Subject: [PATCH rc] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Do not set disable_ats unless vSTE is Translate
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 17:12:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115011243.1302402-1-nicolinc@nvidia.com> (raw)

A vSTE may have three configuration types: Abort, Bypass, and Translate.

An Abort vSTE wouldn't enable ATS, but the other two might.

It makes sense for a Transalte vSTE to rely on the guest vSTE.EATS field.

For a Bypass vSTE, it would end up with an S2-only physical STE, similar
to an attachment to a regular S2 domain. However, the nested case always
disables ATS following the Bypass vSTE, while the regular S2 case always
enables ATS so long as arm_smmu_ats_supported(master) == true.

Note that ATS is needed for certain VM centric workloads and historically
non-vSMMU cases have relied on this automatic enablement. So, having the
nested case behave differently causes problems.

To fix that, add a condition to disable_ats, so that it might enable ATS
for a Bypass vSTE, aligning with the regular S2 case.
