Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/5] iommupt: Implement refcounting logic for Leaf entries
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 23:02:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001230219.818128-3-praan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001230219.818128-1-praan@google.com>

Implement a lockless state machine using the ioptdesc's __page_refcount
field. During an unmap, the driver executes atomic_sub_return() when
clearing a leaf PTE. If the refcount drops to the baseline state (1),
the directory is completely empty and its pointer is stored to the
domain's reclaim_list Xarray.

To protect against a concurrent background Shrinker pruning a directory
while a map thread is actively populating it, the map thread must acquire
a reference using atomic_inc_not_zero() before installing a new leaf.
If the acquisition fails, the page has been marked dead (0) by the
Shrinker. The map thread cleanly returns -EAGAIN, forcing the walker to
loop and re-allocate a fresh directory.

Only non-DMA domains are queued: DMA API unmaps can run in IRQ context
and the reclaim_list lock is not IRQ safe.
