As per PCI specification (PCI Express Base Specification Revision
6.0, Section 10.5) both PF and VFs of a PCI EP are permitted to be enabled
independently for ATS capability, however the STU(Smallest Translation
Unit) is shared between PF and VFs. For VFs, it is hardwired to Zero and
the associated PF's value applies to VFs.

In the current code, the STU is being configured while enabling the PF ATS.
Hence, it is not able to enable ATS for VFs, if it is not enabled on the
associated PF already.

Adding a function pci_ats_stu_configure(), which can be called to
configure the STU during PF enumeration.
Latter enumerations of VFs can successfully enable ATS independently.

s/STU(Smallest/STU (Smallest/ (add space before paren)

Add blank line between paragraphs (it looks like "Latter enumerations"

Given an ack for the IOMMU patch, I'd be happy to merge both (and I
can do the commit log tweaks); just let me know.

One comment/question below.

I might return an error for the VF case on the assumption that it's
likely an error in the caller.  I guess one could argue that it
simplifies the caller if it doesn't have to check for PF vs VF.  But
the fact that STU is shared between PF and VFs is an important part of
understanding how ATS works, so the caller should be aware of the
distinction anyway.

I have already asked this question. But let me repeat it.

We don't have any checks for the PF case here. That means you can re-configure
the STU as many times as you want until ATS is enabled in PF. So, if there are
active VFs which uses this STU, can PF re-configure the STU at will?


IMO, Since STU is shared, programming it multiple times is not expected from callers code do it, however we can add below check to allow to program STU once from a PF.

Theoretically, you can re-configure STU as long as no one is using it. Instead of this check, is
there a way to check whether there are active VMs which enables ATS?

Yes I agree, there is no limitation on how many times you write STU bits, but practically it is happening while PF is enumerated.

The usage of function pci_ats_stu_configure is almost similar(subset) to
pci_enable_ats and only difference is one does ATS enable + STU program and another does only STU program.

IMO, I dont think, there is any need to find how many active VMs with attached VFs and it is not done for pci_enable_ats as well.

Also the caller has the requirement to call either pci_ats_stu_configure or pci_enable_ats while enumerating the PF.
