<content type='text'>
If reset requirement was relaxed via module parameter, errors caused by
missing reset should not be propagated down to the vfio core.
Otherwise initialization will fail.

Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for userspace persistent allocations.

The GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT option lets the memory allocator know that this
is untrusted allocation triggered from userspace and should be a subject
of kmem accounting, and as such it is controlled by the cgroup
mechanism.

<title>vfio-iommufd: Support iommufd for physical VFIO devices</title>

<id>a4d1f91db5021c57e14721ac090616c90386ac70</id>
<content type='text'>
This creates the iommufd_device for the physical VFIO drivers. These are
all the drivers that are calling vfio_register_group_dev() and expect the
type1 code to setup a real iommu_domain against their parent struct
device.

The design gives the driver a choice in how it gets connected to iommufd
by providing bind_iommufd/unbind_iommufd/attach_ioas callbacks to
implement as required. The core code provides three default callbacks for
physical mode using a real iommu_domain. This is suitable for drivers
using vfio_register_group_dev()
