## Description of problem
For a two-stage translation, IOTINVAL.GVMA with GV=1 and AV=1 fails to invalidate the cached translation. After a G-stage mapping is changed and IOTINVAL.GVMA is issued with the correct GSCID and the GPA in ADDR, a device using the same IOVA still receives the old SPA.
The IOATC entry for a two-stage translation is keyed by the device IOVA (the first-stage input address). IOTINVAL.GVMA's ADDR is a guest physical address. The model compares the command's GPA against the cached IOVA, which are different address spaces for a two-stage translation, so the entry never matches and is not invalidated.
## Steps to reproduce
1. [iommu_iotinval_gvma.c](/uploads/54ee41209773164a9e5e0892ec775f62/iommu_iotinval_gvma.c)
2. Built with: `riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc -march=rv64gc -mabi=lp64 -mcmodel=medany -nostartfiles -nostdlib`

```
## Additional information
The guest program (`tests/iommu_iotinval_gvma.c`):
1. Builds a two-stage mapping (VS-stage Sv39 + G-stage Sv39x4) with DC.iohgatp.GSCID = 1. Maps gva_src (0x100000) to gpa_src (0x1000) to old_buf (filled with 0xAA).
2. Reads gva_src once via EDU DMA, which caches the IOVA-\>SPA translation.
3. Remaps gpa_src to new_buf (filled with 0xBB) by rewriting the G-stage leaf.
4. Issues IOTINVAL.GVMA GV=1, AV=1, GSCID=DC.iohgatp.GSCID, Addr=gpa_src through the command queue and waits for it to be consumed.
5. Reads gva_src again and checks whether the data is old (0xAA) or new (0xBB).
## Expected behaviour (per spec)
After IOTINVAL.GVMA invalidates the G-stage mapping for that GSCID and GPA, the next access to the same IOVA must use the new G-stage mapping, returning new_buf (0xBB).
Spec references:
- RISC-V IOMMU Architecture Specification, Table 12 (IOTINVAL.GVMA operands), GV=1 AV=1: "Invalidates information cached from leaf second-stage page table entries corresponding to the guest-physical-address in ADDR operand, but only for VM address spaces identified by the GSCID operand."
- Section 4.1, IOTINVAL.GVMA note: "implementations contain address-translation caches that map guest virtual addresses directly to supervisor physical addresses, removing a level of indirection. For such implementations, any entry whose guest virtual address maps to a guest physical address that matches the IOTINVAL.GVMA address and GSCID arguments must be invalidated."
- Section 7.3.3 (Changing MSI / second-stage page table entry) prescribes: "IOTINVAL.GVMA with GV=AV=1, ADDR\[63:12\]=A\[63:12\] and GSCID=DC.iohgatp.GSCID".
## Observed behaviour
```
DC.iohgatp.GSCID = 0x00000001
gva_src = 0x0000000000100000 gpa_src = 0x0000000000001000 old SPA = 0x0000000080092000 new SPA = 0x0000000080098000
After first transfer: dst_buf[0] = 0x000000AA (old data, as expected)
IOTINVAL.GVMA GV=1 AV=1 GSCID=0x00000001 Addr=0x0000000000001000
Invalidation command consumed.
After second transfer: dst_buf[0] = 0x000000AA
BUG: after IOTINVAL.GVMA the IOVA still maps to the old SPA.
The cached translation was not invalidated.
```
`riscv_iommu_dma` trace (both reads of the IOVA resolve to the old SPA):
```
riscv_iommu_dma (null): translate 0000:01.0 #0 RO 0x100000 -> 0x80092000
riscv_iommu_dma (null): translate 0000:01.0 #0 RO 0x100000 -> 0x80092000
```
Contrast: the same test with AV=0 (GSCID only) returns new data (0xBB) on the second transfer, so the invalidation path itself works.
## Root cause
In `hw/riscv/riscv-iommu.c`, the GV=1/AV=1 GVMA handler matches the cached entry by IOVA:
```c
static void riscv_iommu_iot_inval_gscid_iova(gpointer key, gpointer value,
gpointer data)
{
RISCVIOMMUEntry *iot = (RISCVIOMMUEntry *) value;
RISCVIOMMUEntry *arg = (RISCVIOMMUEntry *) data;
if (iot->tag == arg->tag &&
iot->gscid == arg->gscid &&
iot->iova == arg->iova) { /* iot->iova is the first-stage IOVA */
iot->perm = IOMMU_NONE;
}
}
```
The command dispatch sets `arg->iova` from the command ADDR (a GPA):
```c
hwaddr iova = (cmd.dword1 << 2) & TARGET_PAGE_MASK; /* GPA from IOTINVAL.GVMA */
...
func = (av) ? riscv_iommu_iot_inval_gscid_iova : riscv_iommu_iot_inval_gscid;
riscv_iommu_iot_inval(s, func, gscid, pscid, iova, RISCV_IOMMU_TRANS_TAG_VG);
riscv_iommu_iot_inval(s, func, gscid, pscid, iova, RISCV_IOMMU_TRANS_TAG_VN);
```
The cached `iot->iova` is the device IOVA (set in `riscv_iommu_translate` as `iot->iova = PPN_DOWN(iotlb->iova)`), which for a two-stage translation is the first-stage virtual address, not the GPA. Comparing the command's GPA against the cached first-stage IOVA never matches for a two-stage entry, so the entry is not invalidated.
## Notes
- Effect: after changing a G-stage mapping and issuing the address-specific IOTINVAL.GVMA, a device continues to use the stale SPA. As the IOT cache does not store the GPA in case of two stage translation. The IOTINVAL.GVMA with GV = 1, and AV = 1 can't invalidate the correct entry. There are can be two possible solutions, either add the GPA to the IOT cache or invalidate the IOT based only on GSCID even for IOTINVAl.GVMA_GV1_AV1 invalidation command.
