Hey,

I’ve been investigating the relationship between iommu groups and domains
on our systems and have a few question. Why does the intel iommu code not
allow allocating IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA? Returning NULL when given this domain
type has the side effect that the default_domain for an iommu group is not
set, which, when using for e.g. dma_map_ops.map_page, means a domain is
allocated per device.

Intel vt-d driver doesn't implement the default domain and allocates
domain only on demanded. There are lots of things to do before we allow
iommu API to allocate domains other than IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED.

This seems to be the opposite behaviour to the AMD iommu code which
supports allocating an IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA and will only look to the iommu
group if a domain is not attached to the device rather than allocating a
new one. On AMD every device in an iommu group will share the same domain.

Appended is what I think a patch to implement domain_alloc for
IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA and also IOMMU_DOMAIN_IDENTITY would look like. Testing
shows each device in a group will share a domain by default, it also
allows allocating a new dma domain that can be successfully attached to a
group with iommu_attach_group.

Looking for comment on why the behaviour is how it is currently and if
there are any issues with the solution I’ve been testing.

Cheers,
James.
