[PATCH 2/3] iommu/vt-d: Drop stop marker messages

From: Lu Baolu
Date: Sat Apr 16 2022 - 08:33:52 EST


The VT-d driver explicitly drains the pending page requests when a CPU
page table (represented by a mm struct) is unbound from a PASID according
to the procedures defined in the VT-d spec. Hence, there's no need to
report the stop-marker message in prq_event_thread(). The stop marker
messages do not need a response. This drops stop marker messages silently
if any of them is found in the page request queue.
