[PATCH v5 12/23] iommu: add a timeout parameter for prq response

From: Jacob Pan
Date: Fri May 11 2018 - 16:55:05 EST


When an IO page request is processed outside IOMMU subsystem, response can be
delayed or lost. Add a tunable setup parameter such that user can chooose
the timeout for IOMMU to track pending page requests.
This timeout mechanism is a basic safty net which can be implemented in conjunction
with credit based or device level page response exception handling.
