Subject: [PATCH v7 08/23] vfio/iommufd: Force creating nesting parent HWPT
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 04:43:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024084349.102322-9-zhenzhong.duan@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251024084349.102322-1-zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>
Call pci_device_get_viommu_flags() to get if vIOMMU supports
VIOMMU_FLAG_WANT_NESTING_PARENT.
If yes, create a nesting parent HWPT and add it to the container's hwpt_list,
letting this parent HWPT cover the entire second stage mappings (GPA=>HPA).
This allows a VFIO passthrough device to directly attach to this default HWPT
and then to use the system address space and its listener.
Introduce a vfio_device_get_viommu_flags_want_nesting() helper to facilitate
this implementation.
It is safe to do so because a vIOMMU will be able to fail in set_iommu_device()
call, if something else related to the VFIO device or vIOMMU isn't compatible.
