But when a domain becomes capable after detaching a device, the upper layer still needs to query it and enable dirty log for it... To make things coordinated, maybe the upper layer can register a notifier, when the domain's capability change, the upper layer do not need to query, instead they just need to realize a callback, and do their specific policy in the callback.

OK, I see. Thanks, Keqian _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
