[PATCH 2/2] iommu/arm-smmu-qcom: hide last context bank from linux

From: Marc Gonzalez
Date: Wed Aug 14 2024 - 10:00:52 EST


On qcom msm8998, writing to the last context bank of lpass_q6_smmu
(base address 0x05100000) produces a system freeze & reboot.

Specifically, here:

qsmmu->bypass_cbndx = smmu->num_context_banks - 1;
arm_smmu_cb_write(smmu, qsmmu->bypass_cbndx, ARM_SMMU_CB_SCTLR, 0);

and here:

arm_smmu_write_context_bank(smmu, i);
arm_smmu_cb_write(smmu, i, ARM_SMMU_CB_FSR, ARM_SMMU_CB_FSR_FAULT);

It is likely that FW reserves the last context bank for its own use,
thus a simple work-around would be: DON'T USE IT in Linux.

If we decrease the number of context banks, last one will be "hidden".
