The bus_type structure defines dma_configure() callback for bus drivers
to configure DMA on the devices. This adds the paired dma_cleanup()
callback and calls it during driver unbinding so that bus drivers can do
some cleanup work.

One use case for this paired DMA callbacks is for the bus driver to check
for DMA ownership conflicts during driver binding, where multiple devices
belonging to a same IOMMU group (the minimum granularity of isolation and
protection) may be assigned to kernel drivers or user space respectively.

Without this change, for example, the vfio driver has to listen to a bus
BOUND_DRIVER event and then BUG_ON() in case of dma ownership conflict.
This leads to bad user experience since careless driver binding operation
may crash the system if the admin overlooks the group restriction. Aside
from bad design, this leads to a security problem as a root user, even with
lockdown=integrity, can force the kernel to BUG.

With this change, the bus driver could check and set the DMA ownership in
driver binding process and fail on ownership conflicts. The DMA ownership
should be released during driver unbinding.

All these bus callouts still looks horrible and just create tons of
boilerplate code.

Yes, Lu - Greg asked questions then didn't respond to their answers
meaning he accepts them, you should stick with the v4 version.

Trying to catch up on emails from the break, that was way down my list
of things to get back to as it's messy and non-obvious.  I'll revisit it
again after 5.17-rc1 is out, this is too late for that merge window
anyway.

thanks,

In this series we want to add calls into the iommu subsystem during
device driver binding/unbinding, so that the device DMA ownership
conflict (kernel driver vs. user-space) could be detected and avoided
before calling into device driver's .probe().

In this v5 series, we implemented this in the affected buses (amba/
platform/fsl-mc/pci) which are known to support assigning devices to
user space through the vfio framework currently. And more buses are
possible to be affected in the future if they also want to support
device assignment. Christoph commented that this will create boilerplate
code in various bus drivers.

Back to v4 of this series (please refer to below link [1]), we added
this call in the driver core if buses have provided the dma_configure()
callback (please refer to below link [2]).

Which would you prefer, or any other suggestions? We need your guide to
move this series ahead. Please help to suggest.

Let me look over the series again this afternooon.

I can't remember anymore what one vs. the other looks like.  Having an
explicit "opt-in" for a bus is good, in that no code breaks and only if
you want to use this do you have to set the flag.  Why do you want it to
be "always"?

thanks,
