Unless that context does exist.  Take for example a basic topology:

-[0000:00]-+-00.0
           +-01.0-[01]----00.0
           +-02.0-[02]----00.0

Assume 00:01.0 and 00:02.0 are root ports and 01:00.0 and 02:00.0 are
their respective downstream endpoint.  A single iommu would typically
handle both of these endpoints using the requester ID, aka stream ID, to
reference the appropriate context.  Source validation at the root port
makes sure that any forwarded transaction has a requester ID that falls
between the secondary and subordinate bus number range of the root
port.  For instance, if device 01:00.0 was able to generate a
transaction with a requester ID of 02:00.0, source validation at the
root port would generate an ACS violation.  If the root port does not
support source validation, the transaction might successfully reference
the iommu context for the other endpoint.  Therefore I don't understand
what property of the SMMU is able to prevent this spoofing technique if
the root port provides no protection on its own.  Thanks,
