Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/4] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Support shared Stream IDs
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 23:12:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916-smmu-shared-sid-v1-0-517384504aee@nxp.com> (raw)
Some SoCs have a limited number of IOMMU Stream IDs (SIDs) and
hardware that inherently shares them. For example, the NXP i.MX95
eDMA controller has 64 channels where each TX/RX pair is assigned
a single SID by the hardware - the two channel devices are distinct
from Linux's perspective but present the same SID to the SMMU.
The current ARM SMMUv3 driver rejects this with:
"Aliasing StreamID unsupported, expect DMA to be broken"
I took comments in [1] and implement this patchset and only want to
support a very simple case that multiple platform devices share one SID.
This series adds support for multiple masters to share a single
SID, allowing per-channel DMA devices behind an IOMMU without
requiring one SID per channel.
Patch 1 converts the streams RB tree to an XArray for O(1) SID
lookup, simplifying duplicate-SID handling.
Patch 2 adds reference counting to streams so that multiple
masters can share a SID. Insert increments the refcount; remove
either transfers ownership or decrements. A per-SID linked list
tracks co-sharing masters.
Patch 3 places devices that share a SID into the same IOMMU
group, ensuring they share a single IOMMU domain.
Patch 4 wires up STE write ordering (first master writes, last
master tears down) and gates features that require unambiguous
SID-to-device mapping: SVA, IOPF/stall, and vSMMU nesting are
disabled for shared-SID masters.
