[PATCH v4 0/5] iommu: Standardize ATS robustness and state tracking

[Pranjal Shrivastava]

The primary motivation for this series is an ATS state mismatch observed
under heavy load (via iova_stress). A failure in pci_enable_ats() leaves
IOMMU drivers like arm-smmu-v3 with inconsistent state leading to PCI core
warnings during device detach.

While David's recent work [1] addressed a discovery race for specific
quirked devices by moving them to the HEADER phase, gaps remained
regarding how Virtual Functions (VFs) inherit state from their Physical
Functions (PFs). Specifically, pci_ats_supported() did not account for
PF-level quirked status, and pci_prepare_ats() lacked STU validation for
VFs.

Based on discussion with Jason in v3 it was decided that IOMMU drivers 
should explicitly check pci_ats_supported before calling pci_prepare_ats
and the device probe should fail if pci_prepare_ats fails. Since these
early gates preclude software configuration errors, any remaining failure
during pci_enable_ats() is treated as a kernel bug & reported via WARN().

This series standardizes this pattern across ARM SMMUv3, Intel VT-d, &
AMD IOMMU drivers.

[v4]
 - Standardized the pattern across Intel VT-d and AMD IOMMU drivers.
 - Replaced the SMMUv3 ats_prepared gate with a fatal probe-fail logic.
 - Utilized WARN() macros for runtime enablement failures in all drivers.
 - Collected R-b tags from Jason and Sami.

[PATCH v4 1/5] PCI/ATS: Ensure pci_ats_supported() is PF-aware for VFs

[Pranjal Shrivastava]

Update pci_ats_supported() to additionally check the associated PF's
status when called on a VF. This ensures that PF-level quirks and
untrusted status are correctly propagated to VFs, providing a robust
support check that aligns with the kernel's PF-centric ATS configuration
model and is immune to the timing of VF-specific fixups.

[PATCH v4 2/5] PCI/ATS: Validate STU for VFs in pci_prepare_ats()

[Pranjal Shrivastava]

While every PCI Function that implements ATS has an independent ATS
Extended Capability structure with a Read/Write Smallest Translation
Unit (STU) field, the kernel manages SR-IOV ATS by requiring the IOMMU
driver to configure the STU on the Physical Function (PF) before any
any Virtual Functions (VFs) are created.

Currently, pci_prepare_ats() bails out early for VFs, assuming that the
PF has already been correctly prepared. However, this creates a potential
mismatch if a VF is subsequently prepared with a different page shift.

Update pci_prepare_ats() to validate that the requested page shift (ps)
matches the STU already configured in the associated PF. This ensures
early detection of incompatible configurations and maintains the kernel's
policy of consistent STU sizing across all functions associated with a
given SMMU.

[PATCH v4 3/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Fix ATS state tracking

[Pranjal Shrivastava]

The SMMUv3 driver currently has a two-phase commit in its ATS enablement
flow. During arm_smmu_attach_prepare(), it predicts whether ATS will be
enabled using arm_smmu_ats_supported() and accordingly increments
nr_ats_masters and merges ATS invalidations into the domain's invs array.

However, the actual hardware enablement via pci_enable_ats() happens
later in arm_smmu_attach_commit(). If this call to pci_enable_ats fails,
the SMMU driver's ATS state tracking remains polluted, i.e., the driver
tracks ATS enabled on a master that is not actually using ATS. This leads
to an incorrect nr_ats_masters and triggers a warning in the PCI core
during detach:

The issue was exposed under heavy load when running a VFIO-based DMA
map stress test (iova_stress).

Fix this by ensuring that all failable ATS configuration happens
early during device discovery. Update arm_smmu_probe_device() to call
pci_prepare_ats() only if ATS is supported and fail the probe if
pci_prepare_ats() returns an error, ensuring that any master that reaches
the attach phase is guaranteed to have a valid ATS configuration.

Additionally, update arm_smmu_enable_ats() to use the WARN() macro.
Since earlier checks now preclude configuration-related failures,
any failure during hardware enablement is a noisy kernel bug or fatal
hardware error that should be reported with a backtrace while
allowing the driver to continue in a balanced software state.

Update the Intel VT-d driver to handle ATS configuration and enablement
more strictly. Specifically, update the device probe to fail if
pci_prepare_ats() returns an error. This ensures that any ATS-capable
master reaching the attach phase is guaranteed to have a valid config.

Additionally, update iommu_enable_pci_ats() to WARN() if pci_enable_ats
fails. Since earlier checks in the probe phase preclude config-related
failures, any failure during hardware enablement is considered a kernel
bug.

Again, pci_prepare_ats() covers pci_ats_supported(). So, the check
is redundant. Instead, it should check arm_smmu_ats_supported().

By the way, this would conflict into my series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/18bb6f421b3be891caa8f1fb50f3a4d56b52d5be.1779392420.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com/

It would be nicer to have an arm_smmu_master_prepare_ats() so that
both series would have a common ground; mine would be just adding
some additional lines if your series goes in first.

Ack. For the pci_ats_supported.. since we're failing probe if
pci_prepare_ats() fails, the idea was to call prepare only if ATS was
supported [1] i.e. not penalise non-ATS callers of pci_prepare_ats. But
I agree.. maybe a better way would be to factor our pci_ats_supported().

Ahh yes, I was thinking about the conflict to (I'm yet to review the

arm_smmu_master_prepare_ats() for clarity
