Above you say the host has 2 SMMUv3 devices, and you've created 2 SMMUv3
guest devices to match.

The various emails in this thread & libvirt thread, indicate that each
guest SMMUv3 is associated with a host SMMUv3, but I don't see any
property on the command line for 'arm-ssmv3-nested' that tells it which
host eSMMUv3 it is to be associated with.

How does this association work ?


With regards,
Daniel
