I just noticed this patch was dropped in v7, and am wondering whether we
could still upstream it. Does x86 need a child with a new address space
(!CLONE_VM) to inherit the PASID of the parent? That doesn't make much
sense with regard to IOMMU structures - same PASID indexing multiple PGDs?
Currently iommu_sva_alloc_pasid() assumes mm->pasid is always initialized
to 0 and fails on forked tasks. I'm trying to figure out how to fix this.
Could we clear the pasid on fork or does it break the x86 model?
Thanks,
Jean
