Dear Bjorn,
Thank you for your quick reply.

Though if it was on average 0.008 s/dev here, around a second could be saved.
The integrated Matrox G200eW3 graphics controller (102b:0536) and the two Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5720 2-port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe cards (14e4:165f) take 150 ms to be initialized.

The timestamp in each line differs by around 6 ms. Could printing the messages to the console (VGA) hold this up (line 373 to line 911 makes (6.24 s-2.92 s)/(538 lines) = (3.32 s)/(538 lines) = 6 ms)?

Can the 6 ms – also from your system – be explained by the PCI specification? Seeing how fast PCI nowadays is, 6 ms sounds like a long time. ;-)

Correct, as far as I know of, this is no regression.

The PCI resource assignment(?) also seems to take 670 ms:

There is a lock in `iommu_group_add_device()` in `drivers/iommu/iommu.c`:
mutex_lock(&group->mutex); list_add_tail(&device->list, &group->devices); if (group->domain && !iommu_is_attach_deferred(group->domain, dev)) ret = __iommu_attach_device(group->domain, dev); mutex_unlock(&group->mutex);
No idea, if it’s related. Unfortunately, it’s a production system, so I can’t do any debugging. (Maybe `initcall_debug` could give some insight.) Maybe the IOMMU developers can explain it without it. Could the IOMMU group assignment be done in parallel?

Kind regards,
