So far it's assumed possible to map the guest RAM 1:1 to the bus, which works with a small number of devices. SRIOV changes it as the user can configure hundreds VFs and since phyp preallocates TCEs and does not allow IOMMU pages bigger than 64K, it has to limit the number of TCEs per a PE to limit waste of physical pages.
As of today, if the assumed direct mapping is not possible, DDW creation is skipped and the default DMA window "ibm,dma-window" is used instead. Using the DDW instead of the default DMA window may allow to expand the amount of memory that can be DMA-mapped, given the number of pages (TCEs) may stay the same (or increase) and the default DMA window offers only 4k-pages while DDW may offer larger pages (4k, 64k, 16M ...). Patch #1 replaces hard-coded 4K page size with a variable containing the correct page size for the window. Patch #2 introduces iommu_table_in_use(), and replace manual bit-field checking where it's used. It will be used for aborting enable_ddw() if there is any current iommu allocation and we are trying single window indirect mapping. Patch #3 introduces iommu_pseries_alloc_table() that will be helpful when indirect mapping needs to replace the iommu_table. Patch #4 adds helpers for adding DDWs in the list. Patch #5 refactors enable_ddw() so it returns if direct mapping is possible, instead of DMA offset. It helps for next patches on indirect DMA mapping and also allows DMA windows starting at 0x00. Patch #6 bring new helper to simplify enable_ddw(), allowing some reorganization for introducing indirect mapping DDW. Patch #7 adds new helper _iommu_table_setparms() and use it in other *setparams*() to fill iommu_table. It will also be used for creating a new iommu_table for indirect mapping. Patch #8 updates remove_dma_window() to accept different property names, so we can introduce a new property for indirect mapping. Patch #9 extracts find_existing_ddw_windows() into find_existing_ddw_windows_named(), and calls it by it's property name. This will be useful when the property for indirect mapping is created, so we can search the device-tree for both properties. Patch #10: Instead of destroying the created DDW if it doesn't map the whole partition, make use of it instead of the default DMA window as it improves performance. Also, update the iommu_table and re-generate the pools. It introduces a new property name for DDW with indirect DMA mapping. Patch #11: Does some renaming of 'direct window' to 'dma window', given the DDW created can now be also used in indirect mapping if direct mapping is not available. All patches were tested into an LPAR with an virtio-net interface that allows default DMA window and DDW to coexist.
