New VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_v2_IOMMU type supports dynamic DMA window management.
This adds ability to VFIO common code to dynamically allocate/remove
DMA windows in the host kernel when new VFIO container is added/removed.

This adds VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE ioctl to vfio_listener_region_add
and adds just created IOMMU into the host IOMMU list; the opposite
action is taken in vfio_listener_region_del.

When creating a new window, this uses euristic to decide on the TCE table
levels number.

This should cause no guest visible change in behavior.

The hard-coded 0x1000 looks dubious..

Well, that's the minimal page size...

Really?  Some BookE CPUs support 1KiB page size..

Hm. For IOMMU? Ok. s/0x1000/1/ should do then :)

Uh.. actually I don't think those CPUs generally had an IOMMU.  But if
it's been done for CPU MMU I wouldn't count on it not being done for
IOMMU.

1 is a safer choice.

I think this would be clearer split out into a helper function,
vfio_create_host_window() or something.


It is rather vfio_spapr_create_host_window() and we were avoiding
xxx_spapr_xxx so far. I'd cut-n-paste the SPAPR PCI AS listener to a
separate file but this usually triggers more discussion and never ends well.

I don't think you need these asserts.  AFAICT the same logic should
work if a RAM MR was added directly to PCI address space - this would
create the new host window, then the existing code for adding a RAM MR
would map that block of RAM statically into the new window.

In what configuration/machine can we do that on SPAPR?

spapr guests won't ever do that.  But you can run an x86 guest on a
powernv host and this situation could come up.


I am pretty sure VFIO won't work in this case anyway.

I'm not.  There's no fundamental reason VFIO shouldn't work with TCG.

This is not about TCG (pseries TCG guest works with VFIO on powernv host),
this is about things like VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO vs.
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO ioctls but yes, fundamentally, it can work.

Should I add such support in this patchset?

Unless adding the generality is really complex, and so far I haven't
seen a reason for it to be.

Seriously? :(
