52f528583b iommufd: Add additional invariant assertions
These are on performance paths so we protect them using the
CONFIG_IOMMUFD_TEST to not take a hit during normal operation.

These are useful when running the test suite and syzkaller to find data
structure inconsistencies early.

51fe6141f0 iommufd: Data structure to provide IOVA to PFN mapping
This is the remainder of the IOAS data structure. Provide an object called
an io_pagetable that is composed of iopt_areas pointing at iopt_pages,
along with a list of iommu_domains that mirror the IOVA to PFN map.

At the top this is a simple interval tree of iopt_areas indicating the map
of IOVA to iopt_pages. An xarray keeps track of a list of domains. Based
on the attached domains there is a minimum alignment for areas (which may
be smaller than PAGE_SIZE), an interval tree of reserved IOVA that can't
be mapped and an IOVA of allowed IOVA that can always be mappable.

The concept of an 'access' refers to something like a VFIO mdev that is
accessing the IOVA and using a 'struct page *' for CPU based access.

Externally an API is provided that matches the requirements of the IOCTL
interface for map/unmap and domain attachment.

The API provides a 'copy' primitive to establish a new IOVA map in a
different IOAS from an existing mapping by re-using the iopt_pages. This
is the basic mechanism to provide single pinning.

This is designed to support a pre-registration flow where userspace would
setup an dummy IOAS with no domains, map in memory and then establish an
access to pin all PFNs into the xarray.

Copy can then be used to create new IOVA mappings in a different IOAS,
with iommu_domains attached. Upon copy the PFNs will be read out of the
xarray and mapped into the iommu_domains, avoiding any pin_user_pages()
overheads.

8d160cd4d5 iommufd: Algorithms for PFN storage
The iopt_pages which represents a logical linear list of full PFNs held in
different storage tiers. Each area points to a slice of exactly one
iopt_pages, and each iopt_pages can have multiple areas and accesses.

The three storage tiers are managed to meet these objectives:

 - If no iommu_domain or in-kerenel access exists then minimal memory
   should be consumed by iomufd
 - If a page has been pinned then an iopt_pages will not pin it again
 - If an in-kernel access exists then the xarray must provide the backing
   storage to avoid allocations on domain removals
 - Otherwise any iommu_domain will be used for storage

In a common configuration with only an iommu_domain the iopt_pages does
not allocate significant memory itself.

The external interface for pages has several logical operations:

  iopt_area_fill_domain() will load the PFNs from storage into a single
  domain. This is used when attaching a new domain to an existing IOAS.

  iopt_area_fill_domains() will load the PFNs from storage into multiple
  domains. This is used when creating a new IOVA map in an existing IOAS

  iopt_pages_add_access() creates an iopt_pages_access that tracks an
  in-kernel access of PFNs. This is some external driver that might be
  accessing the IOVA using the CPU, or programming PFNs with the DMA
  API. ie a VFIO mdev.

  iopt_pages_rw_access() directly perform a memcpy on the PFNs, without
  the overhead of iopt_pages_add_access()

  iopt_pages_fill_xarray() will load PFNs into the xarray and return a
  'struct page *' array. It is used by iopt_pages_access's to extract PFNs
  for in-kernel use. iopt_pages_fill_from_xarray() is a fast path when it
  is known the xarray is already filled.

As an iopt_pages can be referred to in slices by many areas and accesses
it uses interval trees to keep track of which storage tiers currently hold
the PFNs. On a page-by-page basis any request for a PFN will be satisfied
from one of the storage tiers and the PFN copied to target domain/array.

Unfill actions are similar, on a page by page basis domains are unmapped,
xarray entries freed or struct pages fully put back.

Significant complexity is required to fully optimize all of these data
motions. The implementation calculates the largest consecutive range of
same-storage indexes and operates in blocks. The accumulation of PFNs
always generates the largest contiguous PFN range possible to optimize and
this gathering can cross storage tier boundaries. For cases like 'fill
domains' care is taken to avoid duplicated work and PFNs are read once and
pushed into all domains.

The map/unmap interaction with the iommu_domain always works in contiguous
PFN blocks. The implementation does not require or benefit from any
split/merge optimization in the iommu_domain driver.

This design suggests several possible improvements in the IOMMU API that
would greatly help performance, particularly a way for the driver to map
and read the pfns lists instead of working with one driver call per page
to read, and one driver call per contiguous range to store.

f394576eb1 iommufd: PFN handling for iopt_pages
The top of the data structure provides an IO Address Space (IOAS) that is
similar to a VFIO container. The IOAS allows map/unmap of memory into
ranges of IOVA called iopt_areas. Multiple IOMMU domains (IO page tables)
and in-kernel accesses (like VFIO mdevs) can be attached to the IOAS to
access the PFNs that those IOVA areas cover.

The IO Address Space (IOAS) datastructure is composed of:
 - struct io_pagetable holding the IOVA map
 - struct iopt_areas representing populated portions of IOVA
 - struct iopt_pages representing the storage of PFNs
 - struct iommu_domain representing each IO page table in the system IOMMU
 - struct iopt_pages_access representing in-kernel accesses of PFNs (ie
   VFIO mdevs)
 - struct xarray pinned_pfns holding a list of pages pinned by in-kernel
   accesses

This patch introduces the lowest part of the datastructure - the movement
of PFNs in a tiered storage scheme:
 1) iopt_pages::pinned_pfns xarray
 2) Multiple iommu_domains
 3) The origin of the PFNs, i.e. the userspace pointer

PFN have to be copied between all combinations of tiers, depending on the
configuration.

The interface is an iterator called a 'pfn_reader' which determines which
tier each PFN is stored and loads it into a list of PFNs held in a struct
pfn_batch.

Each step of the iterator will fill up the pfn_batch, then the caller can
use the pfn_batch to send the PFNs to the required destination. Repeating
this loop will read all the PFNs in an IOVA range.

The pfn_reader and pfn_batch also keep track of the pinned page accounting.

While PFNs are always stored and accessed as full PAGE_SIZE units the
iommu_domain tier can store with a sub-page offset/length to support
IOMMUs with a smaller IOPTE size than PAGE_SIZE.
