[PATCH v5 5/5] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: add bootup option "iommu.non_strict"

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Tue Aug 14 2018 - 21:32:47 EST


Add a bootup option to make the system manager can choose which mode to
be used. The default mode is strict.

nobypass [PPC/POWERNV]
Disable IOMMU bypass, using IOMMU for PCI devices.

+ 0 - strict mode, default.
+ Release IOVAs after the related TLBs are invalid
+ completely.
+ 1 - non-strict mode.
+ Put off TLBs invalidation and release memory first.
+ It's good for scatter-gather performance but lacks
+ full isolation, an untrusted device can access the
+ reused memory because the TLBs may still valid.
+ Please take full consideration before choosing this
+ mode. Note that, VFIO will always use strict mode.
