Would you be in favor of a more flexible check along the lines of the one proposed in the patch that started this thread: if (xen_vring_use_dma()) return true; xen_vring_use_dma would be implemented so that it returns true when xen_swiotlb is required and false otherwise. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
