Subject[PATCH] iommu: Fix def_domain_type interaction with untrusted devices
Date
Previously, an untrusted device forcing IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA always took
precedence over whatever a driver's def_domain_type may have wanted to
say. This was intentionally handled in core code since 3 years prior,
to avoid drivers poking at the details of what is essentially a policy
between the PCI core and the IOMMU core. Now, though, we go to the
length of evaluating both constraints to check for any conflict, and if
so throw our toys out of the pram and refuse to handle the device at
all. Regardless of any intent, in practice this leaves the device, and
potentially the rest of its group or even the whole IOMMU, in a largely
undetermined state, which at worst may render the whole system unusable.
Unfortunately it turns out that this is a realistic situation to run
into by connecting a PASID-capable device (e.g. a GPU) to an AMD-based
laptop via a Thunderbolt expansion box, since the AMD IOMMU driver needs
an identity default domain for PASIDs to be usable, and thus sets a
def_domain_type override based on PASID capability.

In general, restoring the old behaviour of forcing translation will not
make that device's operation any more broken than leaving it potentially
blocked or subject to the rest of a group's translations would, nor will
it be any less safe than leaving it potentially bypassed or subject to
the rest of a group's translations would, so do that, and let eGPUs work
again.
