[PATCH v2 0/2] intel-iommu: Fix domain_ids exhaustion

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Wed Feb 16 2011 - 15:40:28 EST


When we unbind a device from a driver, we don't properly unlink
the domain from the iommu, so we never free the domain id it
was using. We're typically limited to something like 256 domain
ids, so a loop of unbinding and rebinding a device can exhaust
this pretty quickly. If we're assigning the device to a KVM
guest, libvirt does exactly this each time the device is removed
from the host driver or added back. When we do run out, we oops
the kernel. Fix these.

v2:

We only want to call domain_exit() for domains automatically created
via the dma ops path. VM and SI domains have their own life cycle
and should not be destroyed here. With v1, if a device was unbound
from pci-stub while assigned to a VM, the kernel would oops on the
next call into iommu ops.

BTW, should we even be removing the device from the domain in the
VM domain case? Drivers and VM domains are (unfortunately) orthogonal
concepts here with the way KVM is currently wired. Thanks,

Alex
