Hi Yong Wu, Sorry for long delay, I had to figure out some time to look at this again.

It would be good to have structures or code that should be running under this spinlock annotated with proper comments. And purpose of the lock documented in a comment as well (probably in a kerneldoc-style documentation of priv). >> > +static void mtk_iommu_detach_device(struct iommu_domain *domain, >> > + struct device *dev) >> > +{ >> >> No hardware (de)configuration or clean-up necessary? > I will add it. Actually we design like this:If a device have attached to > iommu domain, it won't detach from it. Isn't proper clean-up required for module removal?

Can you guarantee that at the time you allocate the memory using devm_kmalloc() the memory is not dirty (i.e. some write back data are stored in CPU cache) and is not going to be written back in some time, overwriting data put there by IOMMU hardware? >> > + >> > + iommu_set_fault_handler(domain, mtk_iommu_fault_handler, piommu); >> >> I don't see any other drivers doing this.

No, this function is for drivers of IOMMU clients (i.e. master IP blocks) which want to subscribe to page fault to do things like paging on demand and so on. It shouldn't be called by IOMMU driver. Please see other IOMMU drivers, for example rockchip-iommmu.c.
