I wonder if the default values should also reflect what the VFIO
implementation actually supports. Looking at vfio_dma_do_map, a 32-bit
host will reject any iova greater than 32 bits. In addition,
vfio_dma_do_unmap doesn't support unmapping the last page of a 64-bit
address space (existing IOMMUs would probably reject map requests with
IOVA > 52 bits anyway, but if they don't report a domain aperture, VFIO
can't guess it).
I think it's convenient to use VFIO_IOMMU_UNMAP_DMA on the full address
space when an unmap-all is needed, maybe we could provide default aperture
values that help doing this? (~0U for 32-bit and (~0ULL - PAGE_SIZE) for
64-bit)
Thanks,
Jean
