I think it is necessary, because without tracking domain IDs, the code
above would have duplicated invalidations.
For example: a device PASID table has the following entries
PASID DomainID
-------------------------
100 1
200 1
300 2
-------------------------
When a present context entry changes, we need to do:
qi_flush_pasid_cache(iommu, 1, QI_PC_ALL_PASIDS, 0);
qi_flush_pasid_cache(iommu, 2, QI_PC_ALL_PASIDS, 0);
With this code, we do
qi_flush_pasid_cache(iommu, 1, QI_PC_ALL_PASIDS, 0);
qi_flush_pasid_cache(iommu, 1, QI_PC_ALL_PASIDS, 0);//duplicated!
qi_flush_pasid_cache(iommu, 2, QI_PC_ALL_PASIDS, 0);
Thanks,
Jacob
