Re: [PATCH] x86/pci-dma: swiotlb: Fix a regression since 5.19.0 about iommu=soft kernel parameter

[Julien ROBIN]

Hi kernel test robot and other folks,

Yes, my mistake, 'x86_soft_iommu_only' should have been static; I did the mistake by doing like what I saw around (but the new variable isn't used outside of its 'pci-dma.c' file). Sorry for having done this mistake in a so small patch.

I'll be sending a corrected version of this patch quickly.

Best regards,
Julien ROBIN
