I understand this part. I having written the IOMMU support for 4 different IOMMUs, all of which had exactly one IO Page Table and one IOMMU shared by many devices. > Just make sure that it will be possible to attach more than one sysmmu > controller to one iommu domain. I don't understand how this is possible. Can someone explain this better in the IOMMU documentation please? "iommu domain" to me means one virtual IO address space for attached devices that can master DMA transactions. The IOMMU then uses it's IO Page Table to translate the DMA address to the system physical address space and forwards the transaction. What is the role of the sysmmu in all of this? Is the sysmmu just the MMU (or collection of MMU) for host DRAM? Or is sysmmu responsible for "other stuff"? (clocks, power domains, MMU, etc) I can understand we might have multiple MMUs in a system...e.g. every range of memory might have it's own MMU. But they share the same physical address space and generally live under one page table. Because of "one page table" I would consider them one entity from the the IOMMUs perspective. thanks, grant -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
