H A Dtrace-events63b88968 Fri May 18 02:25:17 CDT 2018 Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> intel-iommu: rework the page walk logic

This patch fixes a potential small window that the DMA page table might
be incomplete or invalid when the guest sends domain/context
invalidations to a device. This can cause random DMA errors for
assigned devices.

This is a major change to the VT-d shadow page walking logic. It
includes but is not limited to:

- For each VTDAddressSpace, now we maintain what IOVA ranges we have
mapped and what we have not. With that information, now we only send
MAP or UNMAP when necessary. Say, we don't send MAP notifies if we
know we have already mapped the range, meanwhile we don't send UNMAP
notifies if we know we never mapped the range at all.

- Introduce vtd_sync_shadow_page_table[_range] APIs so that we can call
in any places to resync the shadow page table for a device.

- When we receive domain/context invalidation, we should not really run
the replay logic, instead we use the new sync shadow page table API to
resync the whole shadow page table without unmapping the whole
region. After this change, we'll only do the page walk once for each
domain invalidations (before this, it can be multiple, depending on
number of notifiers per address space).

While at it, the page walking logic is also refactored to be simpler.
