Subject: RE: [PATCH 3/7] iommu/arm-smmu: Add tlb_sync implementation hook

>> +	if (smmu->impl->tlb_sync) {
>> +		smmu->impl->tlb_sync(smmu, page, sync, status);

>What I'd hoped is that rather than needing a hook for this, you could just override smmu_domain->tlb_ops from .init_context to wire up the alternate .sync method directly. That would save this extra level of indirection.

Hi Robin,  overriding tlb_ops->tlb_sync function is not enough here.
There are direct references to arm_smmu_tlb_sync_context(),  arm_smmu_tlb_sync_global() functions.
In arm-smmu.c.  we can replace these direct references with tlb_ops->tlb_sync() function except in one function arm_smmu_device_reset().  
When arm_smmu_device_reset() gets called, domains are not initialized and tlb_ops is not available. 
Should we add a new hook for arm_smmu_tlb_sync_global() or make this as a responsibility of impl->reset() hook as it gets
called at the same place?
