If so, then it is fine for the iommu driver. As Robin said, if the
device needs more cleanup, the iommu core should register a right
callback to the driver core and handle it before the device goes away.

Disabling PCI features seems to be a reasonable device cleanup. This
gives us another reason to move ATS enabling/disabling out from the

For supprise_removal, device was already removed, powered-off, iommu

device-release got notification  or cleanup callback is  invoked to disable

ATS to not-present device etc ,

I didn't get the meaning to do so, perhaps I misunderstand ?

iommu subsystem. Once this is done, the device driver will enable ATS
during its probe and disable it during its release. There will be no
such workaround in the iommu driver anymore.
