Oh, I was thinking about a compatability only flow only in the type 1 emulation that internally magically converts a VMA to a dmabuf, but I haven't written anything.. It is a bit tricky and the type 1 emulation has not been as popular as I expected??
In part because of this gap, I'd guess. Thanks,
Lack of huge mappings in the IOMMU when using VFIO_TYPE1_IOMMU is another gap I'm aware of. vfio_dma_mapping_test.vfio_type1_iommu_anonymous_hugetlb_1gb.dma_map_unmap fails when IOMMUFD_VFIO_CONTAINER is enabled.
What is this? I'm not aware of it..
It's one of the test cases within tools/testing/selftests/vfio/vfio_dma_mapping_test.c.
Here's the output when running with CONFIG_IOMMUFD_VFIO_CONTAINER=y:

I can't think of any reason this would fail, I think your tests have found a real bug?? Can you check into it, what kernel call fails and where does the kernel code come from?
Oh I thought it was by design. This code in iommufd_vfio_set_iommu():
/* * The difference between TYPE1 and TYPE1v2 is the ability to unmap in * the middle of mapped ranges. This is complicated by huge page support * which creates single large IOPTEs that cannot be split by the iommu * driver. TYPE1 is very old at this point and likely nothing uses it, * however it is simple enough to emulate by simply disabling the * problematic large IOPTEs. Then we can safely unmap within any range. */ if (type == VFIO_TYPE1_IOMMU) rc = iopt_disable_large_pages(&ioas->iopt);
git-blame says some guy named Jason Gunthorpe wrote it :P
I don't think I can run these tests with the HW I have??
FWIW all you need any PCI device that can be bound to vfio-pci and mapped by VT-d. This test does not rely on any of the VFIO selftests drivers to trigger DMA.
