Good point. Following the feedback for this series, next version adds
another public function:
int iommu_sva_device_init(struct device *dev, int features);
that has to be called by the device driver before any bind(). The intent
is to let some IOMMU drivers initialize PASID tables and other features
lazily, only if the device driver actually intends to use them. Maybe I
could change this function to:
int iommu_sva_device_init(struct device *dev, int features, unsigned int
max_pasid);
@features is a bitmask telling what the device driver needs (PASID and/or
page faults). If features has IOMMU_SVA_FEAT_PASID set, then device driver
can set a max_pasid limit, that we'd store in our private device-iommu
data. If max_pasid is 0, then we'd use the PCI limit.
Thanks,
Jean
