Hi Oleksandr,

Hi Julien.


Thank you for the review.



Please try to get your patch on the latest Xen before sending it. So you can get the right people CCed. For instance, Volodymyr has not been CCed as a reviewer.

Ooh, next time will do. Sorry for that.

There is a strict requirement for the IOMMU which wants to share
the P2M table with the CPU. The maximum supported by the IOMMU
Stage-2 input size must be greater or equal to the P2M IPA size.

So, first initialize the IOMMU and gather the requirements and
then initialize the P2M. In the P2M code, take into the account
the IOMMU requirements and restrict "pa_range" if necessary.

All the code you modify is arm64 specific. For arm32, the number of IPA bits is hardcoded. So if you modify p2m_ipa_bits, you would end up to misconfigure VTCR.

Indeed, will guard with #ifdef CONFIG_ARM_64.

Why RFC?

1. Patch assumes that IPMMU support is already in.
2. Not sure for the SMMU.

If there are no objections I will craft a proper patch.

Any uninitialized global variables are 0 by default. But I think 0 will not be correct here. You are assuming all the IOMMUs can support the same number of IPA bits.

Yes, this was my assumption.



I am not aware if such platform exists, but this is not prevented by the SMMU specification. So it would be possible to have one SMMU supporting only 42-bits while the other would support 48-bits.

What do you think would be the proper action at the moment?

I am not entirely happy that the IOMMU driver is updating p2m_ipa_bits directly.

It makes things fairly unclear when the value of p2m_ipa_bits will be stable.

I would prefer if we provide an helper that allow restricting the size. Maybe p2m_restrict_ipa_bits(...).

Makes sense. Will implement.




The helper can then decide how to deal with it.

OK. I am wondering, do we have cases when we shouldn't restrict the size (except cases when IOMMU wants wrong p2m_ipa_bits value)?

While I know the compiler will do the right things, this is slightly confusing to read. Please add 64 - pa_range_info... between parenthesis.

Will do.




But I think you can just check against t0sz here. Also, it feels to me a strict equality would be better. If p2m_ipa_bits is neither of the value specified here, then most likely sharing the page tables was the wrong thing to do.

I am afraid I don't completely understand why we need to check against t0sz. Or probably, you meant to check against pabits?

Please add a comment on top of either setup_virt_paging() (or iommu_setup()) to explain the dependency between the two.

Yes, will add.

Why this ASSERT? I know that Xen is only supporting one kind of IOMMU, but you could imagine a platform with various of them. So this may trigger when it should not.
I didn't take into account the platform where IOMMUs could support the different number of IPA bits. What do you think would be the proper action at the moment? I could bail out with error here (and for SMMU as well) to not allow creating guest domain for now...
