Subject: [PATCH] iommu: Add Kconfig help text for IOMMU_SVA
Date: Sat, 6 May 2023 06:31:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230506133134.1492395-1-jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) is not immediately intuitive to people
who work outside IOMMU subsystem, add some explanation to make it less
opaque.

+ IOMMU and CPU share page tables for user processes thus DMA can use
+ CPU virtual address. Under intel architecture, it is also called
+ Shared Virtual Memory (SVM).
+ With SVA, DMA requests are tagged with PCIe Process Address Space ID
+ (PASID) or Substream ID (ARM SMMU term) with which page tables are
