--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on blk and DMA patches which will be sent during coming merge window. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This series extends the VFIO PCI subsystem to support exporting MMIO regions from PCI device BARs as dma-buf objects, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations.
The series supports a use case for SPDK where a NVMe device will be owned by SPDK through VFIO but interacting with a RDMA device. The RDMA device may directly access the NVMe CMB or directly manipulate the NVMe device's doorbell using PCI P2P.
However, as a general mechanism, it can support many other scenarios with VFIO. This dmabuf approach can be usable by iommufd as well for generic and safe P2P mappings.
In addition to the SPDK use-case mentioned above, the capability added in this patch series can also be useful when a buffer (located in device memory such as VRAM) needs to be shared between any two dGPU devices or instances (assuming one of them is bound to VFIO PCI) as long as they are P2P DMA compatible.
The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace.
The series includes significant refactoring of the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate core P2P functionality from memory allocation features, making it more modular and suitable for VFIO use cases that don't need struct page support.

Remove the bus_off field from pci_p2pdma_map_state since it duplicates information already available in the pgmap structure. The bus_offset is only used in one location (pci_p2pdma_bus_addr_map) and is always identical to pgmap->bus_offset.

Why not?
That's the whole point of this, to remove struct page and use something else as a handle for the p2p when doing the DMA API stuff.
The caller must make sure the lifetimes all work out. The handle must live longer than any active DMAs, etc, etc. DMABUF with invalidation lets vfio do that.
This is why the DMA api code was taught to use phys_addr_t and not touch the struct page so it could work with struct-pageless memory.
The idea was to end up with two layers in the P2P code where the lower layer only works on the handle, and then there is an optional struct page/genalloc/etc layer for places that want struct page and mmap.

Because the struct page is the only thing that:

MMIO is literally the only thing we support to P2P to/from as that is how PCIe P2P is defined. And not, it's not stable - devices can be unplugged, and BARs can be reenumerated.

I have a feeling that we are drifting from the current patchset to more general discussion.
The whole idea of new DMA API is to provide flexibility to the callers (subsystems) who are perfectly aware of their data and limitations to implement direct addressing natively.
In this series, device is controlled by VFIO and DMABUF. It is not possible to unplug it without VFIO notices it. In such case, p2pdma_provider and related routing information (DMABUF) will be reevaluated.
So for VFIO + DMABUF, the pointer is very stable.
For other cases (general case), the flow is not changed. Users will continue to call to old and well-known pci_p2pdma_state() to calculate p2p type.
Thanks

Because the struct page is the only thing that:
a) dma-mapping works on
The main point of the "dma-mapping: migrate to physical address-based API" series was to remove the struct page dependencies in the DMA API:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1750854543.git.leon@kernel.org/
If it is not complete, then it needs more fixing.
b) is the only place we can discover the routing information,
This patch adds the p2pdma_provider structure to discover the routing information, this is exactly the problem being solved here.
but also more importantly ensure that the underlying page is still present and the device is not hot unplugged, or in a very theoretical worst case replaced by something else.
I already answered this, for DMABUF the DMABUF invalidation scheme is used to control the lifetime and no DMA mapping outlives the provider, and the provider doesn't outlive the driver.
Hotplug works fine. VFIO gets the driver removal callback, it invalidates all the DMABUFs, refuses to re-validate them, destroys the P2P provider, and ends its driver. There is no lifetime issue.
Obviously you cannot use the new p2provider mechanism without some kind of protection against use after hot unplug, but it doesn't have to be struct page based.

Based on the conversation how about this as a commit message:
PCI/P2PDMA: Separate the mmap() support from the core logic
Currently the P2PDMA code requires a pgmap and a struct page to function. The was serving three important purposes:
- DMA API compatibility, where scatterlist required a struct page as input
- Life cycle management, the percpu_ref is used to prevent UAF during device hot unplug
- A way to get the P2P provider data through the pci_p2pdma_pagemap
The DMA API now has a new flow, and has gained phys_addr_t support, so it no longer needs struct pages to perform P2P mapping.
Lifecycle management can be delegated to the user, DMABUF for instance has a suitable invalidation protocol that does not require struct page.
Finding the P2P provider data can also be managed by the caller without need to look it up from the phys_addr.
Split the P2PDMA code into two layers. The optionl upper layer, effectively, provides a way to mmap() P2P memory into a VMA by providing struct page, pgmap, a genalloc and sysfs.
The lower layer provides the actual P2P infrastructure and is wrapped up in a new struct p2pdma_provider. Rework the mmap layer to use new p2pdma_provider based APIs.
Drivers that do not want to put P2P memory into VMA's can allocate a struct p2pdma_provider after probe() starts and free it before remove() completes. When DMA mapping the driver must convey the struct p2pdma_provider to the DMA mapping code along with a phys_addr of the MMIO BAR slice to map. The driver must ensure that no DMA mapping outlives the lifetime of the struct p2pdma_provider.
The intended target of this new API layer is DMABUF. There is usually only a single p2pdma_provider for a DMABUF exporter. Most drivers can establish the p2pdma_provider during probe, access the single instance during DMABUF attach and use that to drive the DMA mapping.
DMABUF provides an invalidation mechanism that can guarentee all DMA is halted and the DMA mappings are undone prior to destroying the struct p2pdma_provider. This ensures there is no UAF through DMABUFs that are lingering past driver removal.
The new p2pdma_provider layer cannot be used to create P2P memory that can be mapped into VMA's, be used with pin_user_pages(), O_DIRECT, and so on. These use cases must still use the mmap() layer. The p2pdma_provider layer is principally for DMABUF-like use cases where DMABUF natively manages the life cycle and access instead of vmas/pin_user_pages()/struct page.

Update the pci_p2pdma_bus_addr_map() function to take a direct pointer to the p2pdma_provider structure instead of the pci_p2pdma_map_state. This simplifies the API by removing the need for callers to extract the provider from the state structure.
The change updates all callers across the kernel (block layer, IOMMU, DMA direct, and HMM) to pass the provider pointer directly, making the code more explicit and reducing unnecessary indirection. This also removes the runtime warning check since callers now have direct control over which provider they use.

Again I don't actually see any simplification here. But maybe I'm missing the ultimate goal here.

Refactor the PCI P2PDMA subsystem to separate the core peer-to-peer DMA functionality from the optional memory allocation layer. This creates a two-tier architecture:
The core layer provides P2P mapping functionality for physical addresses based on PCI device MMIO BARs and integrates with the DMA API for mapping operations. This layer is required for all P2PDMA users.
The optional upper layer provides memory allocation capabilities including gen_pool allocator, struct page support, and sysfs interface for user space access.
This separation allows subsystems like VFIO to use only the core P2P mapping functionality without the overhead of memory allocation features they don't need. The core functionality is now available through the new pci_p2pdma_enable() function that returns a p2pdma_provider structure.

Export the pci_p2pdma_map_type() function to allow external modules and subsystems to determine the appropriate mapping type for P2PDMA transfers between a provider and target device.
The function determines whether peer-to-peer DMA transfers can be done directly through PCI switches (PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_BUS_ADDR) or must go through the host bridge (PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE), or if the transfer is not supported at all.
This export enables subsystems like VFIO to properly handle P2PDMA operations by querying the mapping type before attempting transfers, ensuring correct DMA address programming and error handling.

It is just a wrong word in commit message. I clearly need it for vfio-pci module and nothing more.

Export the pci_p2pdma_map_type() function to allow external modules and subsystems to determine the appropriate mapping type for P2PDMA transfers between a provider and target device.
External modules have no business doing this.
So what's the plan?
Today the new DMA API broadly has the pattern:
switch (pci_p2pdma_state(p2pdma_state, dev, page)) { [..] if (dma_use_iova(state)) { ret = dma_iova_link(dev, state, paddr, offset, [..] } else { dma_addr = dma_map_page(dev, page, 0, map->dma_entry_size, [..]
You can't fully use the new API flow without calling pci_p2pdma_state(), which is also not exported today.
Is the idea the full new DMA API flow should not be available to modules? We did export dma_iova_link().
Otherwise, the p2p step needs two functions - a struct page-full and a struct page-less version, and they need to be exported.
The names here are not so good, it would be nicer to have them be a dma_* prefixed function since they are used with the other dma_ functions.

Move the struct phys_vec definition from block/blk-mq-dma.c to include/linux/types.h to make it available for use across the kernel.
The phys_vec structure represents a physical address range with a length, which is used by the new physical address-based DMA mapping API. This structure is already used by the block layer and will be needed by upcoming VFIO patches for dma-buf operations.
Moving this definition to types.h provides a centralized location for this common data structure and eliminates code duplication across subsystems that need to work with physical address ranges.

There is no need to share the main device pointer (struct vfio_device *) with all the feature functions as they only need the core device pointer. Therefore, extract the core device pointer once in the caller (vfio_pci_core_ioctl_feature) and share it instead.

Add support for exporting PCI device MMIO regions through dma-buf, enabling safe sharing of non-struct page memory with controlled lifetime management. This allows RDMA and other subsystems to import dma-buf FDs and build them into memory regions for PCI P2P operations.
The implementation provides a revocable attachment mechanism using dma-buf move operations. MMIO regions are normally pinned as BARs don't change physical addresses, but access is revoked when the VFIO device is closed or a PCI reset is issued. This ensures kernel self-defense against potentially hostile userspace.

The supposed benefits of this API are only for replacing scatterlists where multiple disjoint pages are being mapped. In this case with just one single contiguous mapping, it is clearly objectively worse to have to bounce in and out of the IOMMU layer 3 separate times and store a dma_map_state, to achieve the exact same operations that a single call to iommu_dma_map_resource() will perform more efficiently and with no external state required.
Oh yeah, and mapping MMIO with regular memory attributes (IOMMU_CACHE) rather than appropriate ones (IOMMU_MMIO), as this will end up doing, isn't guaranteed not to end badly either (e.g. if the system interconnect ends up merging consecutive write bursts and exceeding the target root port's MPS.)

And again, if the IOMMU is in bypass (the idea of P2P with vfio-noiommu simply isn't worth entertaining) then what purpose do you imagine this call serves at all, other than to hilariously crash under "swiotlb=force"? Even in the case that phys_to_dma(phys_vec->paddr) != phys_vec->paddr, in almost all circumstances (both hardware offsets and CoCo environments with address-based aliasing), it is more likely than not that the latter is still the address you want and the former is wrong (and liable to lead to corruption or fatal system errors), because MMIO and memory remain fundamentally different things.
AFAICS you're *depending* on this call being an effective no-op, and thus only demonstrating that the dma_map_phys() idea is still entirely unnecessary.

The non-contiguous mappings are comming back, it was in earlier drafts of this. Regardless, the point is to show how to use the general API that we would want to bring into the DRM drivers that don't have contiguity even though VFIO is a bit special.
Oh yeah, and mapping MMIO with regular memory attributes (IOMMU_CACHE) rather than appropriate ones (IOMMU_MMIO), as this will end up doing, isn't guaranteed not to end badly either (e.g. if the system interconnect ends up merging consecutive write bursts and exceeding the target root port's MPS.)
Yes, I recently noticed this too, it should be fixed..
But so we are all on the same page, alot of the PCI P2P systems are setup so P2P does not transit through the iommu. It either takes the ACS path through a switch or it uses ATS and takes a different ACS path through a switch. It only transits through the iommu in misconfigured systems or in the rarer case of P2P between root ports.
And again, if the IOMMU is in bypass (the idea of P2P with vfio-noiommu simply isn't worth entertaining)
Not quite. DMABUF is sort of upside down.
For example if we are exporting a DMABUF from VFIO and importing it to RDMA then RDMA will call VFIO to make an attachment and the above VFIO code will perform the DMA map to the RDMA struct device. DMABUF returns a dma mapped scatterlist back to the RDMA driver.
The above dma_map_phys(rdma_dev,...) can be in bypass because the rdma device can legitimately be in bypass, or not have a iommu, or whatever.
AFAICS you're *depending* on this call being an effective no-op, and thus only demonstrating that the dma_map_phys() idea is still entirely unnecessary.
It should not be a full no-op, and it should be closer to dma map resource to avoid the mmio issues.
It should be failing for cases where it is not supported (ie swiotlb=force), it should still be calling the legacy dma_ops, and it should be undoing any CC mangling with the address. (also the pci_p2pdma_bus_addr_map() needs to deal with any CC issues too)
