Hi Oleksandr,

Please try to configure the mail client to quote with '>'. Using tab for quoting make it quite difficult to follow.

Agree.

As we update page table in an atomic way (no BBM sequence) and the
reason caused page faults was found, I think that the IPMMU driver can
declare superpage capability?

Yes for the IPMMU driver. Although we would have to do some things for the SMMU driver.
