I am not sure whether you are referring to the current ioasid.c or the
changes proposed in this patchset. I added a per VM/ioasid_set
(also per /dev/ioasid fd) xarray to store guest-host PASID mapping.

The current code has a xarray for the allocators.

struct ioasid_allocator_data {
	struct ioasid_allocator_ops *ops;
	struct list_head list;
	struct list_head slist;
#define IOASID_ALLOCATOR_CUSTOM BIT(0) /* Needs framework to track results */
	unsigned long flags;
	struct xarray xa;
	struct rcu_head rcu;
};

Could you elaborate?

Thanks,

Jacob
