Hi Vivek,

Thanks a lot for your work on this

I don't think this one is necessary here. The NEEDS_PASID flags added by
commit 970471914c67 ("iommu: Allow page responses without PASID") mainly
helps Linux keep track of things internally. It does tell the fault
handler whether to reply with PASID or not, but we don't need that here.
The virtio-iommu driver knows whether a PASID is required by looking at
the "PRG Response PASID Required" bit in the PCIe capability. For non-PCIe
faults (e.g. SMMU stall), I'm guessing we'll need a PROBE property to
declare that the endpoint supports recoverable faults anyway, so "PASID
required in response" can go through there as well.

It's also used for declaring validity of fields.
VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_ADDRESS already tells whether the address field is
valid, so all the other flags introduced by this patch can go in here.

I'm not sure why we made it 32-bit in Linux UAPI, it's a little wasteful.
PCIe PRGI is 9-bits and SMMU STAG is 16-bits. Since the scope of the grpid
is the endpoint, 16-bit means 64k in-flight faults per endpoint, which
seems more than enough.

New fields must be appended at the end of the struct, because old drivers
will expect to find the 'endpoint' field at this offset. You could remove
'reserved3' while adding 'grpid', to keep the struct layout.

So the base structure, currently in the spec, looks like this:

struct virtio_iommu_fault {
u8 reason;
u8 reserved[3];
le32 flags;
le32 endpoint;
le32 reserved1;
le64 address;
};

#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_READ (1 << 0)
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_WRITE (1 << 1)
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_ADDRESS (1 << 8)

The extended struct could be:

struct virtio_iommu_fault {
u8 reason;
u8 reserved[3];
le32 flags;
le32 endpoint;
le32 pasid;
le64 address;
/* Page request group ID */
le16 group_id;
u8 reserved1[6];
/* For VT-d private data */
le64 private_data[2];
};

#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_READ (1 << 0)
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_WRITE (1 << 1)
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_EXEC (1 << 2)
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_PRIVILEGED (1 << 3)
/* Last fault in group */
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_LAST (1 << 4)
/* Fault is a recoverable page request and requires a response */
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_PAGE_REQ (1 << 5)

/* address field is valid */
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_ADDRESS (1 << 8)
/* pasid field is valid */
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_PASID (1 << 9)
/* group_id field is valid */
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_GROUP_ID (1 << 10)
/* private data field is valid */
#define VIRTIO_IOMMU_FAULT_F_PRIV_DATA (1 << 11)

Thanks,
Jean
