I find the subject (commit short) sub optimal. The 'arch' is already
accepting devices 'without IOMMU feature'. What you are introducing is
the ability to reject.

An architecture protecting the guest memory against unauthorized host
access may want to enforce VIRTIO I/O device protection through the
use of VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.

Let's give a chance to the architecture to accept or not devices
without VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.


I don't particularly like the commit message. In general, I believe
using access_platform instead of iommu_platform would really benefit us.

IOMMU_PLATFORM is used overall in Linux, and I did not find any occurrence for ACCESS_PLATFORM.

arch/s390/mm/init.c including virtio.h looks a bit strange to me, but
if Heiko and Vasily don't mind, neither do I.

Do we have a better place to install the hook?
I though that since it is related to memory management and that, since force_dma_unencrypted already is there, it would be a good place.

However, kvm-s390 is another candidate.

Maybe prefixing the name with virtio_ would help provide the
proper context.

The virtio_dev makes it obvious and from the virtio side it should be obvious that the arch is responsible for this.

However if nobody has something against I change it.

Adding some people that could be interested in overriding this as well
to the cc list.

Thanks,

Why EIO?

Because I/O can not occur correctly?
I am open to suggestions.


Overall, I think it is a good idea to have something that is going to
protect us from this scenario.


It would clearly be a good thing that trusted hypervizors like QEMU forbid this scenario however should we let the door open?

Thanks,
Pierre
