KVM maps guest memory in 4K, 2M or 1G blocks, and uses guest_memfd's
max_order to choose. A folio of order N is physically aligned and never
mixes shared and private pages, so the order needs no check. A PFN mode
provider's frames need not be aligned and the provider does not know
which pages are private, yet kvm_gmem_get_pfn() passes its order to KVM
unchanged. KVM can then map a block over the wrong frames, or with one
attribute over shared and private pages.
Define the provider's order as that of the naturally aligned block
around the index, preset to 0. Clamp it to a block size KVM supports,
in which the gfn, the index and the pfn are aligned alike and every
page has the same attribute.
A fault that sized its block just before a revoke or conversion of
another page in the block would not retry, since KVM only retries
faults inside the invalidated range. Make every invalidation of a PFN
mode file cover the 1G-aligned blocks around its range.

Yes, makes sense that private/shared contiguity needs to be taken into
account. I didn't consider this because order-0 is always safe to
map. Thank you!

Yes, we want to make the invalidation range larger, but not the range
being zapped. We can't over-zap for CoCo VMs.
Would it be better to refactor kvm_mmu_unmap_gfn_range() instead of
doing kvm_mmu_invalidate_range_add() twice?

I'll review this function more closely again. I think the mapping order
should fit into how KVM does it. After taking guest_memfd's input on
max_order, KVM then lets these parties possibly tune the max order down:
1. lpage_info contains information about highest order due to memslot
alignment and alignment due to VM-level memory attributes
2. CoCo platform can impose a max order
3. Userspace mappings can impose a max order too.
So I think we should follow the same model:
+ The provider reports the max_order based on it's contiguity
information, which is the actual contiguity of memory and
read-only attributes
+ guest_memfd further reduces max_order due to shared/private contiguity
+ After handing it to KVM, KVM further reduces the max order based on
the above.
I think mappings for all other page tables (userspace and IOMMU) should
also follow this approach.
I guess the kvm_gmem_fault_user_mapping() equivalent of this max_order
tuning is missing from this series. :) I think we should defer order > 0
to a later series though. I think read-only-ness should be part of the
first PFN mode series.

Good point. As far as I can see, kvm_mmu_unmap_gfn_range() is only
kvm_mmu_invalidate_range_add() plus kvm_unmap_gfn_range(), so
guest_memfd could do the two steps itself: add the blocks around the
range, then unmap the exact range. The zap stays exact and the range is
added once. Or am I missing something about kvm_mmu_unmap_gfn_range()
that a refactor would need to keep?

Agreed. guest_memfd should then only reduce the order for shared and
private pages, and drop the gfn alignment and the rounding to a
page-table size, which KVM does. For the provider, "contiguity" would
mean a naturally aligned block of contiguous frames with the same
attributes, the frames aligned to the block too, so a mapping of that
size is valid as is.
One gap: KVM does not cover a memslot whose gfn and guest_memfd offset
are not aligned to each other. On x86, kvm_alloc_memslot_metadata()
disallows large pages when base_gfn and userspace_addr are misaligned,
but nothing compares base_gfn with gmem.pgoff, and kvm_gmem_bind()
takes any page-aligned offset. A gmem.pgoff check next to the
userspace_addr one would keep that in KVM too.
The export lookup in the series already works this way: it reports the
provider's block, reduced for shared and private pages. iommufd maps
PAGE_SIZE IOPTEs in this series, and will pick larger IOPTEs from that
block later.

Right, userspace mappings are PAGE_SIZE for now.
Deferring order > 0 for KVM and userspace is fine with me. I'd like to
keep the order in the export lookup, though: large IOPTEs matter for
device performance, and I'm preparing iommupt changes to split and merge
them in place.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
A PFN mode provider may lend a frame that the guest must not write,
e.g. one shared by several guests, but guest_memfd maps every frame
writable.
Add an attributes output to get_pfn(), with GUEST_MEMFD_PFN_READONLY as
its first bit. KVM then maps such a frame read only and exits to
userspace on a guest write, and the VMM's mapping raises SIGBUS on a
write. A read-only frame cannot back a private page or be populated.
On arm64, the new exit in gmem_abort() also restores the return after a
failed kvm_gmem_get_pfn() that a kvm/next merge dropped.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
A device assigned to a guest must map the guest's shared memory and
lose a page whenever guest_memfd takes it away. iommufd cannot do that:
it pins what it maps, which guest_memfd does not allow, and a device
cannot fault.
Add an export interface. A subsystem attaches to a guest_memfd file,
looks up the frame behind each shared page without taking a reference,
and gets an update() callback when what a lookup returns for a range
may have changed. The old frames stay valid until update() returns, so
a device that never faults can switch each mapping in one step.
update() is called on conversions and memory failure; punch holes, PFN
mode and pages that get memory follow. The functions are exported for
symbol_get(), since KVM may be a module while the consumer is built in.

+ * Mapping guest_memfd files in other subsystems.
+ *
+ * A subsystem that maps guest_memfd pages, such as iommufd, can neither pin
+ * nor fault them. It attaches to the file, looks up the frame behind each
+ * shared page without taking a reference, and guest_memfd calls its update()
+ * whenever what a lookup returns for a range may have changed: conversions and
+ * memory failure. update() makes the consumer's mappings of the range match
+ * what a lookup returns now: a frame, or a hole for a private page or a page
+ * without a frame. It may be called for pages that did not change, and for
+ * ranges that do not follow the blocks that lookups report: the consumer may
+ * then remap whole blocks, also outside the range, e.g. to merge them into
+ * larger mappings. A consumer that can fault may instead only remove its
+ * mappings of the range.
+ *
+ * Until update() returns, the frames it replaces stay valid, so a consumer
+ * may switch each mapping to its new target in one step; once it returns,
+ * the consumer no longer accesses them. update() cannot fail: a consumer
+ * that needs memory to apply one, e.g. to split a large mapping, reserves it
+ * beforehand.
+ *
+ * guest_memfd calls update() with its invalidate lock held, exclusive when
+ * pages convert and shared on memory failure, possibly with a folio of the
+ * file locked; so update() may only call kvm_gmem_export_lookup_pfn(). Under

A punch hole frees the folios it truncates at once, but an export may
still map them, since it holds no reference: a device would then write
into freed memory.
Truncate a folio mode range batch by batch, holding a reference on each
folio until the exports are updated, so that a folio goes back to the
allocator only once no device maps it.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
PFN mode files cannot be attached yet, though a provider's frames are
the memory that most needs a device mapping that follows its revokes.
Allow them. A lookup asks the provider with lookup_pfn_range(), which
allocates nothing, then get_pfn() for the block and its attributes. A
revoke updates the exports before the frames are reclaimed. A punch hole
must remove the frames from the exports before the provider gets them
back, while the provider still backs them: lookups report the range as
holes until then, and the exports are updated again afterwards.

A lookup reports a hole as a single page, so a consumer walks a large
private or unbacked range one page at a time, and cannot map a large
hole with one entry, e.g. to a scratch page.
Report the largest aligned hole around the page, up to the order the
caller asks for. The search checks one half-block at a time, so it
costs about one lookup per page of the hole it finds.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
An export maps only the pages that have memory when it looks them up,
and a device cannot fault in the others, so guest_memfd must call
update() when a page gets memory.
Lookups treat a folio that was never zeroed as a hole. Zero folios in
one helper, under the invalidate lock, from the host fault, KVM's
get_pfn() and fallocate(), which did not zero at all, and update the
exports for each folio zeroed. Mark zeroed folios dirty: lookups hold no
reference, and memory-failure handling evicts clean folios that nothing
references.
In PFN mode, update the block that get_pfn() reports when it fills a
hole, since the provider may back all of it.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
guest_memfd pages, like dma-buf pages, can be taken away from iommufd
whatever references it holds, but the list of (area, domain) pairs to
unmap on a revoke lives in struct iopt_pages_dmabuf.
Move it to struct iopt_pages, rename the iopt_dmabuf_*track* helpers to
iopt_pages_*, and add iopt_pages_tracked() for the page types that need
it, so that other page types can use it. No functional change.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
A VMM that assigns a device to a guest backed by guest_memfd needs the
IOMMU mappings to follow the guest's shared memory. IOMMU_IOAS_MAP_FILE
pins what it maps, which guest_memfd does not allow.
Accept a guest_memfd in IOMMU_IOAS_MAP_FILE through guest_memfd's export
interface: its pages are not pinned, and each update() unmaps the range
and maps what a lookup returns now, read-only frames without write
permission. This is a demonstration: entries are PAGE_SIZE, a device
that touches the range during an update faults, and a range that fails
to map again stays unmapped, with a warning.
Dirty tracking, the no-IOMMU mode, kernel access, splitting an area and
a frame at address 0 are refused, since iommufd could not follow them.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
Tests of guest_memfd mappings cannot know in advance which frame an
IOVA reaches, since a revoke can unmap or replace it, and
IOMMU_TEST_OP_MD_CHECK_MAP only compares a range against a user buffer.
Add IOMMU_TEST_OP_MD_CHECK_MAPPED, which checks that a range of a mock
domain is all mapped or all unmapped, and IOMMU_TEST_OP_MD_IOVA_TO_PHYS,
which returns the physical address behind an IOVA. They hold
domains_rwsem for writing, so that a userspace unmap cannot free a
page-table level during the walk; they are not safe against a
concurrent guest_memfd update or dma-buf revoke, which the selftests do
not do.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
A device cannot fault, so when a PFN mode provider gives frames to pages
that had none, or makes a read-only frame writable, a subsystem that
maps the file must be told. kvm_gmem_revoke() does not fit: it would
zap the guest's and the VMM's mappings and reclaim frames that a guest
may already use.
Add kvm_gmem_restore(), the counterpart to kvm_gmem_revoke() that the
sample provider leaves for users that cannot fault. It only updates the
exports, under the shared invalidate lock.

Totally makes sense that guest_memfd needs a way to actively map pages
into the IOMMU page tables, rather than passively like for userspace
page tables and stage 2 page tables.
When the memory is owned by guest_memfd, on a to-shared conversion,
guest_memfd would do the mapping for IOMMU, which can't handle faults
like Stage 2 or userspace page tables.

I'd drop this paragraph from the commit message, kvm_gmem_revoke() is
the complete opposite and isn't a candidate at all for the goal, which
is to notify importers that a page is now available (and they can map it
in).

2 is definitely required, but why is 1 required?
Between the first .get_pfn() or .lookup_pfn_range() () and
.put_pfn_range() or kvm_gmem_revoke(), the provider should consider the
memory in-use by guest_memfd.
When it's in-use by guest_memfd, then guest_memfd should use --2--> to
map into IOMMU page tables as necessary.
When it's not in-use by guest_memfd, why would the provider force it
into guest_memfd?
If the guest VM knows that the page is now usable (some other
communication channel), it would touch the memory and do a .get_pfn(),
that would be successful this time. Perhaps that's when --2--> needs to
be performed?

The IOMMU never asks, and the CPU may not touch the page before a
device does. A few cases where only the provider knows:
- The provider gives frames back with no guest involved: a page that
arrives during post-copy, a range moved back to the VM, memory given
to an overcommitted VM.
- The guest already gave that IOVA to a device as a DMA buffer. The
device writes it without any CPU access, so there is no .get_pfn()
from a stage-2 fault, and most devices cannot fault.
- A read-only frame becomes writable. KVM finds out on the next write
fault, but a device write to a read-only IOPTE just fails.
kvm_gmem_restore() doesn't push the memory into guest_memfd: guest_memfd
only passes it on to its exports. Stage-2 and userspace mappings stay
lazy, and iommufd looks the range up again and maps it.
I'll make that clear in the kernel-doc and the commit message. Would
that work for you?

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
The sample provider reports every page as writable and of order 0, and
does nothing when a page comes back, so tests cannot exercise read-only
frames, large mappings, or a device mapping that follows a page made
present again.
Add MPS_SET_READONLY, report the largest aligned block of pages in the
same state, and call kvm_gmem_restore() when pages become present or
writable again; making pages read only revokes them.

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
The sample provider fails get_pfn() for an absent page and keeps its
frames on a punch hole, so tests cannot exercise a provider that backs
a hole when it is asked for a frame, one that backs more than the page
asked for, or one that frees the frames that a punch hole gives back.
Add MPS_NEW_FILE_FILL: get_pfn() then backs an absent page with the
whole 2 MiB block around it, and put_pfn_range() makes the pages absent
again.

Can what MPS_NEW_FILE_FILL is meant to illustrate be illustrated with
the ioctl that sets memory present?

From: Fred Griffoul <fgriffo@amazon.co.uk>
Nothing tests that a device mapping of a guest_memfd follows the file.
Add gmem_conversion_iommufd_test. A KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM maps its
guest_memfd into an iommufd mock domain, on native folios, a tmpfs
resource and the sample provider in PFN mode, and the test checks what
the guest, the VMM and the device see after each change: conversions,
allocations, punch holes, memory failure, and the provider's revokes and
restores. It is skipped without CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST, the PFN mode cases
without the sample, and memory failure without CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE.

+ * fallocate() or a first host access allocates, whether the guest_memfd is
+ * mapped before or after, that it loses a page that memory failure poisons,
+ * and that two IOAS mapping one guest_memfd both follow it. The PFN mode
+ * provider then gets its own checks: read-only frames, which the guest and the
+ * VMM cannot write and the device keeps mapped, private frames, read-only
+ * frames as private holes, absent frames made private, the provider taking
+ * back a private page and giving it back, a punch hole, a 2 MiB private
+ * mapping, and a provider that backs a whole 2 MiB block when one page of it
+ * is asked for and frees it on a punch hole.
+ *
+ * Requires CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST; the PFN mode scenarios also require
+ * samples/kvm/mem_provider_sample.ko.
