[PATCH 2/9] iommu/amd: Ignore BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER event

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Wed Apr 01 2015 - 08:59:40 EST


From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@xxxxxxx>

Detaching a device from its domain at this event is
problematic for several reasons:

* The device might me in an alias group and
detaching it will also detach all other devices in
the group. This removes valid DMA mappings from
the other devices causing io-page-faults and lets
these devices fail.

* Devices might have unity mappings specified by the
IVRS table. These mappings are required for the
device even when no device driver is attached.
Detaching the device from its domain in driver
unbind will also remove these unity mappings.

This patch removes the handling of the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER
event to prevent these issues and align it better with the
behavior of the VT-d driver.
