I agree that there is currently a lack of distinction between what
domain types can be used (capability) and which should be used as
default (iommu.strict=<x>, iommu_set_...(), CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA,
ops->def_domain_type.).
My case though is about the latter which I think has some undocumented
and surprising precedences built in at the moment. With this series we
can use all of IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA(_FQ, _SQ) on any PCI device but we want
to default to either IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA_FQ or IOMMU_DOMAIN_SQ based on
whether we're running in a paging hypervisor (z/VM or KVM) to get the
best performance. From a semantic point of view I felt that this is a
good match for ops->def_domain_type in that we pick a default but it's
still possible to change the domain type e.g. via sysfs. Now this had
the problem that ops->def_domain_type would cause IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA_FQ
to be used even if iommu_set_dma_strict() was called (via
iommu.strict=1) because there is a undocumented override of ops-
>def_domain_type over iommu_def_domain_type which I believe comes from
the mixing of capability and default you also point at.
I think ideally we need two separate mechanism to determine which
domain types can be used for a particular device (capability) and for
which one to default to with the latter part having a clear precedence
between the options. Put together I think iommu.strict=1 should
override a device's preference (ops->def_domain_type) and
CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA to use IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA but of course only if
the device is capable of that. Does that sound reasonable?
