[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/5] Allow memory_region_register_iommu_notifier() to fail

[Eric Auger]

This series allows the memory_region_register_iommu_notifier()
to fail. As of now, when a MAP notifier is attempted to be
registered along with SMMUv3, Intel iommu without caching mode
or AMD IOMMU, we exit in the IOMMU MR notify_flag_changed()
callback. In case of VFIO assigned device hotplug, this could be
handled more nicely directly within the VFIO code, simply rejecting
the hotplug without exiting. This is what the series achieves
by handling the memory_region_register_iommu_notifier() returned
value.

Best Regards

Eric

History:

v1 -> v2:
- Intel IOMMU now handles the problem differently with machine init done
  notifier and machine hotplug allowed hook.
- use assert(!ret)
- message rewording in SMMUv3
