This is v7 post. The principle of the fix is similar to intel iommu. Just defer the assignment of device to domain to device driver init. In this version of post, a new call-back is_attach_deferred is added to iommu-ops, it's used to check whether we need defer the domain attach/detach in iommu-core code. v5: bnx2 NIC can't reset itself during driver init. Post patch to reset it during driver init. IO_PAGE_FAULT can't be seen anymore. Below is link of v5 post. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2016-September/018527.html v5->v6: According to Joerg's comments made several below main changes: - Add sanity check when copy old dev tables. - If a device is set up with guest translations (DTE.GV=1), then don't copy that information but move the device over to an empty guest-cr3 table and handle the faults in the PPR log (which just answer them with INVALID). v6->v7: Two main changes are made according to Joerg's suggestion: - Add is_attach_deferred call-back to iommu-ops. With this domain can be deferred to device driver init cleanly. - Allocate memory below 4G for dev table if translation pre-enabled. AMD engineer pointed out that it's unsafe to update the device-table while iommu is enabled. device-table pointer update is split up into two 32bit writes in the IOMMU hardware. So updating it while the IOMMU is enabled could have some nasty side effects.
