From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>

This extends iommu core to manage security context for passthrough
devices. Please bear a long explanation for how we reach this design
instead of managing it solely in iommufd like what vfio does today.

Devices which cannot be isolated from each other are organized into an
iommu group. When a device is assigned to the user space, the entire
group must be put in a security context so that user-initiated DMAs via
the assigned device cannot harm the rest of the system. No user access
should be granted on a device before the security context is established
for the group which the device belongs to.

Managing the security context must meet below criteria:

1) The group is viable for user-initiated DMAs. This implies that the
devices in the group must be either bound to a device-passthrough
framework, or driver-less, or bound to a driver which is known safe
(not do DMA).

2) The security context should only allow DMA to the user's memory and
devices in this group;

3) After the security context is established for the group, the group
viability must be continuously monitored before the user relinquishes
all devices belonging to the group. The viability might be broken e.g.
when a driver-less device is later bound to a driver which does DMA.

4) The security context should not be destroyed before user access
permission is withdrawn.

Existing vfio introduces explicit container/group semantics in its uAPI
to meet above requirements. A single security context (iommu domain)
is created per container. Attaching group to container moves the entire
group into the associated security context, and vice versa. The user can
open the device only after group attach. A group can be detached only
after all devices in the group are closed. Group viability is monitored
by listening to iommu group events.

Unlike vfio, iommufd adopts a device-centric design with all group
logistics hidden behind the fd. Binding a device to iommufd serves
as the contract to get security context established (and vice versa
for unbinding). One additional requirement in iommufd is to manage the
switch between multiple security contexts due to decoupled bind/attach:

1) Open a device in "/dev/vfio/devices" with user access blocked;

2) Bind the device to an iommufd with an initial security context
(an empty iommu domain which blocks dma) established for its
group, with user access unblocked;

3) Attach the device to a user-specified ioasid (shared by all devices
attached to this ioasid). Before attaching, the device should be first
detached from the initial context;

4) Detach the device from the ioasid and switch it back to the initial
security context;

5) Unbind the device from the iommufd, back to access blocked state and
move its group out of the initial security context if it's the last
unbound device in the group;

(multiple attach/detach could happen between 2 and 5).

However existing iommu core has problem with above transition. Detach
in step 3/4 makes the device/group re-attached to the default domain
automatically, which opens the door for user-initiated DMAs to attack
the rest of the system. The existing vfio doesn't have this problem as
it combines 2/3 in one step (so does 4/5).

Fixing this problem requires the iommu core to also participate in the
security context management. Following this direction we also move group
viability check into the iommu core, which allows iommufd to stay fully
device-centric w/o keeping any group knowledge (combining with the
extension to iommu_at[de]tach_device() in a latter patch).

Basically two new interfaces are provided:

int iommu_device_init_user_dma(struct device *dev,
unsigned long owner);
void iommu_device_exit_user_dma(struct device *dev);

iommufd calls them respectively when handling device binding/unbinding
requests.

The init_user_dma() for the 1st device in a group marks the entire group
for user-dma and establishes the initial security context (dma blocked)
according to aforementioned criteria. As long as the group is marked for
user-dma, auto-reattaching to default domain is disabled. Instead, upon
detaching the group is moved back to the initial security context.

The caller also provides an owner id to mark the ownership so inadvertent
attempt from another caller on the same device can be captured. In this
RFC iommufd will use the fd context pointer as the owner id.

The exit_user_dma() for the last device in the group clears the user-dma
mark and moves the group back to the default domain.
