VFIO is designed to be used via ioctls on file descriptors
returned by VFIO.
However in some situations support for an external user is required.
The first user is KVM on PPC64 (SPAPR TCE protocol) which is going to
use the existing VFIO groups for exclusive access in real/virtual mode
on a host to avoid passing map/unmap requests to the user space which
would made things pretty slow.
The protocol includes:
1. do normal VFIO init operation:
- opening a new container;
- attaching group(s) to it;
- setting an IOMMU driver for a container.
When IOMMU is set for a container, all groups in it are
considered ready to use by an external user.
2. User space passes a group fd to an external user.
The external user calls vfio_group_get_external_user()
to verify that:
- the group is initialized;
- IOMMU is set for it.
If both checks passed, vfio_group_get_external_user()
increments the container user counter to prevent
the VFIO group from disposal before KVM exits.
3. The external user calls vfio_external_user_iommu_id()
to know an IOMMU ID. PPC64 KVM uses it to link logical bus
number (LIOBN) with IOMMU ID.
4. When the external KVM finishes, it calls
vfio_group_put_external_user() to release the VFIO group.
This call decrements the container user counter.
Everything gets released.
The "vfio: Limit group opens" patch is also required for the consistency.

Remove debugging WARN_ON if we get a spurious notify for a group that
no longer exists. No reports of anyone hitting this, but it would
likely be a race and not a bug if they did.

BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE triggers IOMMU drivers to remove devices from
their iommu group, but there's really nothing we can do about it at
this point. If the device is in use, then the vfio sub-driver will
block the device_del from completing until it's released. If the
device is not in use or not owned by a vfio sub-driver, then we
really don't care that it's being removed.
The current code can be triggered just by unloading an sr-iov driver
(ex. igb) while the VFs are attached to vfio-pci because it makes an
incorrect assumption about the ordering of driver remove callbacks
vs the DEL_DEVICE notification.

vfio_group_fops_open attempts to limit concurrent sessions by
disallowing opens once group->container is set. This really doesn't
do what we want and allow for inconsistent behavior, for instance a
group can be opened twice, then a container set giving the user two
file descriptors to the group. But then it won't allow more to be
opened. There's not much reason to have the group opened multiple
times since most access is through devices or the container, so
complete what the original code intended and only allow a single
instance.

VFIO implements platform independent stuff such as
a PCI driver, BAR access (via read/write on a file descriptor
or direct mapping when possible) and IRQ signaling.
The platform dependent part includes IOMMU initialization
and handling. This implements an IOMMU driver for VFIO
which does mapping/unmapping pages for the guest IO and
provides information about DMA window (required by a POWER
guest).

Minor 0 is the VFIO container device (/dev/vfio/vfio). On it's own
the container does not provide a user with any privileged access. It
only supports API version check and extension check ioctls. Only by
attaching a VFIO group to the container does it gain any access. Set
the mode of the container to allow access.

pcieport does nice things like manage AER and we know it doesn't do
DMA or expose any user accessible devices on the host. It also keeps
the Memory, I/O, and Busmaster bits enabled, which is pretty handy
when trying to use anyting below it. Devices owned by pcieport cannot
be given to users via vfio, but we can tolerate them not being owned
by vfio-pci.

vfio_dev_present is meant to give us a wait_event callback so that we
can block removing a device from vfio until it becomes unused. The
root of this check depends on being able to get the iommu group from
the device. Unfortunately if the BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE notifier has
fired then the device-group reference is no longer searchable and we
fail the lookup.
We don't need to go to such extents for this though. We have a
reference to the device, from which we can acquire a reference to the
group. We can then use the group reference to search for the device
and properly block removal.

we really need to make sure that dropping the last reference happens
under the group->device_lock; otherwise a loop (under device_lock)
might find vfio_device instance that is being freed right now, has
already dropped the last reference and waits on device_lock to exclude
the sucker from the list.

This VFIO IOMMU backend is designed primarily for AMD-Vi and Intel
VT-d hardware, but is potentially usable by anything supporting
similar mapping functionality. We arbitrarily call this a Type1
backend for lack of a better name. This backend has no IOVA
or host memory mapping restrictions for the user and is optimized
for relatively static mappings. Mapped areas are pinned into system
memory.

VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's
intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
(in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
IOMMU).
New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to
original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO
users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
choice.
Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description
and usage example.
