iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory. It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea. We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU device specific: - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID - Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390 - Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest. Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things. As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs, which is currently VFIO and VDPA. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQRRRCHOFoQz/8F5bUaFwuHvBreFYQUCY5ct7wAKCRCFwuHvBreF YZZ5AQDciXfcgXLt0UBEmWupNb0f/asT6tk717pdsKm8kAZMNAEAsIyLiKT5HqGl s7fAu+CQ1pr9+9NKGevD+frw8Solsw4= =jJkd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'for-linus-iommufd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgg/iommufd Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe: "iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.
