Subject: [PATCH v2] powernv/iommu: disable IOMMU bypass with param iommu=nobypass
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:19:35 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1414099175-27863-1-git-send-email-cascardo@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

When IOMMU bypass is enabled, a PCI device can read and write memory
that was not mapped by the driver without causing an EEH. That might
cause memory corruption, for example.

When we disable bypass, DMA reads and writes to addresses not mapped by
the IOMMU will cause an EEH, allowing us to debug such issues.
