[PATCH v3 1/2] iommupt: Do not set C-bit on MMIO backed PTEs
From: Wei Wang
Date: Thu Nov 13 2025 - 10:54:35 EST
AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) marks individual memory pages as
encrypted by setting the C-bit in page table entries. According to the
AMD APM,any pages corresponding to MMIO addresses must be configured
with the C-bit clear.
The current *_iommu_set_prot() implementation sets the C-bit on all PTEs
in the IOMMU page tables. This is incorrect for PTEs backed by MMIO, and
can break PCIe peer-to-peer communication when IOVA is used. Fix this by
avoiding the C-bit for MMIO-backed mappings.
For amdv2 IOMMU page tables, there is a usage scenario for GVA->GPA
mappings, and for the trusted MMIO in the TEE-IO case, the C-bit will need
to be added to GPA. However, SNP guests do not yet support vIOMMU, and the
trusted MMIO support is not ready in upstream. Adding the C-bit for trusted
MMIO can be considered once those features land.
Fixes: 879ced2bab1b ("iommupt: Add the AMD IOMMU v1 page table format")
Fixes: aef5de756ea8 ("iommupt: Add the x86 64 bit page table format")
