I guess the reason is that if a group contained a mixture, userspace
could attack the kernel by programming a device to DMA to a device
owned by the kernel?

Maybe I'm missing the point because I don't know what "conflict
between user and kernel controlled DMA" is. Are you talking about
both userspace and the kernel programming the same device to do DMA?

Nit, do we care whether it uses the actual DMA API? Or is it just
that iommu_device_use_dma_api() tells us the driver may program the
device to do DMA?

"Devices" don't call functions. Drivers do, or in this case, it looks
like the bus DMA code (platform, amba, fsl, pci, etc).

These functions are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), but it looks like all the
callers are built-in, so maybe the export is unnecessary?

You use "iommu"/"IOMMU" and "dma"/"DMA" interchangeably above. Would
be easier to read if you picked one.

Can you connect this back to the "never a mixture" from the beginning?
If all you cared about was prevent an IOMMU group from containing
devices with a mixture of kernel drivers and userspace drivers, I
assume you could do that without iommu_device_use_dma_api(). So is
this a way to *allow* a mixture under certain restricted conditions?

Another nit below.

AOL: another "none kernel DMA purpose" that doesn't read well. Is
this supposed to be "non-kernel"? What does "claimed for non-kernel
DMA purpose" mean? What interface does that?
