[PATCH 1/2] iommu: add support for drivers that manage iommu explicitly

From: Rob Clark
Date: Tue Jul 02 2019 - 20:43:50 EST


From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Avoid attaching any non-driver managed domain if the driver indicates
that it manages the iommu directly.

This solves a couple problems that drm/msm + arm-smmu has with the iommu
framework:

1) In some cases the bootloader takes the iommu out of bypass and
enables the display. This is in particular a problem on the aarch64
laptops that exist these days, and modern snapdragon android devices.
(Older devices also enabled the display in bootloader but did not
take the iommu out of bypass.) Attaching a DMA or IDENTITY domain
while scanout is active, before the driver has a chance to intervene,
makes things go *boom*

2) We are currently blocked on landing support for GPU per-context
pagetables because of the domain attached before driver's ->probe()
is called.

This solves both problems.
