[PATCH] powernv: fix VFIO support with PHB3

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

I have recently found out that no iommu_groups could be found under
/sys/ on a P8. That prevents PCI passthrough from working.

During my investigation, I found out there seems to be a missing
iommu_register_group for PHB3. The following patch seems to fix the
problem. After applying it, I see iommu_groups under
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/, and can also bind vfio-pci to an adapter,
which gives me a device at /dev/vfio/.

This does not seem absolutely right - normally set_iommu_table_base() is
replaced with set_iommu_table_base_and_group() or you will not see some
devices in a group and this may make VFIO unhappy.

But - if every single device gets assigned to some group, then we can push
this to Frobisher and let people test in on power8.

Alexey,

Your patch "[PATCH v9] PPC: POWERNV: move iommu_add_device earlier" is
not upstream yet. It calls set_iommu_table_base_and_group properly.
However, without calling iommu_register_group, there is no group to add
the device to.

Compare to pnv_pci_ioda_setup_dma_pe which calls iommu_register_group
too. My patch fixes this discrepancy between IODA and IODA2.

Regards.
Cascardo.

This is now applied on top of benh's tree, branch next.

Alexey, is this now OK for you?

Thanks.
Cascardo.
