If possible yes I'd hope for this to go into v6.2 so we don't break ISM
pass-through. Support for ISM pass-through has only been available
since v6.0 where Matt added the interpretation support but it is one of
the most useful pass-through uses at the moment since the ISM device
uses long lived DMA mappings and as such is pretty much unaffected by
the performance impact of our virtualized IOMMUs. Together with SMD-D
this allows high performance communication of VMs with other VMs or
LPARs. Now we don't have this problem in distribution kernels that have
Matt's patches as backports but lack my newer IOMMU changes and few if
any of our customers run upstream but still of course I'd prefer not to
have known broken upstream releases.
Thanks,
Niklas
