Agreed. We couldn't assume that all devices in an iommu group shares a
same iommu_device, especially when it comes to PF/VF wrapped mediated
device case.

This looks good to me.

Another possible implementation, just for discussion purpose:
1. Add a member in group_device to save the iommu_device if it exists:
diff --git a/drivers/iommu/iommu.c b/drivers/iommu/iommu.c
index b6858adc4f17..6474e82cf4b4 100644
--- a/drivers/iommu/iommu.c
+++ b/drivers/iommu/iommu.c
@@ -47,9 +47,16 @@ struct iommu_group {
struct list_head entry;
};
+/*
+ * dma_alias: The device put in this group might depends on another
+ * physical device to do the DMA remapping. At(de)taching
+ * the domain to/from @dma_alias instead of @dev if
+ * @dma_alias is set.
+ */
struct group_device {
struct list_head list;
struct device *dev;
+ struct device *dma_alias;
char *name;
};
2. Pass in the iommu_device when calling iommu_group_add_device().
int iommu_group_add_device(struct iommu_group *group,
struct device *dev,
struct device *dma_alias)
Hence, the iommu core could get a chance to set the iommu_device in the
group device.
3. Mimic vfio_mdev_attach_domain() logic in iommu_group_do_attach_device():
if (group->dma_alias) {
if (iommu_dev_feature_enabled(group->dma_alias, IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_AUX))
iommu_aux_attach_device(domain, group->dma_alias);
else
__iommu_attach_device(domain, group->dma_alias);
} else {
__iommu_attach_device(domain, dev);
}
One limitation is that the driver should call mdev_set_iommu_device()
before the mdev_probe() get called.
Best regards,
baolu
