Thanks. I do think that whatever solution we come up with for virtio 1 should influence what we do for legacy. > > We can't detect the fastmodel, > > Surely, it puts a hardware id somewhere?

The thing is, the fastmodel is a toolkit for building all sorts of platforms: you can chop and change the CPUs, the peripherals, the memory, the interrupt controller, the interconnect etc. Pretty much everything can be customised. So, for any fastmodel configuration that places virtio upstream of the SMMU (which is common, because virtio is one of the few DMA-capable peripherals that the fastmodel supports), we need to do something special. > I'd like to see basically > > if (fastmodel) > a pile of special work-arounds > else > not less hacky but more common virtio work-arounds > > :) > > And then I can apply whatever comes from @arm.com and not > worry about breaking actual hardware. What we could do is call iommu_group_get(&vdev->dev) for legacy devices if CONFIG_ARM64. If that returns non-NULL, then we know that the device is upstream of an SMMU, which means it must be the fastmodel.
