But I'm not sure whether a virtual platform is allowed to include multiple e.g. one virtio-iommu alongside a virtual VT-d or a virtual smmu. It might be clearer to claim that (as Robin pointed out) there is plenty more significant problems than this to solve instead of simply saying that only one iommu driver is possible if we don't have explicit code to reject such configuration.

IDK it seems wrong that the system today will allow different buses to have different IOMMU drivers and not provide a trivial protection check. > FWIW my iommu/bus dev branch has got as far as the final bus ops removal and > allowing multiple driver registrations, and before it allows that, it does > now have the common attach check that I sketched out in the previous > discussion of this.

Yes, the vfio check is not good anymore. Jason

The domain->ops validation was added, as a precaution, for mixed-driver systems. However, at this moment only one iommu driver is possible. So remove it. Per discussion with Robin, in future when many can be permitted we will rely on the IOMMU core code to check the domain->ops: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/6575de6d-94ba-c427-5b1e-967750ddff23@arm.com/ Signed-off-by: Nicolin Chen <nicolinc@nvidia.com> --- drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c | 32 +++++++++++--------------------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-)
