If I grasp the FQ stuff right, it seems that this only requires the
driver to implement ops->flush_iotlb_all()? I don't see anything
obvious in any driver that is specifically _FQ related?
If yes, it makes me wonder why I see drivers implementing
ops->flush_iotlb_all() but not supporting the _FQ domain during alloc?
Further, if yes, wouldn't it make sense to just trigger FQ based on
domain->op->flush_iotlb_all being set?
It seems like there is some confusion here, because I see the sysfs
default domain store path just does this:
/* We can bring up a flush queue without tearing down the domain */
if (type == IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA_FQ && prev_dom->type == IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA) {
ret = iommu_dma_init_fq(prev_dom);
if (!ret)
prev_dom->type = IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA_FQ;
goto out;
}
Which will allow a driver that rejected creating DMA_FQ during alloc
to end up with DMA_FQ anyhow???

I saw this code and wondered what it does?
smmu alloc_domain returns NULL, which if I read everything right
causes NULL to become the default_domain.
But then what happens? This driver has no detach_dev so after, say
VFIO does stuff, how do we get back into whatever boot-time state NULL
represents?
Is it OK because dev_iommu_priv_get() in arm_smmu_attach_dev() will
always fail if legacy? If that is the case then why allow allocating
any domain at all?
It feels like this really wants a 'IOMMU_DOMAIN_PLATFORM_DMA_OPS' set
as the default_domain meaning that when that domain is assigned, the
platform's DMA ops are handling the iommu? If I get it right..
Anyhow, thanks, this sort of helps confirm my feeling that the domain
types are a little crufty..
Thanks,
Jason
