[RFC PATCH 3/5] drm/amdgpu: set passthrough mode for xen pvh/hvm
Posted by Huang Rui 2 years, 11 months ago
There is an second stage translation between the guest machine address
and host machine address in Xen PVH/HVM. The PCI bar address in the xen
guest kernel are not translated at the second stage on Xen PVH/HVM, so
it's not the real physical address that hardware would like to know, so
we need to set passthrough mode for Xen PVH/HVM as well.

I'm confused by the sentence above, do you think it could be reworded
or expanded to clarify?

PCI BAR addresses are not in the guest kernel, but rather in the
physical memory layout made available to the guest.

Also, I'm unsure why xen_initial_domain() needs to be used in the
conditional below: all PV domains handle addresses the same, so if
it's not needed for a PV dom0 it's likely not needed for a PV domU
either.  Albeit it would help to know more about what
AMDGPU_PASSTHROUGH_MODE implies.

Thanks, Roger.
