Thanks for the explanation.

This is actually the problem that commit 201007ef707a was trying to fix.
The PCIe fabric routes Memory Requests based on the TLP address,
ignoring any PASID (PCIe r6.0, sec 2.2.10.4), so a TLP with PASID that
should go upstream to the IOMMU may instead be routed as a P2P
Request if its address falls in a bridge window.

In SVA case, the IOMMU shares the address space of a user application.
The user application side has no knowledge about the PCI bridge window.
It is entirely possible that the device is programed with a P2P address
and results in a disaster.
