RID_PASID field was introduced in VT-d 3.0 spec, it is used for DMA requests w/o PASID in scalable mode VT-d. It is also known as IOVA. And in VT-d 3.1 spec, there is further definition on it:
"Implementations not supporting RID_PASID capability (ECAP_REG.RPS is 0b), use a PASID value of 0 to perform address translation for requests without PASID." This patch adds a check on the PASIDs which are going to be bound to device. For PASID #0, no need to passdown pasid binding since PASID #0 is used as RID_PASID for requests without pasid. Reason is current Intel vIOMMU supports guest IOVA by shadowing guest 2nd level page table. However, in future, if guest OS uses 1st level page table to store IOVA mappings, thus guest IOVA support will also be done via nested translation in host side. Then vIOMMU could passdown the pasid binding for PASID #0 to host with a special PASID value. A special PASID value is to indicate host to bind the guest page table to a proper PASID. e.g PASID value from RID_PASID field for PF/VF or default PASID for ADI (Assignable Device Interface in Scalable IOV solution).
