Then we just drop the PS in Step 11? Yes, I think we do. Two possibilities: * G1 is reused at step 7 for the same PASID context, which means that it is for the same mdev. The problem is then identical to the non-mdev case, new page faults and old page response may cross: # Dev Host mdev drv VFIO/QEMU Guest ==================================================================== 7 PR2 G1 P1 --. 8 \ .------------- M1 PS1 G1 9 '-----> PR2 G1 P1 -> / inject --> M1 PR2 G1 10 accept <--- PS1 G1 P1 <--' 11 reject <--- PS2 G1 P1 <------------------ M1 PS2 G1 And the incorrect page response is returned to the guest. However it affects a single mdev/guest context, it doesn't affect other mdevs. * Or G1 is reused at step 7 for a different PASID. At step 10 the fault handler rejects the page response because the PASID is different, and step 11 is accepted. >>> Having spurious page response is also not >>> abiding the PCIe spec. exactly. >> >> We are following the PCI spec though, in that we don't send page >> responses for PRGIs that aren't in flight. >> > You are right, the worst case of the spurious PS is to terminate the > group prematurely.

But from the IOMMU fault API point of view, the full page request is identified by both PRGI and PASID. Given that each mdev has its own set of PASIDs, it should be easy to isolate page responses per mdev. Thanks, Jean
