H A D | sysfs-kernel-iommu_groups | diff 26225bea1d84b090b378838a1797daec62d4ad0e Wed Aug 11 14:21:35 CEST 2021 Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> iommu: Expose DMA domain strictness via sysfs
The sysfs interface for default domain types exists primarily so users can choose the performance/security tradeoff relevant to their own workload. As such, the choice between the policies for DMA domains fits perfectly as an additional point on that scale - downgrading a particular device from a strict default to non-strict may be enough to let it reach the desired level of performance, while still retaining more peace of mind than with a wide-open identity domain. Now that we've abstracted non-strict mode as a distinct type of DMA domain, allow it to be chosen through the user interface as well.
