I looked at this for a while and I do still have the feeling that
probably two structs and even two type IDs is probably a cleaner
design.
Like this:
// Or maybe use obj.type ?
enum iommufd_hw_pagetable_type {
IOMMUFD_HWPT_PAGING,
IOMMUFD_HWPT_NESTED,
};
struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_common {
struct iommufd_object obj;
struct iommu_domain *domain;
enum iommufd_hw_pagetable_type type;
};
struct iommufd_hw_pagetable {
struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_common common;
struct iommufd_ioas *ioas;
bool auto_domain : 1;
bool enforce_cache_coherency : 1;
bool msi_cookie : 1;
/* Head at iommufd_ioas::hwpt_list */
struct list_head hwpt_item;
};
struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_nested {
struct iommufd_hw_pagetable_common common;
// ??
};
I poked at it in an editor for a bit and it was looking OK but
requires breaking up a bunch of functions then I ran out of time
Also, we probably should feed enforce_cache_coherency through the
alloc_hwpt uapi and not try to autodetect it..
