM SMMUv3.3 specification, CMDQV adds multiple VCMDQ
interfaces to supplement the single architected SMMU_CMDQ in an effort
to reduce contention.

This series of patches add CMDQV support with its preparational changes:

* PATCH-1 to PATCH-8 are related to shared VMID feature: they are used
first to improve TLB utilization, second to bind a shared VMID with a
VCMDQ interface for hardware configuring requirement.

* PATCH-9 and PATCH-10 are to accommodate the NVIDIA implementation with
the existing arm-smmu-v3 driver.

* PATCH-11 borrows the "implementation infrastructure" from the arm-smmu
driver so later change can build upon it.

* PATCH-12 adds an initial NVIDIA implementation related to host feature,
and also adds implementation specific ->device_reset() and ->get_cmdq()
callback functions.

* PATCH-13 adds virtualization features using VFIO mdev interface, which
allows user space hypervisor to map and get access to one of the VCMDQ
interfaces of CMDQV module.

( Thinking that reviewers can get a better view of this implementation,
I am attaching QEMU changes here for reference purpose:
https://github.com/nicolinc/qemu/commits/dev/cmdqv_v6.0.0-rc2
The branch has all preparational changes, while I'm still integrating
device model and ARM-VIRT changes, and will push them these two days,
although they might not be in a good shape of being sent to review yet )

Above all, I marked RFC for this series, as I feel that we may come up
some better solution. So please kindly share your reviews and insights.

Thank you!

Changelog
v1->v2:
* Added mdev interface support for hypervisor and VMs.
* Added preparational changes for mdev interface implementation.
* PATCH-12 Changed ->issue_cmdlist() to ->get_cmdq() for a better
integration with recently merged ECMDQ-related changes.
