> This series implements the functionality of delivering IO page faults to
> user space through the IOMMUFD framework. One feasible use case is the
> nested translation. Nested translation is a hardware feature that
> supports two-stage translation tables for IOMMU. The second-stage
> translation table is managed by the host VMM, while the first-stage
> translation table is owned by user space. This allows user space to
> control the IOMMU mappings for its devices.
> 
> When an IO page fault occurs on the first-stage translation table, the
> IOMMU hardware can deliver the page fault to user space through the
> IOMMUFD framework. User space can then handle the page fault and
> respond
> to the device top-down through the IOMMUFD. This allows user space to
> implement its own IO page fault handling policies.
> 
> User space application that is capable of handling IO page faults should
> allocate a fault object, and bind the fault object to any domain that it
> is willing to handle the fault generatd for them. On a successful return
> of fault object allocation, the user can retrieve and respond to page
> faults by reading or writing to the file descriptor (FD) returned.
> 
> The iommu selftest framework has been updated to test the IO page fault
> delivery and response functionality.
