Could you explain this change?

Hyper-V allocates its own swiotlb bounce buffer and the default
swiotlb buffer should not be allocated. swiotlb_init() in pci_swiotlb_init() is to allocate default swiotlb buffer.
To achieve this, put hyperv_swiotlb_detect() as the first entry in the iommu_table_entry list. The detect loop in the pci_iommu_alloc() will exit once hyperv_swiotlb_detect() is called in Hyper-V VM and other iommu_table_entry callback will not be called.



Right. But pci_xen_swiotlb_detect() will only do something for Xen PV guests, and those guests don't run on hyperV. It's either xen_pv_domain() (i.e. hypervisor_is_type(X86_HYPER_XEN_PV)) or hypervisor_is_type(X86_HYPER_MS_HYPERV) but never both. So I don't think there needs to be a dependency between the two callbacks.

Yes, the dependency is between hyperv_swiotlb_detect() and
pci_swiotlb_detect_override()/pci_swiotlb_detect_4gb(). Now
pci_swiotlb_detect_override() and pci_swiotlb_detect_4gb() depends on
pci_xen_swiotlb_detect(). To keep dependency between
hyperv_swiotlb_detect() and pci_swiotlb_detect_override/4gb(), make pci_xen_swiotlb_detect() depends on hyperv_swiotlb_detect() and just to
keep order in the IOMMU table. Current iommu_table_entry only has one
depend callback and this is why I put xen depends on hyperv detect function.

Thanks.
