[PATCH v14 3/6] iommu: Enhance IOMMU default DMA mode build options
From: John Garry
Date: Fri Jun 18 2021 - 07:39:15 EST
From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx>
First, add build options IOMMU_DEFAULT_{LAZY|STRICT}, so that we have the
opportunity to set {lazy|strict} mode as default at build time. Then put
the two config options in an choice, as they are mutually exclusive.
[jpg: Make choice between strict and lazy only (and not passthrough)]

+ help
+ This option allows an IOMMU DMA IOTLB invalidation mode to be
+ chosen at build time, to override the default mode of each ARCH,

+ help
+ Support lazy mode, where for every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the
+ flush operation of IOTLB and the free operation of IOVA are deferred.
+ They are only guaranteed to be done before the related IOVA will be
+ reused.
+
+ The isolation provided in this mode is not as secure as STRICT mode,
+ such that a vulnerable time window may be created between the DMA
+ unmap and the mappings cached in the IOMMU IOTLB or device TLB
+ finally being invalidated, where the device could still access the
+ memory which has already been unmapped by the device driver.
+ However this mode may provide better performance in high throughput
+ scenarios, and is still considerably more secure than passthrough
+ mode or no IOMMU.
