Hi,
This series centralizes swiotlb default-pool selection and sizing, and
simplifies the initialization flags used to describe pool placement.
The first patch replaces the addressing-limit argument with initialization
flags and introduces explicit policies for the different reasons a default
pool may be needed. Architectures now report DMA addressing constraints with
SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT, while the core selects the corresponding pool
policy.
The second patch moves the reduced sizing used when the pool is needed only
for unaligned kmalloc bouncing from arm64 and RISC-V into the swiotlb core.
The third patch centralizes swiotlb sizing for memory-encrypted systems. It
moves the existing x86 guest-sizing policy into the core. Host memory
encryption retains the normal pool size, and a shared default pool is not
selected solely for guest memory encryption when a restricted DMA pool is
present.
The fourth patch removes SWIOTLB_ANY. Pool placement is derived directly from
SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT: pools required for limited DMA addressing are
allocated below the architecture's low address limit, while other pools may
be allocated anywhere in directly mapped memory. Xen continues to request a
pool explicitly with SWIOTLB_INIT_REMAP without imposing a low-address
constraint.

Rename swiotlb_size_or_default() to swiotlb_default_pool_size() to make
clear that it returns the current size of the default SWIOTLB pool.
This includes changes made by command-line options or sizing heuristics,
not just the compiled-in default.
No functional change.

Pass the area count explicitly to swiotlb_calc_nslabs() and keep the
calculation separate from updates to the default_nslabs . Move the
default_nslabs update into swiotlb_adjust_nareas().
Round slabs to a power of two even before the area count is initialized.
For early swiotlb_adjust_size() calls, this moves rounding from area
initialization to size adjustment, so early queries see the rounded
size.

swiotlb_adjust_size() must not override a pool size supplied through the
swiotlb= command-line parameter.
Currently, it determines whether a size was supplied by comparing
default_nslabs with IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE. This fails when the user
explicitly requests the compiled-in default size, allowing the request
to be overwritten by automatic pool sizing.
Record whether swiotlb= supplied a numeric size in swiotlb_cmdline_size_set
and check that flag directly before adjusting the pool size.

The addressing_limited argument to swiotlb_init() describes only one
reason for allocating a default SWIOTLB pool. A pool may also be needed
for memory encryption, unaligned kmalloc bouncing, or swiotlb=force.
Replace the boolean argument with the SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT flag
and have architectures report their DMA addressing constraints through
the initialization flags.
Introduce SWIOTLB pool policies and select the policy in the core before
allocating the default pool. This separates the decision to allocate a
pool from the policy used to size it, allowing subsequent changes to
centralize minimal and confidential-guest sizing.
Set the shared-pool state before memory attributes are updated. Also move
the pseries secure-guest setup before swiotlb_init() so its initialization
flags are available when the policy is selected.

A default SWIOTLB pool used only for unaligned kmalloc bouncing can be
smaller than one required for limited DMA addressing. Arm64 and RISC-V
currently implement this sizing independently, using 1 MiB of SWIOTLB
space per GiB of RAM.
The SWIOTLB core now identifies this case with SWIOTLB_POOL_MINIMAL.
Size that policy in swiotlb_adjust_pool_size() and remove the
architecture-specific adjustments.
Explicit swiotlb= sizing remains unchanged because swiotlb_adjust_size()
preserves a user-configured size.

Memory-encrypted guests use shared or unencrypted memory for DMA and may
route all DMA through SWIOTLB. The default pool can therefore be too
small for I/O-intensive workloads.
Move the existing x86 guest-sizing policy into the SWIOTLB core. For
SWIOTLB_POOL_CC_GUEST, size the pool to 6% of guest memory, clamped
between the normal default and 1 GiB. Preserve an explicit swiotlb=
size.
Host memory encryption still selects a normal-sized shared pool and
does not use the guest-sizing policy.
A restricted DMA pool already provides shared bounce buffers for its
devices. Record its presence during reserved-memory initialization and
do not select the confidential-guest default-pool policy solely because
guest memory encryption is active.

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_DEFAULT_OFF 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.

swiotlb pools are currently allocated below the architecture's low
address limit by default. SWIOTLB_ANY overrides this and permits
allocation anywhere in directly mapped memory.
SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT now explicitly identifies callers which
need a pool that is reachable by devices with limited DMA addressing.
Use it as the placement constraint and remove SWIOTLB_ANY.
This changes the default behavior for callers which do not set either
flag. Previously, omitting SWIOTLB_ANY placed the default pool below the
architecture's low address limit and also constrained dynamically
allocated pools to the same range. After this change, omitting
SWIOTLB_INIT_ADDRESSING_LIMIT permits both static and dynamic pools to
use any directly mapped memory.
