Looks like you can use as->iommu_state->dmar_enabled &&
!vtd_dev_pt_enabled(as)
vtd_dev_pt_enalbed() needs to read the guest memory (starting from
reading root entry), which is slightly slow. I was trying to avoid
unecessary reads.

I think compiler won't go to vtd_dev_pt_enabled() if dmar_enabled is false.
You are right. I'll switch.

Several questions here:

1) Is this just for vhost?
No. When caching mode is not enabled, all passthroughed devices should
be using this path.
Ok, then it looks better to switch the address space if we've found it was
PT?
Do you mean to switch in that if() above? Then when invalidate context
entry, we switch back if needed?
Yes.
Sure. Do you mind if I put this into another standalone patch? I see
it an enhancement that can be separated from current one. Thanks,


I don't mind. It can be done on top.

Thanks
