[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.10 0/5] x86/vIOMMU: move init back to machine init phase

[Peter Xu]

At the very beginning, the x86 vIOMMUs are created via "-M iommu=on".
We moved one step further a year ago to have the vIOMMUs just like a
general device, so that we can init them with far more specific
parameters with "-device" interface.

However, gradually we found that problem starts to occur due to this.
The main issue is that the DMA address space of any PCI device is
postponed to be init after device realization, while some devices'
realizations would depend on this address space. That looks like a
dead lock. We have patches and solutions for different single problem,
but, maybe it's time we can consider to solve the root cause this
time, of course after 2.9 release.

This series tries to solve the root cause, and move vIOMMU inits back
to machine init for x86 platforms. Then, we'll have solid DMA address
space for each device even during realization.

Please kindly review. Thanks.
