It would be great if it can work with the following patches. But at least for this patch, it seems not: For example, what happens if we switch back to group 0 for dvq? set_group_asid(dvq_group, 0) set_map(0) set_group_asid(dvq_group, 1) set_map(1) // here we destroy the mr created for asid 0 set_group_asid(dvq_group, 0) Btw, if this is a new issue, I haven't checked whether or not it exists before this series (if yes, we can fix on top). > > > It looks to me the most easy way is to let each AS be backed by an MR. > > Then we don't even need to care about the dvq, cvq. > That's what this patch series dowes.
