This is struggling because it is trying too hard to not have the driver allocate the viommu, and I think we should just go ahead and do that. Store the vmid, today copied from the nesting parent in the vmid private struct. No need for iommufd_viommu_to_parent_domain(), just rework the APIs to pass the vmid down not a domain.
OK. When I designed all this stuff, we still haven't made mind about sharing the s2 domain, i.e. moving the VMID, which might need a couple of more patches to achieve.
Yes, many more patches, and don't try to do it now.. But we can copy the vmid from the s2 and place it in the viommu struct during allocation time.
does it assume that a viommu object cannot span multiple physical IOMMUs so there is only one vmid per viommu?
Yes, the viommu is not intended to cross physical iommus, it is intended to contain objects, like invalidation queues, that are tied to single piommus only.
If someone does want to make vIOMMU that unifies multiple pIOMMUS, and they have the feature set that would make that possible, then they will need multiple IOMMUFD VFIOMMU objects and will have to divide up the nested domains appropriately.
