I am not sure that I fully get your point. But I can't see any gaps of
using iommu_dev_enable/disable_feature() to switch dirty log on and off.
Probably I missed anything.
IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_HWDBM just tells user whether underlying IOMMU driver supports
dirty tracking, it is not used to management the status of dirty log tracking.

The feature reporting is per device, but the status management is per 
iommu_domain.
Only when all devices in a domain support HWDBM, we can start dirty log for the 
domain.

So why not

        for_each_device_attached_domain()
                iommu_dev_enable_feature(IOMMU_DEV_FEAT_HWDBM)

?

And I think we'd better not mix the feature reporting and status management. 
Thoughts?


I am worrying about having two sets of APIs for single purpose. From
vendor iommu driver's point of view, this feature is per device. Hence,
it still needs to do the same thing.

Best regards,
baolu
