This is a reverse search v.s. iommufd_viommu_find_dev, as drivers may want to convert a struct device pointer (physical) to its virtual device ID for an event injection to the user space VM.
Again, this avoids exposing more core structures to the drivers, than the iommufd_viommu alone.

This series overall looks good to me. But I have a question that might be irrelevant to this series itself.
The iommufd provides both IOMMUFD_OBJ_DEVICE and IOMMUFD_OBJ_VDEVICE objects. What is the essential difference between these two from userspace's perspective?
A quick answer is an IOMMUFD_OBJ_DEVICE being a host physical device and an IOMMUFD_OBJ_VDEVICE being an IOMMUFD_OBJ_DEVICE related to IOMMUFD_OBJ_VIOMMU. Two of them can be seen in two different layers. May refer to this graph: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/ Documentation/userspace-api/iommufd.rst?h=v6.13-rc3#n150
And, which object ID should the IOMMU device driver provide when reporting other events in the future?
Currently, the IOMMUFD uAPI reports IOMMUFD_OBJ_DEVICE in the page fault message, and IOMMUFD_OBJ_VDEVICE (if I understand it correctly) in the vIRQ message. It will be more future-proof if this could be defined clearly.
A vIRQ is actually reported per-vIOMMU in this design. Although in the this series the SMMU driver seems to report a per-device vIRQ, it internally converts the vDEVICE to a virtual device ID and packs the virtual device ID into a per-vIOMMU event:
+/**
- struct iommu_virq_arm_smmuv3 - ARM SMMUv3 Virtual IRQ
(IOMMU_VIRQ_TYPE_ARM_SMMUV3)
- @evt: 256-bit ARM SMMUv3 Event record, little-endian.
(Refer to "7.3 Event records" in SMMUv3 HW Spec)
- StreamID field reports a virtual device ID. To receive a virtual IRQ for a
- device, a vDEVICE must be allocated via IOMMU_VDEVICE_ALLOC.
- */
+struct iommu_virq_arm_smmuv3 {
- __aligned_le64 evt[4]; };
Thanks for the explanation. Maybe I am a bit over-considering here.
Initially, my understanding is to report a virtual device ID when the object originates from a vIOMMU, and an iommufd device ID otherwise.
However, considering page fault scenarios, which are self-contained but linked to a hardware page table (hwpt), introduces ambiguity. Hwpt can be created with or without a vIOMMU. This raises the question: should the page fault message always report the iommufd device ID, or should the reporting depend on whether the hwpt was created from a vIOMMU?
Thanks, baolu
