Is MEV available only in nested mode? Otherwise it perhaps makes sense to turn it on in all configurations in IOMMUFD paths...I think the arm-smmu-v3's iommufd implementation only supports nested which could be the reason.I guess what Kevin says is that non-nested STE should set the MEV as well, e.g. BYPASS and ABORT, and perhaps stage-1-only case too where the attaching domain = UNMANAGED.
Ohh okay, got it. Thanks! Praan
