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. ?> > 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 at arm.com/ > > Signed-off-by: Nicolin Chen <nicolinc at nvidia.com>Apart from that, Reviewed-by: Kevin Tian <kevin.tian at intel.com>
