Subject: [PATCH/WIP/RFC 00/14] Renesas IPMMU driver work in progress

Dear Eiraku-san,

Here's a couple of patches that rework your IPMMU driver in the direction
pointed to by my comments. Feel free to use them as a base, squash them into
your code (my name doesn't need to be kept in commit messages) or even ignore
them completely where they make no sense.

Patch 5/14 has been sent to the linux-arm-kernel mailing list already as it's
an independent fix (but required by the next patches in the series).

After these 14 patches I ran into the issue of matching devices with a
particular IPMMU instance. This turned out to be more complex than I initially
thought. There's currently no driver in mainline that performs that task, and
I'm not sure whether the core infrastructure allows for doing so without
resorting to hacks.

The problem has been discussed very recently on the iommu list, you can find
more information at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/203717/. No solution has
been agreed on so far, maybe you could reply to the mail thread. Feel free to
CC me.

I'm unsure whether we should use a single ARM IOMMU mapping or one mapping per
device. This needs to be investigated as there's little documentation on the
subject. I would advice contacting Marek Szyprowski (the author of the ARM DMA
IOMMU code) to discuss this matter. Once again feel free to CC me, as well as
the appropriate mailing lists.

In my opinion the shmobile_iommu_attach_all_devices() function should be
removed, and devices should be attached with an IOMMU either as they are added
to the system, or as they are probed. Bus notifiers might be usable to achieve
that, as implemented in the above Tegra SMMU patch. This requires the IOMMU
being registered and fully operational at attachment time, so explicit IOMMU
attachment in driver code might be a better solution for now. That would
likely require one ARM DMA IOMMU mapping per device, device drivers would
explicitly call arm_iommu_create_mapping() and arm_iommu_attach_device().
