...ce if Linux virtio Just Worked under Xen, though Xen's IOMMU is outside the virtio spec. Since virtio_pci can be a module, obvious hacks like having xen_arch_setup initialize a dma_ops pointer exposed by virtio_pci.c is out. I think the best approach is to have a new feature bit (25 is free), VIRTIO_F_USE_BUS_MAPPING which indicates that a device really wants to use the mapping for the bus it is on. A real device would set this, or it won't work behind an IOMMU. A Xen device would also set this. Thoughts? Rusty. PS. I cc'd OASIS virtio-dev: it's subscriber only for IP reasons (to subscribe...

...rtio could probe for xen, it's not a lot of code. We could, but I think this is going to be a more general problem in future. x86 is heading down the IOMMU path, and they're likely to suffer similarly. >> I think the best approach is to have a new feature bit (25 is free), >> VIRTIO_F_USE_BUS_MAPPING which indicates that a device really wants to >> use the mapping for the bus it is on.
