Subject: [PATCH v3 23/25] iommu: Merge strictness and domain type configs
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2021 18:15:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18f2757675b1a4d74d052b2b211e512ebf6e465e.1628094601.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1628094600.git.robin.murphy@arm.com>
To parallel the sysfs behaviour, merge the new build-time option
for DMA domain strictness into the default domain type choice.

+ some devices also at runtime via sysfs.
If unsure, keep the default.

help
- Support lazy mode, where for every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the
- flush operation of IOTLB and the free operation of IOVA are deferred.
- They are only guaranteed to be done before the related IOVA will be
- reused.
+ Trusted devices use translation to restrict their access to only
+ DMA-mapped pages, but with "lazy" batched TLB invalidation. This
+ mode allows higher performance with some IOMMUs due to reduced TLB
+ flushing, but at the cost of reduced isolation since devices may be
+ able to access memory for some time after it has been unmapped.
+ Equivalent to passing "iommu.passthrough=0 iommu.strict=0" on the
+ command line.
- The isolation provided in this mode is not as secure as STRICT mode,
- such that a vulnerable time window may be created between the DMA
- unmap and the mappings cached in the IOMMU IOTLB or device TLB
- finally being invalidated, where the device could still access the
- memory which has already been unmapped by the device driver.
- However this mode may provide better performance in high throughput
- scenarios, and is still considerably more secure than passthrough
- mode or no IOMMU.
+ If this mode is not supported by the IOMMU driver, the effective
+ runtime default will fall back to IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA_STRICT.

+ Trusted devices are identity-mapped, giving them unrestricted access
