Subject: [PATCH v5 5/5] iommufd/vdevice: add TSM request ioctl
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 21:18:16 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525154816.1029642-6-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525154816.1029642-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
Add IOMMU_VDEVICE_TSM_REQUEST for issuing TSM guest request/response
transactions against an iommufd vdevice.
The ioctl takes a vdevice_id plus request/response user buffers and length
fields, and forwards the request through tsm_guest_req() to the PCI TSM
backend. This provides the host-side passthrough path used by CoCo guests
for TSM device attestation and acceptance flows after the device has been
bound to TSM.
Also add the supporting tsm_guest_req() helper and associated TSM core
interface definitions.
Based on changes from: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@amd.com>
