Subject: [PATCH v5 5/6] dma: swiotlb: Add an overridable architecture pool opt-out
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:06:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921063628.362078-6-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921063628.362078-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>

On x86, iommu=off historically prevented SWIOTLB initialization by not
setting SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT. This overloads that flag: it
controls both whether a pool is selected and where the pool is
allocated. If another requirement, swiotlb=force selects a pool
independently, omitting SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT may place it above
the addressable range of devices which need bounce buffering.

Add SWIOTLB_INIT_FORCE_DISABLE to let an architecture opt out of normal
pool initialization without discarding the pool placement constraints.

Unlike swiotlb_force_disable, which is set by swiotlb=noforce and
unconditionally prevents pool initialization, the new flag is an
architecture default. Explicit requirements such as memory encryption,
architecture remapping, or swiotlb=force take precedence over it.

iommu=soft retains SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT because it requests
software bounce buffering for devices whose DMA masks cannot address all
system memory. Such devices must be able to reach the bounce pool.

Clear both flags for Xen because Xen explicitly requires a remapped
SWIOTLB pool and may allocate it anywhere in directly mapped memory.

With no override, iommu=off disables both hardware IOMMU translation and
SWIOTLB bouncing. Direct DMA remains available; mappings outside a
device's addressable range fail instead of being bounced.
