Following LPC discussions, we now report reserved regions through iommu-group sysfs reserved_regions attribute file. Reserved regions are populated through the IOMMU get_resv_region callback (former get_dm_regions), now implemented by amd-iommu, intel-iommu and arm-smmu. The intel-iommu reports the [FEE0_0000h - FEF0_000h] MSI window as an IOMMU_RESV_NOMAP reserved region. arm-smmu reports the MSI window (arbitrarily located at 0x8000000 and 1MB large) and the PCI host bridge windows. The series integrates a not officially posted patch from Robin: "iommu/dma: Allow MSI-only cookies". This series currently does not address IRQ safety assessment.I will respin this series taking into account Joerg's comment. Does anyone have additional comments or want to put forward some conceptual issues with the current direction and with this implementation? As for the IRQ safety assessment, in a first step I would propose to remove the IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP from arm-smmus and consider the assignment as unsafe. Any objection?
Well, yeah, because it's perfectly safe with GICv3. Will
