Subject: [PATCH v5 6/9] intel_iommu: Fix unmap_bitmap failure with legacy VFIO backend
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 23:20:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106042027.856594-7-zhenzhong.duan@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251106042027.856594-1-zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>
If a VFIO device in guest switches from IOMMU domain to block domain,
vtd_address_space_unmap() is called to unmap whole address space.
If that happens during migration, migration fails with legacy VFIO
backend as below:
Status: failed (vfio_container_dma_unmap(0x561bbbd92d90, 0x100000000000, 0x100000000000) = -7 (Argument list too long))
Because legacy VFIO limits maximum bitmap size to 256MB which maps to 8TB on
4K page system, when 16TB sized UNMAP notification is sent, unmap_bitmap
ioctl fails. Normally such large UNMAP notification come from IOVA range
rather than system memory.
Apart from that, vtd_address_space_unmap() sends UNMAP notification with
translated_addr = 0, because there is no valid translated_addr for unmapping
a whole iommu memory region. This breaks dirty tracking no matter which VFIO
backend is used.
Fix them all by iterating over DMAMap list to unmap each range with active
mapping when migration is active. If migration is not active, unmapping the
whole address space in one go is optimal.
