Subject: [PATCH 2/2] iommu/vt-d: Remove caching mode check before devtlb flush
Date: Sun,  7 Apr 2024 22:42:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240407144232.190355-2-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240407144232.190355-1-baolu.lu@linux.intel.com>

The Caching Mode (CM) of the Intel IOMMU indicates if the hardware
implementation caches not-present or erroneous translation-structure
entries except the first-stage translation. The caching mode is
unrelated to the device TLB , therefore there is no need to check
it before a device TLB invalidation operation.

Before the scalable mode is introduced, caching mode is treated as
an indication that the driver is running in a VM guest. This is just
a software contract as shadow page table is the only way to implement
a virtual IOMMU. But the VT-d spec doesn't state this anywhere. After
the scalable mode is introduced, this doesn't stand for anymore, as
caching mode is not relevant for the first-stage translation. A virtual
IOMMU implementation is free to support first-stage translation only
with caching mode cleared.

Remove the caching mode check before device TLB invalidation to ensure
compatibility with the scalable mode use cases.

Fixes: 792fb43ce2c9 ("iommu/vt-d: Enable Intel IOMMU scalable mode by default")
