This patch adds VFIO_IOMMU_SVM_BIND_TASK for potential PASID table
binding requests.

On VT-d, this IOCTL cmd would be used to link the guest PASID page table
to host. While for other vendors, it may also be used to support other
kind of SVM bind request. Previously, there is a discussion on it with
ARM engineer. It can be found by the link below. This IOCTL cmd may
support SVM PASID bind request from userspace driver, or page table(cr3)
bind request from guest. These SVM bind requests would be supported by
adding different flags. e.g. VFIO_SVM_BIND_PASID is added to support
PASID bind from userspace driver, VFIO_SVM_BIND_PGTABLE is added to
support page table bind from guest.

This could be called "VFIO_IOMMU_SVM_BIND, since it will be used both to
bind tables and individual tasks.

yes, it is. would modify it in next version.

Hi Alex,

In this patchset, I'm trying to add two new IOCTL cmd for Shared
Virtual Memory virtualization. One for binding guest PASID Table
and one for iommu tlb invalidation from guest. ARM has similar
requirement on SVM supporting. Since it touched VFIO, I'd like
to know your comments on changes in VFIO.

Thanks,
Yi L

In the case of VFIO_SVM_BIND_PASIDTBL this is clearly struct
pasid_table_info?  So at a minimum this is a union including struct
pasid_table_info.  Furthermore how does a user learn what the opaque
data in struct pasid_table_info is without looking at the code?  A user
API needs to be clear and documented, not opaque and variable.  We
should also have references to the hardware spec for an Intel or ARM
PASID table in uapi.  flags should be defined as they're used, let's
not reserve them with the expectation of future use.

Agree. would add description accordingly. For the flags, I would remove
the last two as I wouldn't use. I think Jean would add them in his/her
patchset. Anyhow, one of us need to do merge on the flags.

Yes, I can add the VFIO_SVM_BIND_PASID (or rather _TASK) flag as (1 << 1)
in my series if it helps the merge. The PGTABLE flag is for another series
which I don't plan to send out anytime soon, since there already is enough
pending work on this.

Thanks,
Jean
