Subject: [PATCH 0/6] iommufd support allocating nested parent domain

IOMMU hardwares that support nested translation would have two stages
address translation (normally mentioned as stage-1 and stage-2). The page
table formats of the stage-1 and stage-2 can be different. e.g., VT-d has
different page table formats for stage-1 and stage-2.

Nested parent domain is the iommu domain used to represent the stage-2
translation. In IOMMUFD, both stage-1 and stage-2 translation are tracked
as HWPT (a.k.a. iommu domain). Stage-2 HWPT is parent of stage-1 HWPT as
stage-1 cannot work alone in nested translation. In the cases of stage-1 and
stage-2 page table format are different, the parent HWPT should use exactly
the stage-2 page table format. However, the existing kernel hides the format
selection in iommu drivers, so the domain allocated via IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC can
use either stage-1 page table format or stage-2 page table format, there is
no guarantees for it.

To enforce the page table format of the nested parent domain, this series
introduces a new iommu op (domain_alloc_user) which can accept user flags
to allocate domain as userspace requires. It also converts IOMMUFD to use
the new domain_alloc_user op for domain allocation if supported, then extends
the IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC ioctl to pass down a NEST_PARENT flag to allocate a HWPT
which can be used as parent. This series implements the new op in Intel iommu
driver to have a complete picture. It is a preparation for adding nesting
support in IOMMUFD/IOMMU.

Yi Liu (6):
  iommu: Add new iommu op to create domains owned by userspace
  iommufd/hw_pagetable: Use domain_alloc_user op for domain allocation
  iommufd/hw_pagetable: Accepts user flags for domain allocation
  iommufd/hw_pagetable: Support allocating nested parent domain
  iommufd/selftest: Add domain_alloc_user() support in iommu mock
  iommu/vt-d: Add domain_alloc_user op
