This patch set includes various fixes for dma-iommu's swiotlb bounce
buffers for untrusted devices.

The min_align_mask issue was found when running fio on an untrusted nvme
device with bs=512. The other issues were found via code inspection, so
I don't have any specific use cases where things were not working, nor
any concrete performance numbers.

There are two issues related to min_align_mask that this patch series
does not attempt to fix. First, it does not address the case where
min_align_mask is larger than the IOVA granule. Doing so requires
changes to IOVA allocation, and is not specific to when swiotlb bounce
buffers are used. This is not a problem in practice today, since the
only driver which uses min_align_mask is nvme, which sets it to 4096.

The second issue this series does not address is the fact that extra
swiotlb slots adjacent to a bounce buffer can be exposed to untrusted
devices whose drivers use min_align_mask. Fixing this requires being
able to allocate padding slots at the beginning of a swiotlb allocation.
This is a rather significant change that I am not comfortable making.
Without being able to handle this, there is also little point to
clearing the padding at the start of such a buffer, since we can only
clear based on (IO_TLB_SIZE - 1) instead of iova_mask.

v7 -> v8:
 - Rebase on v5.15-rc3 and resolve conflicts with restricted dma

v6 -> v7:
 - Remove unsafe attempt to clear padding at start of swiotlb buffer
 - Rewrite commit message for min_align_mask commit to better explain
   the problem it's fixing
 - Rebase on iommu/core
 - Acknowledge unsolved issues in cover letter

v5 -> v6:
 - Remove unnecessary line break
 - Remove redundant config check

v4 -> v5:
 - Fix xen build error
 - Move _swiotlb refactor into its own patch

v3 -> v4:
 - Fold _swiotlb functions into _page functions
 - Add patch to align swiotlb buffer to iovad granule
 - Combine if checks in iommu_dma_sync_sg_* functions

v2 -> v3:
 - Add new patch to address min_align_mask bug
 - Set SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag after syncing in map/unmap
 - Properly call arch_sync_dma_for_cpu in iommu_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu

v1 -> v2:
 - Split fixes into dedicated patches
 - Less invasive changes to fix arch_sync when mapping
 - Leave dev_is_untrusted check for strict iommu

David Stevens (7):
  dma-iommu: fix sync_sg with swiotlb
  dma-iommu: fix arch_sync_dma for map
  dma-iommu: skip extra sync during unmap w/swiotlb
  dma-iommu: fold _swiotlb helpers into callers
  dma-iommu: Check CONFIG_SWIOTLB more broadly
  swiotlb: support aligned swiotlb buffers
  dma-iommu: account for min_align_mask w/swiotlb
