Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] Allow ATS to be always on for certain ATS-capable devices
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 13:34:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1779392420.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com> (raw)
PCI ATS function is controlled by the IOMMU driver calling pci_enable_ats()
and pci_disable_ats() helpers. Depending on the driver implementation:
- ATS should be enabled when a translation channel is enabled on a PASID
(a typical SVA case).
- ATS should be disabled when the device's RID is IOMMU bypassed and its
PASIDs are not IOMMU-translated for any SVA use case.
However, certain PCIe devices require non-PASID ATS on the RID, even if the
RID is IOMMU bypassed. E.g. CXL.cache capability requires ATS to access the
physical memory; some pre-CXL NVIDIA GPUs also require the ATS to be always
on even when their RIDs are IOMMU bypassed.
Provide a helper function to detect CXL.cache capability and scan through a
pre-CXL device ID list.
As the initial use case, call the helper in ARM SMMUv3 driver and adapt the
driver accordingly with a per-device ats_always_on flag.
