PCI/IMS works like PCI/MSI-X in the remapping. Just add the feature flag.

vIR is already available on vIOMMU today [1].

Fortunately both intel/amd IOMMU has a way to detect whether it's a vIOMMU.

For intel it's cap_caching_mode().

For AMD it's amd_iommu_np_cache.

Then MSI_FLAG_PCI_IMS should be set only on physical IOMMU.

In the future once we have hypercall then it can be set on vIOMMU too.

Ok. Let me fix that then.

But that made me read back some more.

Jason said, that the envisioned Mellanox use case does not depend on the
IOMMU because the card itself has one which takes care of the
protections.

How are we going to resolve that dilemma?

Thanks,

Fair enough.

Let me put the limitation into effect then.

Right, but that doesn't mean we need the physical iommu turned
off. Setting the mlx pci device to identity mode is usually enough to
get back to full performance.

The outcome is we don't have a strategy right now to make IMS work in
VMs. This series is all about making it work on physical machines,
that has to be a good first step.

I'm hoping the OCP work stream on SIOV will tackle how to fix the
interrupt problems. Some of the ideas I've seen could be formed into
something that would work in a VM.

yes. IR can be enabled orthogonal to DMA mapping mode in IOMMU.

yes, that is the point. As long as IMS is disabled in the guest it's already
a good first step for the moment.
