On qcom msm8998, writing to the last context bank of lpass_q6_smmu
(base address 0x05100000) produces a system freeze & reboot.

Specifically, here:

	qsmmu->bypass_cbndx = smmu->num_context_banks - 1;
	arm_smmu_cb_write(smmu, qsmmu->bypass_cbndx, ARM_SMMU_CB_SCTLR, 0);

and here:

	arm_smmu_write_context_bank(smmu, i);
	arm_smmu_cb_write(smmu, i, ARM_SMMU_CB_FSR, ARM_SMMU_CB_FSR_FAULT);

It is likely that FW reserves the last context bank for its own use,
thus a simple work-around would be: DON'T USE IT in Linux.

How is this Qualcomm specific? Presumably any implementation could do 
this if there's no way to properly partition things. Robin?

Also, this property isn't very flexible. What happens when it is not the 
last bank or more than 1 bank reserved? This should probably be a mask 
instead.

Obviously, there is nothing Qualcomm specific about reserving   
an SMMU context bank for the FW / hypervisor, other than it
appears that qcom is the first to do it; or at least the
LPASS SMMU on qcom msm8998 is the first known SMMU where such
a work-around is required.

What is the correct nomenclature?

Can we just drop the vendor prefix if a property is generic
across vendors? But does it require a subsystem prefix like
"iommu" in order to not clash with generic props in other subsystems?

OK, I'm getting conflicting requests here.

Bjorn has recommended dropping the property altogether:

I'll send a patch series in line with Bjorn's request.

Yes, the Qualcomm-specific aspect is that it's Qualcomm's hypervisor 
which is broken and reporting a larger number in its emulated 
SMMU_IDR1.NUMCB than the number of context banks it's actually willing 
to emulate.

I guess if we *were* to consider a generic property to endorse violating 
the SMMU architecture, then it would logically be vendored to Arm as the 
owner of the SMMU architecture. However I am strongly against that idea, 
not only because I obviously don't want to normalise hypervisors 
emulating non-architectural behaviour which every DT-consuming OS will 
have to understand how to work around, but it's also less than great for 
the user to have a workaround that's not compatible with existing DTBs.

Luckily, in this case it seems straightforward enough to be able to see 
that if we have a "qcom,msm8996-smmu-v2" with 13 context banks then we 
should just treat it as if it has 12 - it's also notable that it only 
reports NUMSMRG=12, so we couldn't use more than that many S1 context 
banks at once anyway.

Thanks,
Robin.

This is what the hypervisor reports:

[    2.550974] arm-smmu 5100000.iommu: probing hardware configuration...
[    2.557309] arm-smmu 5100000.iommu: SMMUv2 with:

[    2.579434] arm-smmu 5100000.iommu:  (IDR0.CTTW overridden by FW configuration)
[    2.585088] arm-smmu 5100000.iommu:  stream matching with 12 register groups

[    2.626225] arm-smmu 5100000.iommu:  Stage-1: 36-bit VA -> 36-bit IPA
[    2.632645] arm-smmu 5100000.iommu:  preserved 0 boot mappings


smmu->num_mapping_groups = 12
smmu->num_context_banks  = 13


Are you saying that

	smmu->num_context_banks > smmu->num_mapping_groups

does not make sense?


Would a well-placed

	if (smmu->num_context_banks > smmu->num_mapping_groups)
		smmu->num_context_banks = smmu->num_mapping_groups;

be a proper work-around?

(Probably in qcom_smmu_cfg_probe() so as to not interfere with other platforms.)


Maybe to limit the side effects even more:

	if (of_device_is_compatible(smmu->dev->of_node, "qcom,msm8998-smmu-v2") &&
		smmu->num_context_banks > smmu->num_mapping_groups))
		smmu->num_context_banks = smmu->num_mapping_groups;


Neither work-around would require changing the binding.

Is either work-around acceptable, Robin?

Ignore num_mapping_groups, they are used to define which streams should
be mapped to which context bank. But there's no relationship between
these numbers.

No, something like this would apply your quirk to other targets (and
specifically it would be wrong, per above).

If we don't want to introduce a more specific compatible for this SMMU
instance, then let's add this to qcom_smmu_cfg_probe():

	/* MSM8998 LPASS SMMU reports 13 context banks, but only 12 are accessible */
 	if (of_device_is_compatible(smmu->dev->of_node, "qcom,msm8998-smmu-v2") && smmu->num_context_banks == 13)
		smmu->num_context_banks = 12;
