Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] iommu/vt-d: Fix no_iommu to disable platform optin
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 06:12:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702061216.388743-2-kevin.tian@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702061216.388743-1-kevin.tian@intel.com>

If user explicitly requests to disable iommu (via "iommu=off" or
"intel_iommu=off"), there is no reason to force enabling it due
to platform optin (for external-facing devices). User should be
aware of any security implication of doing so.

"intel_iommu=off" implements this policy by setting no_platform_optin
to skip platform optin in platform_optin_force_iommu().

However, "iommu=off" (no_iommu=1) doesn't set no_platform_optin
hence is broken in this aspect:

  - detect_intel_iommu() doesn't request ACS if no_iommu=1
  - platform_optin_force_iommu() forces iommu on if external-facing
    devices exist and no_platform_optin is not set

This leads to a bad configuration with ACS disabled while DMA
remapping is enabled.

Instead of setting no_platform_optin (will soon be removed) for
no_iommu=1, directly check no_iommu in platform_optin_force_iommu().

Fixes: 89a6079df791 ("iommu/vt-d: Force IOMMU on for platform opt in hint")
