Subject: [PATCH v11 05/11] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Disable the EVTQ and the PRIQ in a kdump kernel
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 12:30:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fdebf9f372ebabd7a44581a2068d6fcbff058783.1791226953.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1791226953.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com>
A kdump kernel cannot use either queue. The crashed kernel's CDs and page
tables might be corrupted, so events would spam the EVTQ, and there is no
way to serve the page requests that would arrive at the PRIQ.
The reset routine still enables both of the queues and then masks the two
enable bits back out, having already programmed the queue bases and taken
the interrupts of both.
Clear ARM_SMMU_FEAT_EVTQ and ARM_SMMU_FEAT_PRI in the probe instead, so as
to entirely skip the queue initialization and handling in a kdump kernel.
