[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.11] intel_iommu: fix missing BQL in pt fast path

[Peter Xu]

In vtd_switch_address_space() we did the memory region switch, however
it's possible that the caller of it has not taken the BQL at all. Make
sure we have it.

Paolo: I noticed this qemu_mutex_iothread_locked() function, which might
simplify the fix, so I decided to use it. Using bottom half should be ok
as well, but after a second thought it can be complicated: consider the
case when guest firstly triggered the pt fast path then quickly
re-enables the IOMMU region before the bottom half being executed. Then
looks like we need special care on the sync of bottom half task as well.
That's over-complicated I guess (if with that, I'd prefer to remove the
pt fast path since it's even not really the default path when pt is
used...). Please let me know if you don't think so.
