Option #1 and #2 seem to have precedence in the already existing iommu bindings though [1,2,3]. I just want to make sure we've thought through all options and understand their advantages/disadvantages before we take a decision. I've been reading some more Linux iommu code and here's how I understand it now / how I could implement at least #1 with a single shared pagetable. This might also be possible for option #2, but I'll need to think that through in more detail. An iommu domain is a collection of devices that share a virtual address space. During domain allocation I can just allocate a single DART pagetable and not have anything point to it for now. A stream identifies the smallest unit the iommu hardware can differentiate. For the DART we have 16 of these with a single TCR + the four TTBR register for each stream. A device is assigned to individual streams using the "iommus" property. When a device is attached to a domain we now simply setup the TTBR registers to point to the iommu domain pagetable. It doesn't matter here if it's a single stream or multiple ones or even multiple devices sharing a single stream as long as they're attached to the same domain. All operations (map, unmap, etc.) now simply first modify the domain pagetable and then issue the TLB maintenance operations for attached streams. > > If you no longer think that is desirable, you'll still have the > problem that you'll need to modify the dwc3 driver code such that it > uses the right IOMMU to do its DMA address translation.

That will end up being *very* ugly.
