[PATCH 1/2] iommu/vt-d: Avoid unnecessary global IRTE cache invalidation
Posted by Lu Baolu 3 years, 6 months ago
Some VT-d hardware implementations invalidate all interrupt remapping
hardware translation caches as part of SIRTP flow. The VT-d spec adds
a ESIRTPS (Enhanced Set Interrupt Remap Table Pointer Support, section
11.4.2 in VT-d spec) capability bit to indicate this. With this bit set,
software has no need to issue the global invalidation request.

Same check is also required in iommu_disable_irq_remapping().

The spec says that:

--
For implementations reporting the Enhanced Set Interrupt Remap Table
Pointer Support (ESIRTPS) field as Set, hardware performs global
invalidation on all Interrupt remapping caches as part of Interrupt
Remapping Disable operation.
--

While looking at that code I think it's problematic to invalidate interrupt
cache before disabling interrupt remapping. Presumably invalidations
should be done only after a configuration is changed, no matter it's 'enable'
or 'disable'.

Thanks
Kevin

Yes. I will add the same check in iommu_disable_irq_remapping(). Thanks
for the reminding.

I understand your concern. The spec doesn't state the sequence in the
interrupt remapping disabling flow. Need to check it with the spec
developers before any change here.
