Subject: [PATCH 00/10 v2] Cleanup IOMMU passthrough setting (and disable IOMMU Passthrough when SME is active)
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:38:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190814133841.7095-1-joro@8bytes.org> (raw)

Hi,

This patch-set started out small to overwrite the default passthrough
setting (through CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH=y) when SME is active.

But on the way to that Tom reminded me that the current ways to
configure passthrough/no-passthrough modes for IOMMU on x86 is a mess.
So I added a few more patches to clean that up a bit, getting rid of the
iommu_pass_through variable on the way.This information is now kept only
in iommu code, with helpers to change that setting from architecture
code.

And of course this patch-set still disables IOMMU Passthrough mode when
SME is active even when CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH=y is set.

The reason for that change is that SME with passthrough mode turned out
to be fragile with devices requiring SWIOTLB, mainly because SWIOTLB has
a maximum allocation size of 256kb and a limit overall size of the
bounce buffer.

Therefore having IOMMU in translation mode by default is better when SME
is active on a system.

Please review.

Thanks,

	Joerg

Changes since v1:

	- Cleaned up the kernel command line parameters to
	  configure passthrough/translated mode, getting rid
	  of the global iommu_pass_through variable

Joerg Roedel (10):
  iommu: Add helpers to set/get default domain type
  iommu/amd: Request passthrough mode from IOMMU core
  iommu/vt-d: Request passthrough mode from IOMMU core
  x86/dma: Get rid of iommu_pass_through
  ia64: Get rid of iommu_pass_through
  iommu: Remember when default domain type was set on kernel command
    line
  iommu: Print default domain type on boot
  iommu: Set default domain type at runtime
  iommu: Disable passthrough mode when SME is active
