Hi Kevin,

OK, I see your point. It essentially refers to a singleton group which
is immutable to hotplug.
Yes, known at creation time, not retroactively enforced because
someone used SVA

We may check following conditions to set the immutable flag when
a new group is created for a device in pci_device_group():

1) ACS is enabled in the upstream path of the device;
2) the device is single function or ACS is enabled on a multi-function device;
3) the device type is PCI_EXP_TYPE_ENDPOINT (thus no hotplug);
4) no 'dma aliasing' on this device;

The last one is a bit conservative as it also precludes a device which aliasing
dma due to quirks from being treated as a singleton group. But doing so
saves the effort on trying to separate different aliasing scenarios as defined
in pci_for_each_dma_alias(). Probably we can go this way as the first step.

Once the flag is set on a group no other event can change it. If a new
identified device hits an existing singleton group in pci_device_group()
then it's a bug.

How about below implementation?

/* callback for pci_for_each_dma_alias() */
static int has_pci_alias(struct pci_dev *pdev, u16 alias, void *opaque)
{
return -EEXIST;
}

static bool pci_dev_is_immutably_isolated(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
/* Skip bridges. */
if (pci_is_bridge(pdev))
return false;

/* Either connect to root bridge or the ACS-enabled bridge. */
if (!pci_is_root_bus(pdev->bus) &&
!pci_acs_enabled(pdev->bus->self, REQ_ACS_FLAGS))
return false;

/* ACS is required for MFD. */
if (pdev->multifunction && !pci_acs_enabled(pdev, REQ_ACS_FLAGS))
return false;

/* Make sure no PCI alias. */
if (pci_for_each_dma_alias(pdev, has_pci_alias, NULL))
return false;

return true;
}

I didn't get why do we need to check the PCI_EXP_TYPE_ENDPOINT device
type. Can you please elaborate a bit more?

Best regards,
