Jason,
Thanks for replies, clarifications...
Couple questions below.

So, the former pci_device_group() is completely re-written below,
and what it use to do is renamed pci_get_alias_group(), which shouldn't be
(easily) confused with ...

+{
+	struct iommu_group *group;
+	DECLARE_BITMAP(devfns, 256) = {};
   	/*
   	 * Look for existing groups on device aliases.  If we alias another
   	 * device or another device aliases us, use the same group.
   	 */
-	group = get_pci_alias_group(pdev, (unsigned long *)devfns);
+	group = get_pci_alias_group(pdev, devfns);
... get_pci_alias_group() ?

... and it's only used for PCIe case below (in pci_device_group), so
should it be named 'pcie_get_alias_group()' ?

Well, the naming is alot better after this is reworked with the
reachable set patch and these two functions are removed.

Didn't notice that... will re-look.

But even then I guess it is not a great name.

How about:

/*
  * Return a group if the function has isolation restrictions related to
  * aliases or MFD ACS.
  */
static struct iommu_group *pci_get_function_group(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{

sure...

+static struct iommu_group *pci_hierarchy_group(struct pci_dev *pdev)
although static, could you provide a function description for its purpose ?

/* Return a group if the upstream hierarchy has isolation restrictions. */

+	/*
+	 * !self is only for SRIOV virtual busses which should have been
+	 * excluded above.
by pci_is_root_bus() ?? -- that checks if bus->parent exists...
not sure how that excludes the case of !bus->self ...

Should be this:

	/*
	 * !self is only for SRIOV virtual busses which should have been
	 * excluded by pci_physfn()
	 */
	if (WARN_ON(!bus->self))

my Linux tree says its this:
static inline bool pci_is_root_bus(struct pci_bus *pbus)
{
        return !(pbus->parent);
}

is there a change to pci_is_root_bus() in a -next branch?

+	 */
+	if (WARN_ON(!bus->self))
+		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
+
+	group = iommu_group_get(&bus->self->dev);
+	if (!group) {
+		/*
+		 * If the upstream bridge needs the same group as pdev then
+		 * there is no way for it's pci_device_group() to discover it.
+		 */
+		dev_err(&pdev->dev,
+			"PCI device is probing out of order, upstream bridge device of %s is not probed yet\n",
+			pci_name(bus->self));
+		return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);
+	}
+	if (group->bus_data & BUS_DATA_PCI_NON_ISOLATED)
+		return group;
+	iommu_group_put(group);
+	return NULL;
... and w/o the function description, I don't follow:
-- rtn an iommu-group if it has NON_ISOLATED property ... but rtn null if all devices below it are isolated?

Yes. For all these internal functions non null means we found a group
to join, NULL means to keep checking isolation rules.

ah, so !group == keep looking for for non-isolated conditions.. got it.
Could that lead to two iommu-groups being created that could/should be one larger one?

Thanks,
Jason
