Hi Baolu, In a brief, this version is pretty good to me. However, I still want to have the following checks to see if anything missed. Wish it helps. 1) would using IOVA over FLPT default on? My opinion is that before we have got gIOVA nested translation done for passthru devices, we should make this feature as off. 2) the domain->agaw is somehow calculated according to the capabilities related to second level page table. As we are moving IOVA to FLPT, I'd suggest to calculate domain->agaw with the translation modes FLPT supports (e.g. 4 level and 5 level) 3) Per VT-d spec, FLPT has canonical requirement to the input addresses. So I'd suggest to add some enhance regards to it. Please refer to chapter 3.6 :-). 3.6 First-Level Translation First-level translation restricts the input-address to a canonical address (i.e., address bits 63:N have the same value as address bit [N-1], where N is 48-bits with 4-level paging and 57-bits with 5-level paging). Requests subject to first-level translation by remapping hardware are subject to canonical address checking as a pre-condition for first-level translation, and a violation is treated as a translation-fault.
