Hi Alex,
Pls refer to the open I mentioned in this email, I need your comments
on it to prepare the formal patchset for SVM virtualization. Thx.

yes, would modify it. Thx.

For this model, I'm thinking about another potential usage which
is from Tianyu's idea to use tlb_invalidate_info to pass invalidations
for iova related mappings. In such case, there would be no bind_pasid_table()
before it, so a model check would be needed. But I may remove it since this
patchset is focusing on SVM.
Here, I have an open to check with you. I defined the tlb_invalidate_info
with full opaque data. The opaque would include the invalidate info for
different vendors. But we have two choices for the tlb_invalidate_info
definition.
a) as proposed in this patchset, passing raw data to host. Host pIOMMU
driver submits invalidation request after replacing specific fields.
Reject if the IOMMU model is not correct.
* Pros: no need to do parse and re-assembling, better performance
* Cons: unable to support the scenarios which emulates an Intel IOMMU
on an ARM platform.
b) parse the invalidation info into specific data, e.g. gran, addr,
size, invalidation type etc. then fill the data in a generic
structure. In host, pIOMMU driver re-assemble the invalidation
request and submit to pIOMMU.
* Pros: may be able to support the scenario above. But it is still in
question since different vendor may have vendor specific
invalidation info. This would make it difficult to have vendor
agnostic invalidation propagation API.
* Cons: needs additional complexity to do parse and re-assembling.
The generic structure would be a hyper-set of all possible
invalidate info, this may be hard to maintain in future.
As the pros/cons show, I proposed a) as an initial version. But it is an
open. Jean from ARM has gave some comments on it and inclined to the opaque
way with generic part defined explicitly. Jean's reply is in the link below.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg149884.html
I'd like to see your comments on it before moving forward. I'm fine with
Jean's idea. For VT-d, I may define it as "generic part" + "raw data".
Thanks,
