Interesting, so the below figure demonstrates the case of VM. I wonder
how much differences if we compare it with doing SVM between device
and
an ordinary process (e.g dpdk)?

Thanks
One difference is that ordinary process requires only stage-1 translation,
while VM requires nested translation.


A silly question, then I believe there's no need for VFIO DMA API in this case consider the page table is shared between MMU and IOMMU?

Thanks
