The intel-iommu driver assumes that the iommu state is
cleaned up at the start of the new kernel.
But, when we try to kexec boot something other than the
Linux kernel, the cleanup cannot be relied upon.
Hence, cleanup before we go down for reboot.

Keeping the cleanup at initialization also, in case BIOS
leaves the IOMMU enabled.

I considered turning off iommu only during kexec reboot,
but a clean shutdown seems always a good idea. But if
someone wants to make it conditional, we can do that.

Tested that before, the info message
'DMAR: Translation was enabled for <iommu> but we are not in kdump mode'
would be reported for each iommu. The message will not appear when the
DMA-remapping is not enabled on entry to the kernel.

This check is actually not required here, as the handler is only
installed after these have been checked in intel_iommu_init.
I can remove this in the next version of the patch, but I'll wait a
few days for comments.

How about moving it to detect_intel_iommu() in drivers/iommu/dmar.c? And
make sure that it's included with CONFIG_X86_64.

This is probably still necessary if moving to detect_intel_iommu().

This is going to break things for the VMM live update scheme that Jason
presented at KVM Forum, isn't it?

In that case we rely on the IOMMU still operating during the
transition.

For VMM live update case, we should be able to detect and bypass
the shutdown that Deepa introduced here, so keep IOMMU still operating?

Is that a 'yes' to Deepa's "if someone wants to make it conditional, we
can do that" ?

Ok, makes sense to move it along with the init handler.

You mean CONFIG_X86 like the init that is already there?

#ifdef CONFIG_X86
    if (!ret)
        x86_init.iommu.iommu_init = intel_iommu_init;
#endif

Are these changes already part of the kernel like avoiding shutdown of
the passthrough devices? device_shutdown() doesn't seem to be doing
anything selectively as of now.

Yes.

Also, change the title to "iommu/vt-d: Turn off ..."

I've posted the v2 without the conditional for now:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1151225/

As a side topic, I'm trying to support https://www.linuxboot.org/. I
have a couple of more such cleanups coming. The VMM live updates and
linuxboot seem to have contradicting requirements and they both use
kexec. So kexec_in_progress doesn't seem like a sufficient indicator
to distinguish between the two. Do you already have an idea on how to
distiguish between them? Does a separate sys_reboot() command
parameter sound ok? Or, we could use the flags in the sys_kexec_load()
depending on how the live update feature is implemented.

Also, the AMD driver disables iommu at shutdown already. So the live
update feature is already broken on AMD.

No, it is not in upstream yet. It is an on-going effort, which tries to kexec reboot
the host while keeping IOMMU still working.

Hi Deepa,

I think you may not need to consider too much VMM live update here (although it
would be good to consider possible future features), after all it is an on-going effort,
we are still not quite sure what exact modifications it needs. The VMM live update
itself will figure out what is the best way to modify the code.

Thanks,
Jason
