Re: [PATCH] intel-iommu: Don't be too aggressive when clearing one context entry

Hi Filippo,

please change the subject to:

	iommu/vt-d: Don't be too aggressive when clearing one context entry

to follow the convention used in the iommu-tree. Another comment below.

This function is the only caller of clear_context_table(), which does
similar things (like fetching the context-entry) as you are adding
above.

So you can either make clear_context_table() return the old domain-id
so that you don't need to do it here, or you get rid of the function
entirely and add the context_clear_entry() and __iommu_flush_cache()
calls into this code-path.
