Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] Add page alignment check in Intel IOMMU.

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan <[email protected]>

As per Intel vt-d specification, Rev 3.0 (section 7.5.1.1, title
"Page Request Descriptor"), Intel IOMMU page request descriptor
only uses bits[63:12] of the page address. Hence its required to
enforce that the device will only send page request with
page-aligned address. So, this patch set adds support to verify
whether the device uses page aligned address before enabling the
ATS service in Intel IOMMU driver.

Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan (2):
PCI: ATS: Add function to check ATS page aligned request status.
iommu/vt-d: Enable ATS only if the device uses page aligned address.

Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] iommu/vt-d: Enable ATS only if the device uses page aligned address.

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan <[email protected]>

As per Intel vt-d specification, Rev 3.0 (section 7.5.1.1, title "Page
Request Descriptor"), Intel IOMMU page request descriptor only uses
bits[63:12] of the page address. Hence Intel IOMMU driver would only
permit devices that advertise they would only send page aligned requests
to participate in ATS service.

Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] PCI: ATS: Add function to check ATS page aligned request status.

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan <[email protected]>

Add a new function to return the status of ATS page aligned request
bit in ATS capability register. This function will be used by
drivers like IOMMU, if it is required to enforce page-aligned
requests in ATS.

Hi Kuppuswamy,

Previous changes to ats.c used subject lines starting with just
"PCI:".

I think it does make sense to include "ATS", but please do it in
the way we do it for other PCI features, e.g.,

PCI/ATS: Add pci_ats_page_aligned() interface

"return the Page Aligned Request bit in the ATS Capability Register"

This is just to make the terminology match the PCIe spec exactly so
it's easier to look up.

This is wrong because it *always* returns "true", regardless of the
value of the ATS Capability register.

I would prefer this:

#define PCI_ATS_CAP_PAGE_ALIGNED 0x0020

and then test it like this:

if (cap & PCI_ATS_CAP_PAGE_ALIGNED)
return 1;
return 0;

If I remember this right, aligned request is only supported on ATS v1.1
but not supported on v1.0.

Can you please check the spec?

There is no version field in ATS v1.0 spec. Also, If I follow the
history log in PCI spec, I think ATS if first added at v1.2. Please
correct me if I am wrong.

v1.2 was incorporated into PCIe spec at that time. However, the ATS spec
is old and there could be some HW that could claim to be ATS compatible.
I know AMD GPUs declare ATS capability.

See this ECN

https://composter.com.ua/documents/ats_r1.1_26Jan09.pdf

You need to validate the version field from ATS capability header to be
1 before reading this register.

It seems rather odd we have to check for ATS version.

I always assumed unspecified bits (Reserved) must be 0. We only check
this if ATS is enabled, and this particular bit wasn't given away for another
feature.

Is it really required to check for ATS version before consuming this?

If the version check is required then, it needs to be added before
reading "Invalidate Queue Depth" value as well.

Reading again, it looks like version check is not necessary since it
is implied by the presence of this bit per this paragraph.

Page Aligned Request – If Set, indicates the Untranslated Address is
always aligned to a 4096 byte boundary. Setting this bit is
recommended. This bit permits software to distinguish between
implementations compatible with earlier version of this specification
that permitted a requester to supply anything in bits [11:2].
