When IOMMU tries to enable PRI for VF device in
iommu_enable_dev_iotlb(), it always fails because PRI support for PCIe
VF device is currently broken in PCIE driver. Current implementation
expects the given PCIe device (PF & VF) to implement PRI capability
before enabling the PRI support. But this assumption is incorrect. As
per PCIe spec r4.0, sec 9.3.7.11, all VFs associated with PF can only
use the Page Request Interface (PRI) of the PF and not implement it.
Hence we need to create exception for handling the PRI support for PCIe
VF device.

Since PRI is shared between PF/VF devices, following rules should apply.

1. Enable PRI in VF only if its already enabled in PF.
2. When enabling/disabling PRI for VF, instead of configuring the
registers just increase/decrease the usage count (pri_ref_cnt) of PF.
3. Disable PRI in PF only if pr_ref_cnt is zero.
s/pr_ref_cnt/pri_ref_cnt/

This seems gratuitous. It finds implementation errors, but since we
correctly use the PF here anyway, it doesn't *need* to prevent PRI on
the VF from working.

I think you should just have:

if (pdev->is_virtfn) {
pf = pci_physfn(pdev);
if (!pf->pri_enabled)
return -EINVAL;
This would be incorrect. Since if we never did any bind_mm to the PF
PRI would not have been enabled. Currently this is done in the IOMMU
driver, and not in the device driver.
This is functionally the same as the original patch, only omitting the
"VF must not implement PRI" check.

I suppose we should enable PF capability if its not enabled. Same
comment would be applicable for PASID as well.
Operating on a device other than the one the driver owns opens the
issue of mutual exclusion and races, so would require careful
scrutiny. Are PRI/PASID things that could be *always* enabled for the
PF at enumeration-time, or do we have to wait until a driver claims
the VF? If the latter, are there coordination issues between drivers
of different VFs?
I suppose that's a reasonably good alternative. You mean we could
do this when VF's are being created? Otherwise we can do this as its
done today, on demand for all normal PF's.

If we are going to enable it with default features then its doable. But for cases with custom requirements, it will become complicated. For example, in following code, IOMMU sets PRI Outstanding Page Allocation quota as 32 or 1 based on errata info. So if we just enable it by default then we may not be able to take these requirements into consideration.

2051 static int pdev_iommuv2_enable(struct pci_dev *pdev)
2052 {
2053ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ bool reset_enable;
2054ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ int reqs, ret;
2055
2056ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ /* FIXME: Hardcode number of outstanding requests for now */
2057ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ reqs = 32;
2058ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ if (pdev_pri_erratum(pdev, AMD_PRI_DEV_ERRATUM_LIMIT_REQ_ONE))
2059ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ reqs = 1;
2060ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ reset_enable = pdev_pri_erratum(pdev, AMD_PRI_DEV_ERRATUM_ENABLE_RESET);

2073ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ ret = pci_enable_pri(pdev, reqs);
