Add a separate function to fire pasid table bind notifier. In future
there may be more pasid bind type with different granularity. e.g.
binding pasid entry instead of binding pasid table. It can be supported
by adding bind_type, check bind_type in fire func and trigger correct
notifier.

Peter,

should this reuse ->notify, or should it be different function pointer
in IOMMUNotifier?

Hi Paolo,

Thx for your review.

I think it should be “->notify” here. In this patchset, the new notifier
is registered with the existing notifier registration API. So the all the
notifiers are in the mr->iommu_notify list. And notifiers are labeled
by notify flag, so it is able to differentiate the IOMMUNotifier nodes.
When the flag meets, trigger it by “->notify”. The diagram below shows
my understanding , wish it helps to make me understood.

VFIOContainer
       |
       giommu_list(VFIOGuestIOMMU)
                \
                 VFIOGuestIOMMU1 ->   VFIOGuestIOMMU2 -> VFIOGuestIOMMU3 ...
                    |                     |                 |
mr->iommu_notify: IOMMUNotifier   ->    IOMMUNotifier  ->  IOMMUNotifier
                  (Flag:MAP/UNMAP)     (Flag:SVM bind)  (Flag:tlb invalidate)


Actually, compared with the MAP/UNMAP notifier, the newly added notifier has
no start/end check, and there may be other types of bind notfier flag in
future, so I added a separate fire func for SVM bind notifier.

Thanks,
Yi L

I agree with Paolo that this interface might not be the suitable place
for the SVM notifiers (just like what I worried about in previous
discussions).

The biggest problem is that, if you see current notifier mechanism,
it's per-memory-region. However iiuc your messages should be
per-iommu, or say, per translation unit. While, for each iommu, there
can be more than one memory regions (ppc can be an example). When
there are more than one MRs binded to the same iommu unit, which
memory region should you register to? Any one of them, or all?

So my conclusion is, it just has nothing to do with memory regions...

Instead of a different function pointer in IOMMUNotifer, IMHO we can
even move a step further, to isolate IOTLB notifications (targeted at
memory regions and with start/end ranges) out of SVM/other
notifications, since they are different in general. So we basically
need two notification mechanism:

- one for memory regions, currently what I can see is IOTLB
  notifications

- one for translation units, currently I see all the rest of
  notifications needed in virt-svm in this category

Maybe some RFC patches would be good to show what I mean... I'll see
whether I can prepare some.

Hi Peter,

yes, you're right. the newly added notifier is per-iommu.

Honestly, I'm not expert on ppc. According to the current code,
I can only find one MR initialized with memory_region_init_iommu()
in spapr_tce_table_realize(). So to better get your point, let me
check. Do you mean there may be multiple of iommu MRs behind a iommu?

I admit it must be considered if there are multiple iommu MRs. I may
choose to register for one of them since the notifier is per-iommu as
you've pointed. Then vIOMMU emulator need to trigger the notifier with
the correct MR. Not sure if ppc vIOMMU is fine with it.

I agree that it would be helpful to split the two kinds of notifiers. I
marked it as a FIXME in patch 0006 of this series. Just saw your RFC patch
for common IOMMUObject. Thx for your work, would try to review it.

Besides the notifier registration, pls also help to review the SVM
virtualization itself. Would be glad to know your comments.

I am not either. :)

But yes, that's what I mean. At least that's how I understand it.
