Subject: [PATCH v5 4/9] iommufd: Allow binding to a noiommu device
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 11:41:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511184116.3687392-5-jacob.pan@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511184116.3687392-1-jacob.pan@linux.microsoft.com>

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>

Allow iommufd to bind devices without an IOMMU (noiommu mode) by creating
a dummy IOMMU group for such devices and skipping hwpt operations.

This enables noiommu devices to operate through the same iommufd API as IOMMU-
capable devices.

---
v5:
   - simplify logic and rename iommufd_device_is_noiommu (Kevin, Yi)
   - use a helper iommufd_bind_noiommu instead of open coding (Kevin)
   - move IOMMU cap check under iommufd_bind_iommu() (Yi)
   - reword comments for partial init (Yi)
   - misc minor clean up
v4:
   - Update the description of the module parameter (Alex)
v3:
   - Consolidate into fewer patches
