Thanks, it is much better than what I proposed.

yep, thanks.

Oops, good catch. :-)

What error did you encounter. I tested the patch with a device in a
singleton iommu group. I'm also searching a proper machine with
multiple devices in an iommu group and test it.

I don't think there should have such limitation. Per my understanding,
vfio-mdev-pci should also be able to bind to devices which shares
iommu group with other devices. vfio-pci works well for such devices.
And since the two drivers share most of the codes, I think vfio-mdev-pci
should naturally support it as well.

yeah, I think we need to support it.

Agreed, we need to avoid such duplicated attach. Instead of adding
reference counted object in vfio_group. I'm also considering the logic
below:

    /*
      * Do this check in vfio_iommu_type1_attach_group(), after mdev_group
      * is initialized.
      */
    if (vfio_group->mdev_group) {
         /*
           * vfio_group->mdev_group is true means vfio_group->iommu_group
           * is not the actual iommu_group which is going to be attached to
           * domain. To avoid duplicate iommu_group attach, needs to check if
           * the actual iommu_group. vfio_get_parent_iommu_group() is a
           * newly added helper function which returns the actual attach
           * iommu_group going to be attached for this mdev group.
              */
         p_iommu_group = vfio_get_parent_iommu_group(
                                                                         vfio_group->iommu_group);
         list_for_each_entry(d, &iommu->domain_list, next) {
                 if (find_iommu_group(d, p_iommu_group)) {
                         mutex_unlock(&iommu->lock);
                         // skip group attach;
                 }
         }

Agreed. Will test it. And thanks for the fix patch below. I've test it
with a device in a singleton iommu group. Need to test the scenario
you mentioned above. :-)

Thanks,
