Hi Stefano,

The Title of the commit message is now wrong.

Thanks, I didn't notice.

Introduce two arch specific functions to create a new p2m mapping of
granted pages at pfn == mfn.
The x86 implementation just returns ENOSYS.

This is not the right p2m type to use here. p2m_ram_{rw,ro} allow foreign
mapping. So another guest could access to the grant.

I would use p2m_iommu_map_{rw,ro}.


I see. I'll make the change and add a comment to explain why we are
using p2m_iommu types for non-iommu related mappings.

The code to add the 1:1 mapping for the SMMU is very ugly. I was wondering if
we could drop the iommu_map_page callback and
directly use arch_grant_map_page_identity in all the case.

It would avoid the if/else in the grant code.

Thing is arch_grant_map_page_identity has nothing to do with IOMMUs. It
gets confusing, especially on x86 where people don't know why we need
this. The if/else is ugly but clearer.
See also the previous email exchange with Jan.

Ok. So could we call this function from iommu_map_page on the SMMU? It would at least avoid duplicating the code?
