Got it, I assume we can adjust the system set quota as necessary.

I guess shared contexts means shared address? then it makes sense
#IOASID < #ASID.

Is there a host-guest PASID translation? or the PASID used by the VM is
physical PASID? When a page request comes in to SMMU, how does it know
the owner of the PASID if PASID range can overlap between host and
guest?

Yes, perhaps just add a flag such that the set has its own namespace.
You mean have this quota-free IOASID set even co-exist with VMs? I still
don't get how PRQ works.

That is not the use case for VT-d in that we have to have system-wide
allocation for host PASIDs. We have enqcmd which can take a PASID from
the per task MSR and deliver to multiple devices, so even though the
PASID table is per device the PASID name space must be global.

I agree we don;t need the quota if we don't support guest SVA at the
same time.

So the sva set and aux_domain set PASIDs have their own namespaces?

Sounds good. Perhaps remove the special "system set". SVA code,
VFIO, VT-d, or SMMU driver can all allocate their own sets.
So to meet both SMMU and VT-d requirements, we should do:
1. add an IOASID_PRIVATE flag to ioasid_alloc_set(), indicating this is
a private set
2. All APIs operate on the set_id accordingly, e.g. ioasid_find() will
only search within the private set. Private set is excluded from from
global search (VT-d needs this in PRQ).

Since VT-d already needs private PASIDs for guest SVM where
GPASID!=HPASID, I feel we can just reuse the per ioasid_set Xarray for
both quota-free private set and guest set.


Thanks for the feedback!
