Can you point me to where > this is being discussed? It means the device has to support a state where it is not issuing any outgoing DMA but continuing to process incoming DMA. This is mandatory to properly support multiple VFIO devices in the same VM, which is why we want to see all devices implementing it. If the devices don't support it we may assume it means the device is broken and qemu will have to actively block P2P at the IOMMU. There was lots of long threads in around Dec 2021 if I recall, lore could probably find them. Somewhere around here based on the search https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20220215155602.GB1046125@xxxxxxxxxx/ Jason
