[PATCH 1/2] iommu: Add device ATS not supported capability

From: Shameer Kolothum

Date: Tue Mar 03 2026 - 10:07:15 EST


PCIe ATS may be disabled by platform firmware, root complex limitations,
or kernel policy even when a device advertises the ATS capability in its
PCI configuration space.

Add a new IOMMU_CAP_PCI_ATS_NOT_SUPPORTED capability to allow IOMMU
drivers to report the effective ATS decision for a device.

When this capability is returned true for a device, ATS is not
supported and not used for that device, regardless of the presence
of the PCI ATS capability.

A subsequent patch will extend iommufd to expose the effective ATS
status to userspace.
