Yes, would be nice. There is just no quick way to know if this real system supports IOMMU groups. I could add another helper to generic IOMMU code which would return the number of registered IOMMU groups but it is a bit too much :) >> >>> @@ -939,6 +940,9 @@ struct kvm_s390_ucas_mapping { >> >>> #define KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR _IOW(KVMIO, 0xe2, struct >> >>> kvm_device_attr) >> >>> #define KVM_HAS_DEVICE_ATTR _IOW(KVMIO, 0xe3, struct >> >>> kvm_device_attr) >> >>> >> >>> +/* ioctl for SPAPR TCE IOMMU */ >> >>> +#define KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU _IOW(KVMIO, 0xe4, struct >> >>> kvm_create_spapr_tce_iommu) >> >> >> >> Shouldn't this go under the vm ioctl section? >> >> >> The KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU ioctl (the version for emulated devices) is >> in this section so I decided to keep them together.
