With assigned devices, IOMMU page tables actually hold the same mappings as TDP in KVM if IOMMU shadowed page table is not required. Sharing IOMMU page tables with TDP has the advantages of reduced memory footprint, unified page table for dirty page tracking during migration and page fault handling, probably higher performance by reducing unnecessary EPT/NPT zap, EPT/NPT pre-population, etc… This topic researches the challenges in both KVM and IOMMU subsystems and proposes an architecture to achieve this.
