[PATCH v2 0/8] Support IOMMU page sizes larger than the CPU page size

RFC Patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20210806155523.50429-1-sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Hi,

After a very helpful discussion with Robin Murphy on the RFC, here's v2 that is slowly
starting to look sane.
I've been running this code for two weeks now and mainly tested it with usb storage devices
connected to dwc3 and to xhci over pcie on the M1.

Some background: On the Apple M1 the IOMMUs are hardwired to only support 16 KB pages.
We'd still like to boot Linux with 4KB pages though because that's what most distros
ship these days. This patch series adds support for that setup to the IOMMU DMA API.

This is essentially done by always mapping the encapsulating IOMMU page and adjusting
the returned iova offset. There are also changes to only allow DMA domains to make use
of this and prevent UNMANAGED domains from encountering unexpected situations.

For untrusted devices the allocation size is simply aligned to iovad->granule if they
don't already go through the swiotlb path. I have not been able to test that part
so far though since there's no Thunderbolt support for the M1 yet.

The series is based on top of iommu/next (and without the last commit probably also on
iommu/core). It won't apply cleanly on apple/dart since it already takes Robin's DMA domain
cleanup series into account.


Best,

Sven
