[RFC][PATCH 2/3] TXT: Intel IOMMU PMR Disable

From: Joseph Cihula
Date: Tue Oct 07 2008 - 19:24:20 EST


(re-posted with apologies for formatting and email addresses)

Disable Intel VT-d (IOMMU) Protected Memory Regions (PMRs) when DMA remapping is enabled.

Leaving the PMRs enabled may add more delay to the VT-d DMA request processing (as another lookup may be performed) but whether they are even used is not deterministic:
DMA requests that are subject to address remapping, and accessing the
protected memory regions may or may not be blocked by hardware. For
such requests, software must not depend on hardware protection of the
protected memory regions, and instead program the DMA-remapping
page-tables to block DMA to protected memory regions.
-- from the description field of the PMEN_REG register in the v1.2 (May '08) VT-d spec.
