Understood. But I still get the following confusion:
As one application takes a whole function while using VFIO-PCI, why do
the application and the
function need to enable PASID capability? (Since just one I/O page table
is enough for them.)
Maybe I misunderstood, hope you can help me clear it. Thank you very much.
Thanks,
Zaibo
