So you agree that an algorithm needs to know about all the bus masters/stream IDs for a specific IOMMU before it can figure out the StreamID masks and how many SMRs can be allocated to a specific bus master? Andreas's algorithm does not know about the other bus masters/stream IDs. It operates on one bus master at a time. >>>> I am not familiar with Andreas's proposal.

I ran the algorithm through a few trivial cases: 1) Stream IDs: 0x21, 0x22, 0x23, 0x24, 0x25, 0x26, 0x27, 0x28 Number of SMRs: 9 In this case the algorithm decided to set mask to 0 for all entries using up 8 of the SMRs. 2) Same Stream IDs but only 2 SMRs. The algorithm gave an error saying I did not have enough SMRs.
