[PATCH 2/2] iommu/vt-d: Avoid unnecessary global DMA cache invalidation

From: Lu Baolu
Date: Mon Sep 19 2022 - 02:31:35 EST


Some VT-d hardware implementations invalidate all DMA remapping hardware
translation caches as part of SRTP flow. The VT-d spec adds a ESRTPS
(Enhanced Set Root Table Pointer Support, section 11.4.2 in VT-d spec)
capability bit to indicate this. With this bit set, software has no need
to issue the global invalidation request.
