[Qemu-devel] [RFC v1 18/18] intel_iommu: do not passdown pasid bind for PASID #0

[Liu Yi L]

RID_PASID field was introduced in VT-d 3.0 spec, it is used for DMA
requests w/o PASID in scalable mode VT-d. It is also known as IOVA.
And in VT-d 3.1 spec, there is further definition on it:

"Implementations not supporting RID_PASID capability (ECAP_REG.RPS is
0b), use a PASID value of 0 to perform address translation for requests
without PASID."

This patch adds a check on the PASIDs which are going to be bound to
device. For PASID #0, no need to passdown pasid binding since PASID #0
is used as RID_PASID for requests without pasid. Reason is current Intel
vIOMMU supports guest IOVA by shadowing guest 2nd level page table.
However, in future, if guest OS uses 1st level page table to store IOVA
mappings, thus guest IOVA support will also be done via nested translation
in host side. Then vIOMMU could passdown the pasid binding for PASID #0
to host with a special PASID value. A special PASID value is to indicate
host to bind the guest page table to a proper PASID. e.g PASID value from
RID_PASID field for PF/VF or default PASID for ADI (Assignable Device
Interface in Scalable IOV solution).
