Subject: [PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Allow disabling Stage 1 translation
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:32:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420123221.20801-1-epetron@amazon.de> (raw)

When the hardware advertises both Stage 1 and Stage 2 translation, the
driver prefers Stage 1 for DMA domain allocation and only falls back to
Stage 2 if Stage 1 is not supported.

Some configurations may want to force Stage 2 translation even when the
hardware supports Stage 1. Introduce a module parameter 'disable_s1'
that, when set, prevents the driver from advertising
ARM_SMMU_FEAT_TRANS_S1, causing all DMA domains to use Stage 2 instead.
