Do we need to deal with the > IOMMU enabled after vhost starts? sorry I initially misunderstood the above comment. Indeed in the reboot case assumption 2) happens to be wrong. However what I currently do is: stop listening to iotlb miss requests from the kernel because my understanding is those requests are just spurious ones, generate warnings and we do not care since we are rebooting the system. However I do not claim this could handle the case where the IOMMU MR would be turned off and then turned on. I think in that case we should also flush the kernel IOTLB and this is not taken care of in this patch. Is it a relevant use case? wrt removing assumption 1) and allow IOMMU enabled after vhost start. Is that a valid use case as the virtio driver is using the dma api?
