Hi Robin,

Yes. This is exactly what I am worried about and what this patch wants
to solve.

I don't want to make the map/unmap interface more complex or inefficient
because of a debugfs feature. I hope that the debugfs and map/unmap
interfaces are orthogonal, just like the IOMMU hardware traversing the
page tables, as long as the accessed physical address is valid and
accessible. Otherwise, stop the traversal immediately. If we can't
achieve this, I'd rather stop supporting this debugfs node.

Perhaps I can check this from the page flags?

This will hold the group mutex when the callback is invoked. With the
group mutex hold, the domain could not get changed.

__show_device_domain_translation() only dumps mappings once as it always
returns 1.
