Some vendor IOMMU drivers are able to declare that it is running in a VM

supported on bare metal. Add a capability bit so that it could be used.
And how is it used? Who and how will set it?
Use the existing iommu_capable(). I should add more descriptions about
who and how to use it.
I want to see the code that sets this capability.
Currently we have Intel VT-d and the virt-iommu setting this capability.
static bool intel_iommu_capable(enum iommu_cap cap)
{
if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY)
return domain_update_iommu_snooping(NULL) == 1;
if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP)
return irq_remapping_enabled == 1;
+ if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_VIOMMU)
+ return caching_mode_enabled();
return false;
}
And,
+static bool viommu_capable(enum iommu_cap cap)
+{
+ if (cap == IOMMU_CAP_VIOMMU)
+ return true;
+
+ return false;
+}
These two functions are reading this cap and not setting.
Where can I see code that does "cap = IOMMU_CAP_VIOMMU" and not "=="?
The iommu_capable() is a generic IOMMU interface to query IOMMU
capabilities. It takes @bus and @cap as input, and calls the callback
of vendor iommu. If the vendor iommu driver supports the specific
capability, it returns true. Otherwise, it returns false.
bool iommu_capable(struct bus_type *bus, enum iommu_cap cap)
{
if (!bus->iommu_ops || !bus->iommu_ops->capable)
return false;
return bus->iommu_ops->capable(cap);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(iommu_capable);
In the vendor iommu's callback, it checks the capability and returns a
value according to its capability, just as showed above.
Best regards,
