Subject: [PATCH v2 9/9] iommu/vt-d: Support the new DMA_REMAP_OPT_OUT flag bit
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 06:12:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702061216.388743-10-kevin.tian@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702061216.388743-1-kevin.tian@intel.com>

Some BIOS already provides config options to expose/hide VT-d units
as a whole to/from system software. A new demand is to allow exposing
VT-d units but requesting system software to disable DMA remapping
while sustaining interrupt remapping. This can be communicated now by
setting the new DMA_REMAP_OPT_OUT flag bit in the DMAR table, as
introduced in VT-d spec v5.2 (section 8.1, DMA Remapping Reporting
Structure).

Introduce a new off policy (DMAR_FW_OFF) for DMA_REMAP_OPT_OUT. As
the strongest off policy, it cannot be overridden by user opts or
any force_on types. If tboot is enabled in the meantime, kernel will
panic. It is user responsibility to configure BIOS properly.

One cleanup is left for future - the DMAR flag is parsed multiple
times, in detect_intel_iommu(), dmar_platform_optin() (which can be
called at run-time), etc. Caching it is a cleaner way.
