[PATCH v2 0/2] iommu: Reserve PCI host bridge MMIO windows for IOVA

From: Guanghui Feng

The DMA IOVA layer reserves PCI host bridge MMIO windows via
iova_reserve_pci_windows() to keep IOVA allocations from overlapping
those address ranges. As commit fade1ec055dc ("iommu/dma: Avoid PCI
host bridge windows") explains, a host bridge may interpret addresses
falling within its MMIO windows as peer-to-peer DMA, leading to
faults, data corruption, or DMA transactions being misrouted to the
wrong PCIe device. This is especially dangerous when a device sits
behind a PCIe switch and ACS Upstream Forwarding is not fully enabled.

Passthrough paths that let userspace pick IOVAs did not honour these
windows: VFIO type1 and iommufd only excluded IOMMU driver-level
reserved regions (RMRR, unity maps, MSI), not PCI host bridge MMIO
windows.

This series closes that gap:

Patch 1 adds a common helper, iommu_get_pci_resv_windows(), and
reserves PCI host bridge MMIO windows in
iommu_get_group_resv_regions() so all group-level consumers (VFIO
type1, sysfs reserved_regions) avoid them; iova_reserve_pci_windows()
is refactored to reuse the helper.

Patch 2 switches iommufd's iopt_table_enforce_dev_resv_regions() to
iommu_get_group_resv_regions() so IOMMU_IOAS_IOVA_RANGES also avoids
PCI host bridge MMIO windows, aligning iommufd with VFIO type1.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260921070234.897736-1-guanghuifeng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Changes since v1:
- v1 was a single patch; v2 is a two-patch series.
- Patch 1: build the reservations with iommu_insert_resv_region()
instead of list_add_tail(), so the group reserved list stays sorted
by start address and overlapping same-type regions are merged. The
helper now frees its partial list itself on error and leaves the
caller's list untouched.
- Patch 2 (new): reserve PCI host bridge MMIO windows for the iommufd
IOAS as well, so IOMMU_IOAS_IOVA_RANGES no longer reports IOVAs that
overlap PCI MMIO windows.

Notes on earlier automated review feedback:
- The size_t length of each window matches struct iommu_resv_region's
existing field type; no new truncation is introduced on 64-bit.
- An IOMMU group cannot span multiple PCI host bridges:
pci_device_group() only groups devices within a single host bridge
hierarchy, so scanning the first PCI device of the group is enough.
