[PATCH v6 0/6] iommu: Standardize ATS robustness and state tracking

[Pranjal Shrivastava]

The primary motivation for this series is an ATS state mismatch observed
under heavy load (via iova_stress). A failure in pci_enable_ats() leaves
IOMMU drivers like arm-smmu-v3 with inconsistent state leading to PCI core
warnings during device detach.

While David's recent work [1] addressed a discovery race for specific
quirked devices by moving them to the HEADER phase, gaps remained
regarding how Virtual Functions (VFs) inherit state from their Physical
Functions (PFs). Specifically, pci_ats_supported() did not account for
PF-level quirked status, and pci_prepare_ats() lacked STU validation for
VFs.

Based on discussion with Jason and Baolu in v3/v5, it was decided that the
IOMMU drivers should explicitly check pci_ats_supported() before calling
pci_prepare_ats(). To enforce this, pci_prepare_ats() now noisily checks
for support via WARN_ON(). Furthermore, the device probe should fail if
pci_prepare_ats() fails. Since these early gates preclude software
configuration errors, any remaining failure during pci_enable_ats() is
treated as a kernel bug.

This series standardizes this pattern across ARM SMMUv3, Intel VT-d, &
AMD IOMMU drivers.

[v6]
  - Reverted the decoupling of pci_ats_supported() from pci_prepare_ats().
  - Added a WARN_ON() to the internal support check in pci_prepare_ats().
  - Dropped the standalone Intel bugfixes (RB-tree and UAF) to be sent as a
   separate standalone series per maintainer request.
  - Kept the folded UAF fix in the AMD IOMMU patch to ensure the new error
   path is immediately safe.
  - Collected Reviewed-by tags from Lu Baolu for PCI core patches.

[v5]
  - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260528202353.3422206-1-praan@xxxxxxxxxx/
  - Decoupled pci_ats_supported() from pci_prepare_ats() in the PCI core.
  - Rebased SMMUv3 support on top of Nicolin Chen's "Always-On ATS" series.
  - Fixed pre-existing RB-tree corruption in VT-d probe (Baolu/Sashiko).
  - Addressed the pre-existing UAF in AMD IOMMU probe suggested by Sashiko.

[v4]
  - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260525184347.4059549-1-praan@xxxxxxxxxx/
  - Standardized the pattern across Intel VT-d and AMD IOMMU drivers.
  - Replaced the SMMUv3 ats_prepared gate with a fatal probe-fail logic.
  - Utilized WARN() macros for runtime enablement failures in all drivers.
  - Collected R-b tags from Jason and Sami.
