Hi,

This series adds an ATS control property to vfio-pci and wires iommufd
support reporting so vfio-pci can decide whether to expose the ATS PCIe
extended capability to the guest. This series is a follow-up to the
previous patch included in the "hw/arm/smmuv3-accel: Resolve AUTO
properties" series [0].

The new vfio-pci property is:
   ats=on|off|auto (default: auto)

Behavior:
- off: always masks ATS from guest view
- on: requires ATS support; fails realize if kernel reports
       IOMMU_HW_CAP_PCI_ATS_NOT_SUPPORTED
- auto: masks ATS only when kernel reports
         IOMMU_HW_CAP_PCI_ATS_NOT_SUPPORTED

To preserve machine compatibility for older machine types, this series adds:
   { "vfio-pci", "ats", "on" } to hw_compat_11_0.

Please note that no linux-headers sync patch is included in this series
because IOMMU_HW_CAP_PCI_ATS_NOT_SUPPORTED is already present in
linux-headers/linux/iommufd.h in the current base.

Testing:
Verified ATS capability visibility changes with vfio-pci ats=off/on/auto
on an NVIDIA Grace system:
- ats=on + ATS supported by kernel => propagate ATS extended cap to
   guest view
- ats=auto + ATS supported by kernel => propagate ATS extended cap to
   guest view
- ats=on + hiod_iommufd_support_ats modified to return false (mimic
   kernel-reported unsupported ATS) => realize failure
- ats=auto + hiod_iommufd_support_ats modified to return false (mimic
   kernel-reported unsupported ATS) => ATS masked
- ats=off => ATS masked

What about ats=on and no ATS support in the physical device ?

I agree it is a bit of a corner case. A warning would be nice,
it can be addressed as a follow up change.

Thanks,

C.

Changes from "Resolve AUTO properties" series:
- Split into separate patches for support_ats() handler introduction and
   iommufd implementation, "ats" property addition, and compat property fix
- Rebase on vfio-next
- Remove unnecessary includes for hw/vfio/pci.c
- Rename ats_need to ats_needed for vfio_pci_ats_requested_and_supported()
- Move the vfio_pci_ats_requested_and_supported() call to
   vfio_pci_add_capabilities() so we can propagate the Error **, and then pass
   ats_needed as a new input arg to vfio_add_ext_cap
- Fix indent error in vfio_add_ext_cap()
- Break and add a pcie_add_capability() call for the PASID case in
   vfio_add_ext_cap()
- Update comment about return value for support_ats()

Thanks,
Nathan
