[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vhost: do not verify ring mappings when IOMMU is enabled

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

When IOMMU is enabled, we store virtqueue metadata as iova (though it
may has _phys suffix) and access them through dma helpers. Any
translation failures could be reported by IOMMU.

In this case, trying to validate iova against gpa won't work and will
cause a false error reporting. So this patch bypasses the ring
verification if IOMMU is enabled which is similar to the behavior
before 0ca1fd2d6878 that calls vhost_memory_map() which is a nop when
IOMMU is enabled.

Fixes: 0ca1fd2d6878 ("vhost: Simplify ring verification checks")
