Thanks, Yes, I agree free all pasids of a guest is a useful interface. Since all PASIDs under one VM is already tracked by an IOASID set with its XArray, I don't see a need to track again in VFIO. Shall we only free one & free all? IMHO, free range isn't that useful and not really symmetric to PASID allocation in that allocation is one at a time. Can we just add a new flag, e.g. VFIO_IOMMU_FREE_ALL_PASID, and ignored th range in free? _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
