Nested translation is a hardware feature that is supported by many modern IOMMU hardwares. It has two stages of address translations to get access to the physical address. A stage-1 translation table is owned by userspace (e.g. by a guest OS), while a stage-2 is owned by kernel. Any change to a stage-1 translation table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.
Take Intel VT-d as an example, the stage-1 translation table is guest I/O page table. As the below diagram shows, the guest I/O page table pointer in GPA (guest physical address) is passed to host and be used to perform a stage-1 translation. Along with it, a modification to present mappings in the guest I/O page table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.
.-------------. .---------------------------. | vIOMMU | | Guest I/O page table | | | '---------------------------' .----------------/ | PASID Entry |--- PASID cache flush --+ '-------------' | | | V | | I/O page table pointer in GPA '-------------' Guest ------| Shadow |---------------------------|-------- v v v Host .-------------. .------------------------. | pIOMMU | | FS for GIOVA->GPA | | | '------------------------' .----------------/ | | PASID Entry | V (Nested xlate) '----------------.----------------------------------. | | | SS for GPA->HPA, unmanaged domain| | | '----------------------------------' '-------------' Where: - FS = First stage page tables - SS = Second stage page tables <Intel VT-d Nested translation>
In IOMMUFD, all the translation tables are tracked by hw_pagetable (hwpt) and each hwpt is backed by an iommu_domain allocated from an iommu driver. So in this series hw_pagetable and iommu_domain means the same thing if no special note. IOMMUFD has already supported allocating hw_pagetable linked with an IOAS. However, a nesting case requires IOMMUFD to allow allocating hw_pagetable with driver specific parameters and interface to sync stage-1 IOTLB as user owns the stage-1 translation table.
This series is based on the iommu hw info reporting series [1] and nested parent domain allocation [2]. It first extends domain_alloc_user to allocate hwpt with user data by allowing the IOMMUFD internal infrastructure to accept user_data and parent hwpt, relaying the user_data/parent to the iommu core to allocate IOMMU_DOMAIN_NESTED. And it then extends the IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC ioctl to accept user data and a parent hwpt ID.
Note that this series is the part-1 set of a two-part nesting series. It does not include the cache invalidation interface, which will be added in the part 2.
Complete code can be found in [3], it is on top of Joao's dirty page tracking v6 series and fix patches. QEMU could can be found in [4].
At last, this is a team work together with Nicolin Chen, Lu Baolu. Thanks them for the help. ^_^. Look forward to your feedbacks.

Change log:
v6: - Rebase on top of Joao's dirty tracking series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20231024135109.73787-1-joao.m.martins@or... - Rebase on top of the enforce_cache_coherency removal patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/ZTcAhwYjjzqM0A5M@Asurada-Nvidia/ - Add parent and user_data check in iommu driver before the driver actually supports the two input. This can make better bisect support, the change is in patch 02.
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20231020091946.12173-1-yi.l.liu@intel.co... - Split the iommufd nesting series into two parts of alloc_user and invalidation (Jason) - Split IOMMUFD_OBJ_HW_PAGETABLE to IOMMUFD_OBJ_HWPT_PAGING/_NESTED, and do the same with the structures/alloc()/abort()/destroy(). Reworked the selftest accordingly too. (Jason) - Move hwpt/data_type into struct iommu_user_data from standalone op arguments. (Jason) - Rename hwpt_type to be data_type, the HWPT_TYPE to be HWPT_ALLOC_DATA, _TYPE_DEFAULT to be _ALLOC_DATA_NONE (Jason, Kevin) - Rename iommu_copy_user_data() to iommu_copy_struct_from_user() (Kevin) - Add macro to the iommu_copy_struct_from_user() to calculate min_size (Jason) - Fix two bugs spotted by ZhaoYan
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230921075138.124099-1-yi.l.liu@intel.c... - Separate HWPT alloc/destroy/abort functions between user-managed HWPTs and kernel-managed HWPTs - Rework invalidate uAPI to be a multi-request array-based design - Add a struct iommu_user_data_array and a helper for driver to sanitize and copy the entry data from user space invalidation array - Add a patch fixing TEST_LENGTH() in selftest program - Drop IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES patches - Update kdoc and inline comments - Drop the code to add IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI to kernel-managed HWPT in nested translation, this does not change the rule that resv regions should only be added to the kernel-managed HWPT. The IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI stuff will be added in later series as it is needed only by SMMU so far.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230724110406.107212-1-yi.l.liu@intel.c... - Add new uAPI things in alphabetical order - Pass in "enum iommu_hwpt_type hwpt_type" to op->domain_alloc_user for sanity, replacing the previous op->domain_alloc_user_data_len solution - Return ERR_PTR from domain_alloc_user instead of NULL - Only add IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI to kernel-managed HWPT in nested translation (Kevin) - Add IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES to report resv iova ranges to userspace hence userspace is able to exclude the ranges in the stage-1 HWPT (e.g. guest I/O page table). (Kevin) - Add selftest coverage for the new IOMMU_RESV_IOVA_RANGES ioctl - Minor changes per Kevin's inputs
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230511143844.22693-1-yi.l.liu@intel.co... - Add union iommu_domain_user_data to include all user data structures to avoid passing void * in kernel APIs. - Add iommu op to return user data length for user domain allocation - Rename struct iommu_hwpt_alloc::data_type to be hwpt_type - Store the invalidation data length in iommu_domain_ops::cache_invalidate_user_data_len - Convert cache_invalidate_user op to be int instead of void - Remove @data_type in struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate - Remove out_hwpt_type_bitmap in struct iommu_hw_info hence drop patch 08 of v1
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230309080910.607396-1-yi.l.liu@intel.c...
