Allocate the iommu during the parse of DMA remapping hardware definition structures. And also, introduce routines for device scope initialization which will be explicitly called during dma-remapping initialization. These will be used for enabling interrupt remapping separately from the existing DMA-remapping enabling sequence.

Clean up the intel-iommu code related to deferred iommu flush logic. There is no need to allocate all the iommu's as a sequential array. This will be used later in the interrupt-remapping patch series to allocate iommu much early and individually for each device remapping hardware unit.

I would like to potentially move the sparc64 IOMMU code over to using the nice new drivers/pci/iova.[ch] code for free area management.. In order to do that we have to detach the IOMMU page size assumptions which only really need to exist in the intel-iommu.[ch] code. This patch attempts to implement that.

Add and changes a few sanity checks in dmar.c. 1. The haw field in ACPI DMAR table in VT-d spec doesn't describe the range of haw. But since DMA page size is 4KB in DMA remapping, haw should be at least 4KB. The current VT-d code in dmar.c returns failure when haw==0. This sanity check is not accurate and execution can pass when haw is less than one page size 4KB. This patch changes the haw sanity check to validate if haw is less than 4KB. 2. Add dmar_rmrr_units verification. 3. Add parse_dmar_table() verification.

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