yes. PASID cache and context caches are in the IOMMU.

or call it device context cache. actually so far context cache is here
only for completeness purpose. the expected use case is that QEMU traps
guest device context cache flush and call bind_pasid_table.

You are right. That was a mistake. I meant to say "These granularity
levels are specific to a type of"

No, this meant to invalidate all PASID of a given domain ID. I need to
correct the description.
The dilemma here is to map model specific fields into generic list. not
all combinations are legal.

Agreed, I removed global granu to avoid device invalidation beyond
device itself. But I missed some of the fields in
inv_type_granu_map{}.

QI_GRAN_ALL_ALL maps to VT-d spec 6.5.2.4, which invalidates all ext
TLB cache within a domain. It could reuse GRANU_DOMAIN but I was
also trying to match the naming convention in the spec.

Sure. I was thinking page range already implies non-global pages.

I am trying not to mix granu between request w/ PASID and w/o.
DOMAIN_PAGE meant to be for request w/o PASID.

I was thinking the invalidation to be inclusive as we discussed earlier
,last year :).
TLB includes DLTB
PASID cache includes TLB and DTLB. I need to document it better.

great summary. thanks

Mostly match what I intended for VT-d. Just one thing on the PASID
column, all PASID associated with a given domain ID can go either
NG_ALL_PASID (as in your table) or ALL_PASID.

Here is what I plan to change in comments that can reflect what you
have in the table above.
Can I also copy your table in the next version?

enum iommu_inv_granularity {
IOMMU_INV_GRANU_DOMAIN = 1, /* IOTLBs and device context
* cache associated with a
* domain ID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_DEVICE, /* device context cache
* associated with a device ID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_DOMAIN_PAGE, /* IOTLBs associated with
* address range of a
* given domain ID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_ALL_PASID, /* DTLB or IOTLB of all
* PASIDs associated to a
* given domain ID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_PASID_SEL, /* DTLB and PASID cache
* associated to a PASID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_NG_ALL_PASID, /* IOTLBs of non-global
* pages for all PASIDs for a
* given domain ID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_NG_PASID, /* IOTLBs of non-global
* pages for a given PASID
*/

IOMMU_INV_GRANU_PAGE_PASID, /* IOTLBs of selected page
* range within a PASID
*/

right

right, not all combinations are allowed, it is up to each IOMMU driver
to convert and sanitize based on a built-in valid map. e.g. in my vt-d

I can't see any case we are not operating at sub-page size. why would
anyone cache translation for 1 byte, that is too much overhead.

you already have 3-D in your granu table :), this is the same as your
"Y" and "/Y" filed.
I need the PASID_TAGGED flag to differentiate different IOTLB types.
PASID_TAGGED is used only when @pasid is valid, which is implied in the
grnu. E.g. certain granu is only allowed for PASID tagged case.

sounds good. PASID0 is used for request w/o PASID so both GIOVA and SVA
have PASIDs. Will drop.
