[Xen-devel] [PATCH v8 0/3] VT-d Device-TLB flush issue

[Quan Xu <quan.xu@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patches fix current timeout concern and also allow limited ATS support:

1. Reduce spin timeout to 1ms, which can be boot-time changed with 
'vtd_qi_timeout'.
   For example:
           multiboot /boot/xen.gz ... vtd_qi_timeout=100 ...

2. Wrap a _sync version for all VT-d flush interfaces.

    For consistency, we wrap a _sync version for all VT-d flush interfaces.
    It simplifies caller logic and makes code more readable as well.

3. Fix vt-d Device-TLB flush timeout issue.
   If Device-TLB flush timed out, we would hide the target ATS
   device and crash the domain owning this ATS device. If impacted
   domain is hardware domain, just throw out a warning.

   The hidden device should be disallowed to be further assigned
   to any domain.

**NOTE**
   This patch set should base on 2 prereq patch sets:
    a). Make the pcidevs_lock a recursive one.
    b). Check VT-d Device-TLB flush error.

----
Not covered in this series:

    a) Eliminate the panic() in IOMMU_WAIT_OP, used only in VT-d register 
read/write.
       Further discussion is required on whether and how to improve it.
    b) Handle IOTLB/Context/IEC flush timeout.
