[PATCH v8 00/12] iommu: Prepare to deliver page faults to user space

When a user-managed page table is attached to an IOMMU, it is necessary
to deliver IO page faults to user space so that they can be handled
appropriately. One use case for this is nested translation, which is
currently being discussed in the mailing list.

I have posted a RFC series [1] that describes the implementation of
delivering page faults to user space through IOMMUFD. This series has
received several comments on the IOMMU refactoring, which I am trying to
address in this series.

The major refactoring includes:

- [PATCH 01 ~ 04] Move include/uapi/linux/iommu.h to
include/linux/iommu.h. Remove the unrecoverable fault data definition.
- [PATCH 05 ~ 06] Remove iommu_[un]register_device_fault_handler().
- [PATCH 07 ~ 10] Separate SVA and IOPF. Make IOPF a generic page fault
handling framework.
- [PATCH 11 ~ 12] Improve iopf framework for iommufd use.

This is also available at github [2].

Change log:

v8:
- Drop PATCH 12/12 as it is no longer necessary to drain page requests page requests
during PASID translation changes.
- Separate PATCH 11/12 into two distinct patches. The first patch refines locking
scheme for protecting per-device fault data, while the second patch replaces
mutex with RCU to enhance locking efficiency.
- PATCH 01 ~ 10 are in good shapes now.

v7: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20231115030226.16700-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- Rebase to v6.7-rc1.
- Export iopf_group_response() for global use.
- Release lock when calling iopf handler.
- The whole series has been verified to work for SVA case on Intel
platforms by Zhao Yan. Add her Tested-by to affected patches.

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230928042734.16134-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- [PATCH 09/12] Check IS_ERR() against the iommu domain. [Jingqi/Jason]
- [PATCH 12/12] Rename the comments and name of iopf_queue_flush_dev(),
no functionality changes. [Kevin]
- All patches rebased on the latest iommu/core branch.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230914085638.17307-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- Consolidate per-device fault data management. (New patch 11)
- Improve iopf_queue_flush_dev(). (New patch 12)

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230825023026.132919-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- Merge iommu_fault_event and iopf_fault. They are duplicate.
- Move iommu_report_device_fault() and iommu_page_response() to
io-pgfault.c.
- Move iommu_sva_domain_alloc() to iommu-sva.c.
- Add group->domain and use it directly in sva fault handler.
- Misc code refactoring and refining.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230817234047.195194-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- Convert the fault data structures from uAPI to kAPI.
- Merge iopf_device_param into iommu_fault_param.
- Add debugging on domain lifetime for iopf.
- Remove patch "iommu: Change the return value of dev_iommu_get()".
- Remove patch "iommu: Add helper to set iopf handler for domain".
- Misc code refactoring and refining.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230727054837.147050-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
- Remove unrecoverable fault data definition as suggested by Kevin.
- Drop the per-device fault cookie code considering that doesn't make
much sense for SVA.
- Make the IOMMU page fault handling framework generic. So that it can
available for use cases other than SVA.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230711010642.19707-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com/
