One Line Summary

Discuss current issues in PCI<->IOMMU interaction.

Abstract

While the PCI and IOMMU systems work together almost smoothly, there are some rough edges on both sides which could be improved. This proposal is about discussing possible solutions. Some of the current issues are:

  • Relaxing IOMMU-group constraints for in-kernel users
  • Invisible devices (transparent bridges)
  • Making individual IOMMUs visible to the PCI/Device core?
  • More unified setup of dma-ops for (PCI-)devices

There is probably more issues from the other attendees to discuss in this session.
