I'd instinctively assume that a remote processor already has its own memory, and that a communication channel doesn't somehow go directly through an IOMMU, so that "basic requirement" seems like a pretty big assumption. > Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> > --- > drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c | 5 +++++ > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c > index e6920d32ac9e..9b63489af15c 100644 > --- a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c > +++ b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c > @@ -53,6 +53,7 @@ > #include <linux/spinlock.h> > > #include <linux/amba/bus.h> > +#include <linux/rpmsg.h> > > #include "io-pgtable.h" > #include "arm-smmu-regs.h" > @@ -2168,6 +2169,10 @@ static void arm_smmu_bus_init(void) > bus_set_iommu(&pci_bus_type, &arm_smmu_ops); > } > #endif > +#ifdef CONFIG_RPMSG Ah, so this will at least build OK with RPMSG=m, but I doubt it does what you want it to in that case.

The need here is for drivers on top of the rpmsg_bus, implementing some application-level protocol that requires indirection buffers; e.g. to achieve zero copy of audio or image buffers that the remote processor is expected to operate on. In this case the device sitting on top of the rpmsg bus will have to map the buffer to the appropriate context and can then send application specific control requests referencing this mapping. As different parts of the firmware might operate in different contexts it's not feasible to utilize the parent's (the rpmsg_bus) context for these indirection buffers. >> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> >> --- >> drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c | 5 +++++ >> 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c >> index e6920d32ac9e..9b63489af15c 100644 >> --- a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c >> +++ b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c >> @@ -53,6 +53,7 @@ >> #include <linux/spinlock.h> >> #include <linux/amba/bus.h> >> +#include <linux/rpmsg.h> >> #include "io-pgtable.h" >> #include "arm-smmu-regs.h" >> @@ -2168,6 +2169,10 @@ static void arm_smmu_bus_init(void) >> bus_set_iommu(&pci_bus_type, &arm_smmu_ops); >> } >> #endif >> +#ifdef CONFIG_RPMSG > > > Ah, so this will at least build OK with RPMSG=m, but I doubt it does what > you want it to in that case. > Things have been refactored but the core has remained tristate, causing extra head aches in various areas. I think it's very reasonable to review the rpmsg config options and make CONFIG_RPMSG bool. So with the addition of making CONFIG_RPMSG bool the patch has my Acked-by. That said I'm generally concerned about the first probed iommu implementation assigning itself as the sole iommu implementation for all busses, but I guess we haven't yet hit the point where there are different iommu implementations in a single SoC?

Right, but that's more or less what I was getting at - rpmsg can be used as a means to signal some DMA master device to start doing a thing, but that thing itself is unrelated to rpmsg, and it by no means implies that everything which rpmsg can talk to is always capable of system-wide DMA. It's no different if that communication channel is a hardware mailbox or an I2C/SPI/USB/etc. link, rather than virtio; we wouldn't automatically consider devices on the other end of those to be directly connected to an IOMMU either. IOMMU and DMA operations are highly dependent on the physical hardware topology, which is why I really don't like trying to shoehorn them into software constructs without modelling the actual hardware reasonably accurately. For instance it's not unheard of for remote processors in a SoC to see a different physical memory map from the main application processors - how would rpmsg try to describe that? What even is the address space of the rpmsg "bus"? > As different parts of the firmware might operate in different contexts > it's not feasible to utilize the parent's (the rpmsg_bus) context for > these indirection buffers. Indeed, and I maintain that that wouldn't be the right thing to do anyway. As before, I think the most accurate way to model the situation with the tools we have available is to have the actual hardware function represented by a platform device, which is associated with a corresponding rpmsg endpoint. Then the driver can manage communication in the rpmsg context, and physical DMA setup in the 'real' hardware context, and everything looks sane without questionable abstraction breakage. Since this looked to be more or less what is actually implemented anyway, it doesn't seem all that hard to refine; if there are multiple DMA master functions identified distinctly to the IOMMU, then they could either be represented as separate platform devices with explicit IOMMU specifiers, or you could model the actual DSP subsystem hardware as its own bus-like arrangement with an iommu-map arrangement translating function identifiers to IOMMU identifiers. What I don't like is forcing IOMMU drivers to pretend that some data in a shared memory buffer is itself directly capable of generating transactions on the interconnect. If other 'indirect' bus abstractions like CoreSight can get this right, I don't see why rpmsg deserves to be special. >>> Signed-off-by: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org> >>> --- >>> drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c | 5 +++++ >>> 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) >>> >>> diff --git a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c >>> index e6920d32ac9e..9b63489af15c 100644 >>> --- a/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c >>> +++ b/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c >>> @@ -53,6 +53,7 @@ >>> #include <linux/spinlock.h> >>> #include <linux/amba/bus.h> >>> +#include <linux/rpmsg.h> >>> #include "io-pgtable.h" >>> #include "arm-smmu-regs.h" >>> @@ -2168,6 +2169,10 @@ static void arm_smmu_bus_init(void) >>> bus_set_iommu(&pci_bus_type, &arm_smmu_ops); >>> } >>> #endif >>> +#ifdef CONFIG_RPMSG >> >> >> Ah, so this will at least build OK with RPMSG=m, but I doubt it does what >> you want it to in that case. >> > > Things have been refactored but the core has remained tristate, > causing extra head aches in various areas.

As it happens I do know of one such SoC already - Rockchip RK3288 seems to have an undocumented Arm SMMU alongside all the rockchip-iommu instances, but it's not used by Linux (and I have no idea what it was intended for; I just went and poked the intriguing "peripheral MMU" region of the memory map and found what looks an awful lot like an Arm MMU-400). More realistically, I also know of folks using the Arm Juno dev board with an MMU-600 in the add-on FPGA tile, which would have that driver-probe-order fight with the MMU-401 instances in the SoC, but I figure they were either using an older firmware which didn't enable the latter or just got lucky with not having the SMMUv2 driver enabled. But yes, the per-bus ops thing is awful and I've been complaining about it for years now. Since iommu_fwspec we at least have the foundations for per-device ops in place now, but as is often the case, getting 80% of the way there is simple[1], whilst the last 20% (like replacing iommu_domain_alloc(), and where to call iommu_{add,remove}_device() from) is really hard.
