[PATCH 1/2] iommu/io-pgtable-arm: Add support for non-coherent page tables

From: Vivek Gautam
Date: Thu Jan 17 2019 - 04:27:38 EST


>From Robin's comment [1] about touching TCR configurations -

"TBH if we're going to touch the TCR attributes at all then we should
probably correct that sloppiness first - there's an occasional argument
for using non-cacheable pagetables even on a coherent SMMU if reducing
snoop traffic/latency on walks outweighs the cost of cache maintenance
on PTE updates, but anyone thinking they can get that by overriding
dma-coherent silently gets the worst of both worlds thanks to this
current TCR value."

We have IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_NO_DMA quirk present, but we don't force
anybody _not_ using dma-coherent smmu to have non-cacheable page table
mappings.
Having another quirk flag can help in having non-cacheable memory for
page tables once and for all.
