The case where the IOMMU does not support snoop-control for such a device already works fine, we can't prevent no-snoop so KVM will emulate wbinvd. The harder one is if we should opt to allow no-snoop even if the IOMMU does support snoop-control. > > > > This support existed before mdev, IIRC we needed it for direct > > > > assignment of NVIDIA GPUs. > > > > > > Probably because they ignored the disable no-snoop bits in the control > > > block, or reset them in some insane way to "fix" broken bioses and > > > kept using it even though by all rights qemu would have tried hard to > > > turn it off via the config space.

The mechanics are different, but this is pretty similar in concept to KVM learning coherence using the groupfd today. Do we want to compromise on kernel control of wbinvd emulation to allow userspace to make such decisions? Ownership of a device might be reason enough to allow the user that privilege. Thanks, Alex
