Well... The loop below is not going to handle all the regions
described in
the property "reg". Instead, it will cover a subset of "reg"
where
the
memory is addressable.
As I understand, we are only interested in subset of "reg" where
the
memory is
addressable.


You will also need to cover "ranges" that will describe the BARs
for
the PCI
devices.
Good point.
Yes, very good point!


Could you please clarify how to recognize whether it is a PCI
device as long as PCI support is not merged? Or just to find any
device nodes
with non-empty "ranges" property
and retrieve addresses?
Normally any bus can have a ranges property with the aperture and
possible address translations, including /amba (compatible =
"simple-bus"). However, in these cases dt_device_get_address already
takes care of it, see
xen/common/device_tree.c:dt_device_get_address.

The PCI bus is special for 2 reasons:
- the ranges property has a different format
- the bus is hot-pluggable

So I think the only one that we need to treat specially is PCI.

As far as I am aware PCI is the only bus (or maybe just the only bus
that we support?) where ranges means the aperture.
Now that I think about this, there is another "hotpluggable" scenario
we
need to think about:

[1] https://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=163056546214978

Xilinx devices have FPGA regions with apertures currently not
described
in device tree, where things can programmed in PL at runtime making
new
devices appear with new MMIO regions out of thin air.

Now let me start by saying that yes, the entire programmable region
aperture could probably be described in device tree, however, in
reality it is not currently done in any of the device trees we use
(including the upstream device trees in linux.git).
This is rather annoying, but not unheard. There are a couple of
platforms
where the MMIOs are not fully described in the DT.

In fact, we have a callback 'specific_mappings' which create additional
mappings (e.g. on the omap5) for dom0.

So, we have a problem :-(


I can work toward getting the right info on device tree, but in
reality
that is going to take time and for now the device tree doesn't have
the
FPGA aperture in it. So if we accept this series as is, it is going to
stop features like [1] from working. >
If we cannot come up with any better plans, I think it would be better
to drop find_memory_holes, only rely on find_unallocated_memory even
when the IOMMU is on. One idea is that we could add on top of the
regions found by find_unallocated_memory any MMIO regions marked as
xen,passthrough: they are safe because they are not going to dom0
anyway.
(Oleksandr, it looks like some rationale about the different approach is
missing in the commit message. Can you add it?)
Yes sure, but let me please clarify what is different approach in this
context. Is it to *also* take into the account MMIO regions of the devices
for
passthrough for case when IOMMU is off (in addition to unallocated
memory)? If
yes, I wonder whether we will gain much with that according to that
device's
MMIO regions are usually not big enough and we stick to allocate extended
regions with bigger size (> 64MB).
That's fair enough. There are a couple of counter examples where the
MMIO regions for the device to assign are quite large, for instance a
GPU, Xilinx AIEngine, or the PCIe Root Complex with the entire aperture,
but maybe they are not that common. I am not sure if it is worth
scanning the tree for xen,passthrough regions every time at boot for
this.
ok, I will add a few sentences to commit message about this different approach
for now. At least this could be implemented later on if there is a need.
One thing that worries me about this is that if we take an old Xen with
this series and run it on a new board, it might cause problems. At the
very least [1] wouldn't work.

I got it.



Can we have a Xen command line argument to disable extended regions as
an emergecy toggle?

I think, yes. If no preference for the argument name I will name it "no-ext-region".
