Yeah, that structure only exists in a list owned by the client and we only check the upstream bridge once per entry so I don't see the point. > But then, Why bother searching for the switch at all? Huh? We have to make sure all the client and provider devices are behind the same switch. How can we do that without "searching" for the switch? In the ACS case, we only disable ACS on downstream ports of switches. No sense disabling it globally as that's worse from an isolation point of view and not worth it given we require all P2P transactions to be behind a switch. > Even if the switch is there, there is no guarantee that it is currently > being used for P2P. IOMMU groups are set at boot time and, at present, there's no way to dynamically change ACS bits without messing up the groups. So switches not used for P2P will not have ACS enabled when CONFIG_PCI_P2PDMA is set and I don't know of any good solution to that. Please see the ACS discussions in v1 and v2. > It seems that we are going with the assumption that enabling this config > option implies you want P2P, then we can simplify this code as well. How so?
