Subject: [PATCH v7 09/22] dma-mapping: Add internal shared allocation attribute
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 11:19:13 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701054926.825925-10-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701054926.825925-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>
DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED describes an existing DMA mapping whose backing memory
is already shared, or decrypted, for confidential computing. It is a
mapping attribute: callers use it to request a shared DMA address encoding
for memory that has already been prepared for shared DMA.
Allocation paths need a related but different state. Once the DMA core
decides that an allocation must use shared backing pages, the lower-level
allocation helpers need to select shared pools, decrypt newly allocated
pages, derive the DMA address with the shared-memory translation and
restore encryption on free. That state is internal to the DMA-mapping
implementation and should not be passed by drivers to dma_alloc_attrs().

+DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED
+------------------
+
+This attribute indicates that a DMA mapping is shared, or decrypted, for
+confidential computing guests. For normal system memory, the caller must
+already have marked the memory decrypted with set_memory_decrypted(). CPU
+PTEs for the mapping must use pgprot_decrypted(), and the same shared
+semantic may be passed to a vIOMMU when it sets up the IOPTE.
+
+This attribute describes an existing mapping. It does not allocate shared
+backing pages and must not be passed to dma_alloc_attrs(). For MMIO, use
+this together with DMA_ATTR_MMIO to indicate shared MMIO. Unless
+DMA_ATTR_MMIO is provided, the mapping requires a struct page.
+
+__DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_CC_SHARED
+--------------------------
+
+This is an internal DMA-mapping attribute for confidential computing guests.
+It is used by allocation paths after the DMA core has determined that the
+backing pages must be shared, or decrypted. For example, the direct DMA and
+SWIOTLB allocation paths use it to select shared DMA pools, decrypt newly
+allocated pages, derive DMA addresses using the shared-memory translation, and
+restore encryption on free.
+
+__DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_CC_SHARED differs from DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED in that it is not
+a caller-visible DMA API attribute. DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED describes an
+already-shared mapping and requires the caller to have prepared normal
+system memory before mapping it.
