Series vfio/iommu_type1: Some optimizations about dirty tracking | expand

Commit Message

For now there are 3 ways to promote the pinned_page_dirty_scope
status of vfio_iommu:

1. Through vfio pin interface.
2. Detach a group without pinned_dirty_scope.
3. Attach a group with pinned_dirty_scope.

For point 3, the only chance to promote the pinned_page_dirty_scope
status is when vfio_iommu is newly created. As we can safely set
empty vfio_iommu to be at pinned status, then the point 3 can be
removed to reduce operations.

This would be resolved automatically if we used the counter approach I
mentioned on the previous patch, adding a pinned-page scope group simply
wouldn't increment the iommu counter, which would initially be zero
indicating no "all-dma" groups.  Thanks,

Sure, I will do that, thanks.
