I'm not quite get here. Why cache_gen increase only happen in PSI
hook? I think cache_gen used to avoid drop all pasid_as when a pasid
cache reset happened.
Today, I'm trying to replace vtd_pasid_table_walk_info with
VTDPASIDCacheInfo. But I found it may be a little bit strange.
The vtd_pasid_table_walk_info include vtd_bus/devfn/did and a
flag to indicate if did is useful. The final user of the walk
info is vtd_sm_pasid_table_walk_one() which only cares about
the the vtd_bus/devfn/did. But VTDPASIDCacheInfo has an extra
pasid field and also has multiple flag definitions, which are
not necessary for the table work. So it appears to me use
separate structure would be better. Maybe I can show you when
sending out the code.

Sorry to reclaim my reply here. I think here still needs a function (say
vtd_flush_pasid) to check if needs to notify host do unbind. e.g. If guest
unbind a pasid in guest, and issues a GSI (pasid cache), remove_all()
will drop all pasid_as, this would be a problem. The guest unbind will
not be propagated to host. And even we add a replay after it, it can
only shadow the bindings in guest to host, but cannot figure out an
unbind. But I agree with you that vtd_pasid_cache_reset() should drop
all pasid_as but also needs to notify host properly.
