This iommu_group attribute is created by
drivers/iommu/iommu.c:iommu_group_add_device. It is a symbolic link to
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<group>.

I don't think so. If you're able to see the root complex in an IOMMU
group, then the configuration is probably fine. Could you provide a little
more information about your system, for example lspci along with "find
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/devices/*"?

Ideally, each PCIe device will be in its own IOMMU group. So you shouldn't
have each bus in a group, but rather one device per group. Linux puts
multiple devices in a group if the IOMMU cannot properly isolate them. In
general it's not something you want in your system, because all devices in
a group will have the same address space and cannot be passed to a guest
separately.

Thanks,
Jean
