Hi Baolu, I'll add an attribution in iommu_domain, and the vendor iommu driver will update the attribution when attach/detach devices. The attribute should be protected by a lock, so the upper layer shouldn't access the attribute directly. Then the iommu_domain_support_dirty_log() still should be retained. Does this design looks good to you? Thanks, Keqian
