This patch adds PageSelectiveInvalidation support replacing existing
DomainSelectiveInvalidation for intel_{map/unmap}_sg() calls and also
enables to mapping one big contiguous DMA virtual address which is mapped
to discontiguous physical address for SG map/unmap calls.
"Doamin selective invalidations" wipes out the IOMMU address translation
cache based on domain ID where as "Page selective invalidations" wipes out
the IOMMU address translation cache for that address mask range which is
more cache friendly when compared to Domain selective invalidations.
Here is how it is done.
1) changes to iova.c
alloc_iova() now takes a bool size_aligned argument, which
when when set, returns the io virtual address that is
naturally aligned to 2 ^ x, where x is the order
of the size requested.
Returning this io vitual address which is naturally
aligned helps iommu to do the "page selective
invalidations" which is IOMMU cache friendly
over "domain selective invalidations".
2) Changes to driver/pci/intel-iommu.c
Clean up intel_{map/unmap}_{single/sg} () calls so that
s/g map/unamp calls is no more dependent on
intel_{map/unmap}_single()
intel_map_sg() now computes the total DMA virtual address
required and allocates the size aligned total DMA virtual address
and maps the discontiguous physical address to the allocated
contiguous DMA virtual address.
In the intel_unmap_sg() case since the DMA virtual address
is contiguous and size_aligned, PageSelectiveInvalidation
is used replacing earlier DomainSelectiveInvalidations.

Intel IOMMU driver needs memory during DMA map calls to setup its internal
page tables and for other data structures. As we all know that these DMA map
calls are mostly called in the interrupt context or with the spinlock held by
the upper level drivers(network/storage drivers), so in order to avoid any
memory allocation failure due to low memory issues, this patch makes memory
allocation by temporarily setting PF_MEMALLOC flags for the current task
before making memory allocation calls.
We evaluated mempools as a backup when kmem_cache_alloc() fails
and found that mempools are really not useful here because
1) We don't know for sure how much to reserve in advance
2) And mempools are not useful for GFP_ATOMIC case (as we call
memory alloc functions with GFP_ATOMIC)
(akpm: point 2 is wrong...)
With PF_MEMALLOC flag set in the current->flags, the VM subsystem avoids any
watermark checks before allocating memory thus guarantee'ing the memory till
the last free page. Further, looking at the code in mm/page_alloc.c in
__alloc_pages() function, looks like this flag is useful only in the
non-interrupt context.
If we are in the interrupt context and memory allocation in IOMMU driver fails
for some reason, then the DMA map api's will return failure and it is up to
the higher level drivers to retry. Suppose, if upper level driver programs
the controller with the buggy DMA virtual address, the IOMMU will block that
DMA transaction when that happens thus preventing any corruption to main
memory.
So far in our test scenario, we were unable to create any memory allocation
failure inside dma map api calls.

Also this code uses red black trees to store the allocated and reserved iova

When devices are under a p2p bridge, upstream transactions get replaced by the
device id of the bridge as it owns the PCIE transaction. Hence its necessary
to setup translations on behalf of the bridge as well. Due to this limitation
all devices under a p2p share the same domain in a DMAR.
We just cache the type of device, if its a native PCIe device
or not for later use.

This patch supports the upcomming Intel IOMMU hardware a.k.a. Intel(R)
Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture and the hardware spec

http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm
FAQ! (questions from akpm, answers from ak)
> So... what's all this code for?
>
> I assume that the intent here is to speed things up under Xen, etc?
Yes in some cases, but not this code. That would be the Xen version of this
code that could potentially assign whole devices to guests. I expect this to
be only useful in some special cases though because most hardware is not
virtualizable and you typically want an own instance for each guest.
Ok at some point KVM might implement this too; i likely would use this code
for this.
> Do we
> have any benchmark results to help us to decide whether a merge would be
> justified?
The main advantage for doing it in the normal kernel is not performance, but
more safety. Broken devices won't be able to corrupt memory by doing random
DMA.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for graphics yet, for that need user space
interfaces for the X server are needed.
There are some potential performance benefits too:
- When you have a device that cannot address the complete address range an
IOMMU can remap its memory instead of bounce buffering. Remapping is likely
cheaper than copying.
- The IOMMU can merge sg lists into a single virtual block. This could
potentially speed up SG IO when the device is slow walking SG lists. [I
long ago benchmarked 5% on some block benchmark with an old MPT Fusion; but
it probably depends a lot on the HBA]
And you get better driver debugging because unexpected memory accesses from
the devices will cause a trappable event.
>
> Does it slow anything down?
It adds more overhead to each IO so yes.
This patch:
Add support for early detection and parsing of DMAR's (DMA Remapping) reported
to OS via ACPI tables.
DMA remapping(DMAR) devices support enables independent address translations
for Direct Memory Access(DMA) from Devices. These DMA remapping devices are
reported via ACPI tables and includes pci device scope covered by these DMA
remapping device.

Current memory notifier has some defects yet. (Fortunately, nothing uses
it.) This patch is to fix and rearrange for them.
- Add information of start_pfn, nr_pages, and node id if node status is
changes from/to memoryless node for callback functions.
Callbacks can't do anything without those information.
- Add notification going-online status.
It is necessary for creating per node structure before the node's
pages are available.
- Move GOING_OFFLINE status notification after page isolation.
It is good place for return memory like cache for callback,
because returned page is not used again.
- Make CANCEL events for rollingback when error occurs.
- Delete MEM_MAPPING_INVALID notification. It will be not used.

This patch allows a failed path group initialisation command to be retried.
It adds a generic MP_RETRY flag and a "pg_init_retries" feature to
device-mapper multipath which limits the number of retries.
1. A hw handler sends a path initialization command to the storage and
the command completes with an error code indicating the command
should be retried.
2. The hardware handler calls dm_pg_init_complete() with MP_RETRY
set in err_flags to ask the dm multipath core to retry.
3. If the retry limit has not been exceeded, pg_init() is retried.
Otherwise fail_path() is called.
If you are using the userspace multipath-tools or device-mapper-multipath
package, you can set pg_init_retries in the 'device' section of your
/etc/multipath.conf file. For example:
features "2 pg_init_retries 7"
The number of PG retries attempted is reported in the 'dmsetup status' output.
