Subject: [PATCH v6 08/12] fork: Clear PASID for new mm

When a new mm is created, its PASID should be cleared, i.e. the PASID is
initialized to its init state 0 on both ARM and X86.

I just noticed this patch was dropped in v7, and am wondering whether we
could still upstream it. Does x86 need a child with a new address space
(!CLONE_VM) to inherit the PASID of the parent? That doesn't make much
sense with regard to IOMMU structures - same PASID indexing multiple PGDs?

Currently iommu_sva_alloc_pasid() assumes mm->pasid is always initialized
to 0 and fails on forked tasks. I'm trying to figure out how to fix this.
Could we clear the pasid on fork or does it break the x86 model?

Thanks,
Jean

You are right: x86 should clear mm->pasid when a new mm is created.
This patch somehow is losted:(

x86 calls ioasid_alloc() instead of iommu_sva_alloc_pasid(). So
functionality is not a problem without this patch on x86. But I think
we do need to have this patch in the kernel because PASID is per addr
space and two addr spaces shouldn't have the same PASID.

Who will accept this patch?

Thanks.

We should consolidate at some point, there is no need to store pasid in two
places.

> functionality is not a problem without this patch on x86. But I think
I feel the reason that x86 doesn't care is that mm->pasid is not used
unless bind_mm is called. For the fork children even mm->pasid is non-zero,
it has no effect since it is not loaded onto MSRs.
Perhaps you could also add a check or WARN_ON(!mm->pasid) in load_pasid()?

Agreed.

I think vt-d also maintains the global_svm_list, that tells whether a
PASID is already allocated for the mm. The SMMU driver relies only on
iommu_sva_alloc_pasid() for this.

It's not clear from get_maintainers.pl, but I guess it should go via
linux-mm. Since the list wasn't cc'd on the original patch, I resent it.
