An IOMMU group is a set of devices for which the IOMMU cannot distinguish transactions. For PCI devices, a group often occurs when a PCI bridge is involved. Transactions from any device behind the bridge appear to be sourced from the bridge itself. We leave it to the IOMMU driver to define the grouping restraints for their platform. Using this new interface, the group for a device can be retrieved using the iommu_device_group() callback. Users will compare the value returned against the value returned for other devices to determine whether they are part of the same group. Devices with no group are not translated by the IOMMU. There should be no expectations about the group numbers as they may be arbitrarily assigned by the IOMMU driver and may not be persistent across boots. We also provide a sysfs interface to the group numbers here so that userspace can understand IOMMU dependencies between devices for managing safe, userspace drivers.
