Subject: RE: [PATCH ACS v4 1/1] Enabling PCI ACS P2P upstream forwarding

Thanks Chris, I was not aware of these two functions.  I have made the following change:

	if (iommu_found() || xen_initial_domain())
		pci_enable_acs(dev);

xen_intial_domain() should take care of dom0 case.  We just make the rough assumption that P2P upstream forwarding is needed if we are running on top of xen HV - similar to what we are doing for native kernel case.

If this is ok, I'm going to re-spin the patch.  Separate out xen_initial_domain() modification since it is predicated on Jeremy's xen.h patch.

This should not be needed.

Nor this (there's already a check for is dom0 called xen_initial_domain(),
but unclear it's relevant yet for this patch).

I think you'd want iommu_found() instead.  To avoid, e.g., GART
triggering this one.

could do this (xen_initial_domain()) above, but it's only relevant for
dom0 (so not needed yet?), and really seems to like it should be done by hv.

thanks,
