Jason's "Connect VFIO to IOMMUFD" introduces vfio iommufd compat mode.
Under
this mode, vfio_iommufd_bind() creates an access which has an unmap
callback,
which can be called immediately. This means mdev drivers may receive
unmap
requests before the mdev is opened. For now, most dma_unmap() callbacks
are
tolerant with such unmap requests, except for gvt-g and vfio-ap. This series
tries to enhance the two drivers.


there are only three drivers (gvt, vfio-ap and vfio-ccw) providing
dma_unmap().

I'd not call the situation where only one driver is OK as "most
dma_unmap() callbacks are tolerant".

oh, yes. will refine it.
