[PATCH v4 4/5] iommu/vt-d: Fail probe on ATS configuration failure

From: Pranjal Shrivastava

Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 14:45:39 EST


Update the Intel VT-d driver to handle ATS configuration and enablement
more strictly. Specifically, update the device probe to fail if
pci_prepare_ats() returns an error. This ensures that any ATS-capable
master reaching the attach phase is guaranteed to have a valid config.

Additionally, update iommu_enable_pci_ats() to WARN() if pci_enable_ats
fails. Since earlier checks in the probe phase preclude config-related
failures, any failure during hardware enablement is considered a kernel
bug.
