My understanding of IOMMUFD is very little, but AFAICT, that means that it’s assumed that each device can only have one stream ID(RID)?
As I can see in patch 17 in arm_smmu_convert_viommu_vdev_id(), it converts the virtual ID to a physical one using master->streams[0].id.
Is that correct or am I missing something?
As I am looking at similar problem for paravirtual IOMMU with pKVM, where the UAPI would be something similar to:
GET_NUM_END_POINTS(dev) => nr_sids
SET_END_POINT_VSID(dev, sid_index, vsid)
Similar to what VFIO does with IRQs.
As a device can have many SIDs.
We don't support multi SID through this interface, at least in this version.
To do multi-sid you have to inform the VM of all the different pSIDs the device has and then setup the vSID/pSID translation to map them all to the HW invalidation logic.
Which is alot more steps, and we have no use case right now. Multi-sid is also not something I expect to see in any modern PCI device, and this is VFIO PCI...
