Good point, there shouldn't be any harm if the page response is a
"fake" success. In fact it could happen in the normal operation when
PRQs to two devices share the same non-leaf translation structure. The
worst case is just a retry. I am not aware of the retry limit, is it in
the PCIe spec? I cannot find it.

I think we should just document it, similar to having a spurious
interrupt. The PRQ trace event should capture that as well.

That would be true regardless this race condition with handler
registration. So should be fine.

There is no reason for VFIO to unregister and register again, I was
just thinking from security perspective. Someone could write a VFIO app
do this attack. But I agree the damage is within the device, may get
PRI disabled as a result.

So it seems we agree on the following:
- iommu_unregister_device_fault_handler() will never fail
- iommu driver cleans up all pending faults when handler is unregistered
- assume device driver or guest not sending more page response _after_
  handler is unregistered.
- system will tolerate rare spurious response

Sounds right?
