From the perspective of the DT, this behaves just like an IOMMU, even if the exact mechanism is different from most hardware IOMMU implementations.well, agreeIt does not quite fit the model that Linux currently uses for iommus, as that has an allocator for dma_addr_t spaceyes (# 3/7 adds grant-table based allocator), but it would think it's conceptually close enough that it makes sense for the binding.Interesting idea. I am wondering, do we need an extra actions for this to work in Linux guest (dummy IOMMU driver, etc)?It depends on how closely the guest implementation can be made to resemble a normal iommu. If you do allocate dma_addr_t addresses, it may actually be close enough that you can just turn the grant-table code into a normal iommu driver and change nothing else.Unfortunately, I failed to find a way how use grant references at the iommu_ops level (I mean to fully pretend that we are an IOMMU driver). I am not too familiar with that, so what is written below might be wrong or at least not precise. The normal IOMMU driver in Linux doesn’t allocate DMA addresses by itself, it just maps (IOVA-PA) what was requested to be mapped by the upper layer. The DMA address allocation is done by the upper layer (DMA-IOMMU which is the glue layer between DMA API and IOMMU API allocates IOVA for PA?). But, all what we need here is just to allocate our specific grant-table based DMA addresses (DMA address = grant reference + offset in the page), so let’s say we need an entity to take a physical address as parameter and return a DMA address (what actually commit #3/7 is doing), and that’s all. So working at the dma_ops layer we get exactly what we need, with the minimal changes to guest infrastructure. In our case the Xen itself acts as an IOMMU. Assuming that we want to reuse the IOMMU infrastructure somehow for our needs. I think, in that case we will likely need to introduce a new specific IOVA allocator (alongside with a generic one) to be hooked up by the DMA-IOMMU layer if we run on top of Xen. But, even having the specific IOVA allocator to return what we indeed need (DMA address = grant reference + offset in the page) we will still need the specific minimal required IOMMU driver to be present in the system anyway in order to track the mappings(?) and do nothing with them, returning a success (this specific IOMMU driver should have all mandatory callbacks implemented). I completely agree, it would be really nice to reuse generic IOMMU bindings rather than introducing Xen specific property if what we are trying to implement in current patch series fits in the usage of "iommus" in Linux more-less. But, if we will have to add more complexity/more components to the code for the sake of reusing device tree binding, this raises a question whether that’s worthwhile. Or I really missed something?I think Arnd was primarily suggesting to reuse the IOMMU Device Tree bindings, not necessarily the IOMMU drivers framework in Linux (although that would be an added bonus.) I know from previous discussions with you that making the grant table fit in the existing IOMMU drivers model is difficult, but just reusing the Device Tree bindings seems feasible?I started experimenting with that. As wrote in a separate email, I got a deferred probe timeout, after inserting required nodes into guest device tree, which seems to be a consequence of the unavailability of IOMMU, I will continue to investigate this question.I have experimented with that. Yes, just reusing the Device Tree bindings is technically feasible (and we are able to do this by only touching grant-dma-ops.c), although deferred probe timeout still stands (as there is no IOMMU driver being present actually).

I am wondering, would be the proper solution to eliminate deferred probe timeout issue in our particular case (without introducing an extra IOMMU driver)?In reality I don't think there is a way to do that. I would create an empty skelethon IOMMU driver for xen,grant-dma. Ok, I found yet another option how we can avoid deferred probe timeout issue. I am not sure whether it will be welcome. But it doesn't really require introducing stub IOMMU driver or other changes in the guest. The idea is to make IOMMU device unavailable (status = "disabled"), this way of_iommu_configure() will treat that as success condition also. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18/source/drivers/iommu/of_iommu.c#L31 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.18/source/drivers/iommu/of_iommu.c#L149 xen_grant_dma { compatible = "xen,grant-dma"; #iommu-cells = <0x01>; phandle = <0xfde9>; status = "disabled"; }; virtio@2000000 { compatible = "virtio,mmio"; reg = <0x00 0x2000000 0x00 0x200>; interrupts = <0x00 0x01 0xf01>; interrupt-parent = <0xfde8>; dma-coherent; iommus = <0xfde9 0x01>; }; I have checked, this "fixes" deferred probe timeout issue.Or we indeed need to introduce stub IOMMU driver (I placed it to driver/xen instead of driver/iommu, also we can even squash it with grant-dma-ops.c?). This stub driver also results in NO_IOMMU condition (as "of_xlate" callback is not implemented). diff --git a/drivers/xen/Kconfig b/drivers/xen/Kconfig index a7bd8ce..35b91b9 100644 --- a/drivers/xen/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/xen/Kconfig @@ -335,6 +335,10 @@ config XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOChaving to balloon out RAM regions in order to obtain physical memory space to create such mappings. +config XEN_GRANT_DMA_IOMMU + bool + select IOMMU_API + config XEN_GRANT_DMA_OPS bool select DMA_OPS @@ -343,6 +347,7 @@ config XEN_VIRTIO bool "Xen virtio support" depends on VIRTIO select XEN_GRANT_DMA_OPS + select XEN_GRANT_DMA_IOMMU help Enable virtio support for running as Xen guest.
