[RFC PATCH 05/20] VFIO: add new IOCTL for svm bind tasks

2017-04-26T10:23:59Z

Add a new IOCTL cmd VFIO_IOMMU_SVM_BIND_TASK attached on container->fd.

On VT-d, this IOCTL cmd would be used to link the guest PASID page table
to host. While for other vendors, it may also be used to support other
kind of SVM bind request. Previously, there is a discussion on it with
ARM engineer. It can be found by the link below. This IOCTL cmd may
support SVM PASID bind request from userspace driver, or page table(cr3)
bind request from guest. These SVM bind requests would be supported by
adding different flags. e.g. VFIO_SVM_BIND_PASID is added to support
PASID bind from userspace driver, VFIO_SVM_BIND_PGTABLE is added to
support page table bind from guest.
