Thanks for the review. I know there is another set of patches for pvIOMMU
ongoing (both came from the same source) and you are probably repeating
things, and I appreciate your patience. I'll also try to look for your
comments in that patch series going forward.
Those patches look pretty good so you should try to copy their stuff
:)
They ended up never calling detach, I hope you can do that too. Just
Unfortunately, my case is a bit different due to the "direct attach"
feature for guest VMs. When a device moves from say a paging domain to be
directly attached to a VM, today, it must first be detached. But since
that just moves to identity, I am discussing with hyp team if detach
is really required, and if we can get rid of it via just attaching to
identity/blocked first before doing the direct attach. Hopefully, it
can be done even if changes are needed in the hypervisor.
Thanks again,

always have a blocking or identity domain and just use it everywhere.
Since you can't predict what translation detach gives it should not
be set on a device. release could be the only exception and only if
you reall have to.
