Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] dma-mapping: Avoid double decrypting with DMA_RESTRICTED_POOL
Date: Thu,  5 Mar 2026 17:03:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305170335.963568-2-smostafa@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305170335.963568-1-smostafa@google.com>

In case a device have a restricted DMA pool, it will be decrypted.
However, in the path of dma_direct_alloc() memory can be allocated
from this pool using, __dma_direct_alloc_pages() =>
dma_direct_alloc_swiotlb()

After that from the same function, it will attempt to decrypt it
using dma_set_decrypted() if force_dma_unencrypted().

Which results in the memory being decrypted twice.

It's not clear how the does realm world/hypervisors deal with that,
for example:
- Clear a bit in the page table and call realm IPA_STATE_SET
- TDX: Seems to issue a hypercall also.
- pKVM: Which doesn't implement force_dma_unencrypted() at the moment,
  uses a share hypercall which is definitely not Idempotent.

This patch will only encrypt/decrypt memory that are not allocated
form the restricted dma pools.
