When userland VFIO defines a new IOMMU for a guest it may
want to specify to the guest the physical limits of
the underlying host IOMMU to avoid access to forbidden
memory ranges.
Currently, the vfio_iommu_type1 driver does not report this
information to userland.
Let's extend the vfio_iommu_type1_info structure reported
by the ioctl VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO command to report the
IOMMU limits as new uint64_t entries aperture_start and
aperture_end.
Let's also extend the flags bit map to add a flag specifying
if this extension of the info structure is reported or not.

This only supports the most simple topology, even x86 cannot claim to
have a single contiguous aperture, it's typically bisected by an MSI
window. I think we need an API that supports one or more apertures
out of the box. Also as Eric indicates, a capability is probably the
better option for creating a flexible structure. Thanks,
Alex
Yes, I understand that a capability here is a must, I will follow this way.
For having multiple aperture and MSI protection, I understood it was
done using windows and reserved regions.
Can you point me to my error?
See the thread from Huawei, I don't think that's a solved problem:

If you want sysfs to be consumed separately by the user and fed into
new QEMU command line options for creating a VM layout, perhaps that's
sufficient, but I think the vfio api for the iommu should encompass
describing available ranges of mappable iova space without cobbling
together arbitrary info from sysfs. Thanks,
Alex
Hi Alex,
I resume to see if I understood you well:
We may have physical IOMMUs with a more complex access that can not be
specified by only defining the start and end of a read/write region.
Windows can be used to reserve regions for the VM but it is not what we
want. What we want is to know what the host can offer which is a mix of
aperture and windows.
To report this we can use capabilities in a positive way, describing
what the host offers not what it can not provide.
To achieve this we have to use two interfaces:
- VFIO user interface with VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO and capabilities
- Physical IOMMU interface with both geometry and window iommu_ops
callbacks.
If it is sufficiently near from what you thought I will provide a new
version in this direction.
I believe so. VFIO would construct a set of mappable iova
regions/windows using information provided via the IOMMU API via
iommu_ops and expose this via a new capability supporting multiple such
regions via the VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO ioctl. This ioctl would be
extended to support capabilities in the same way we've done so for
other vfio ioctls. Thanks,
Alex
Hi Alex,
Thanks, I go this way.
