[PATCH V3] vhost: correctly turn on VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM
Posted by Jason Wang 4 years, 2 months ago
We turn on device IOTLB via VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM unconditionally on
platform without IOMMU support. This can lead unnecessary IOTLB
transactions which will damage the performance.

Fixing this by check whether the device is backed by IOMMU and disable
device IOTLB.

Changes from V2:

- tested with guest kernel virtio drivers + vIOMMU
Changes from V1:
- do not check acked_features
- reuse vhost_dev_has_iommu()
