Re: [PATCH v10 1/3] iommu: Enhance IOMMU default DMA mode build options

If unsure, say N here.
+choice
+ prompt "IOMMU default DMA mode"
+ depends on IOMMU_API

config INTEL_IOMMU
depends on PCI_MSI && ACPI && (X86 || IA64)

config AMD_IOMMU
depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI && HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE

config ARM_SMMU_V3
depends on ARM64

"depends on ARM_SMMU_V3 || INTEL_IOMMU || AMD_IOMMU" may need to be added, because it doesn't work on other platforms.

or "depends on X86 || IA64 || X86_64 || ARM64"

I suppose so. But I don't think that any other archs use the value from iommu_dma_strict anyway.


+
+ default IOMMU_DEFAULT_STRICT
+ help
+ This option allows an IOMMU DMA mode to be chosen at build time, to
+ override the default DMA mode of each ARCH, removing the need to
+ pass in kernel parameters through command line. It is still possible
+ to provide ARCH-specific or common boot options to override this
+ option.
+
+ If unsure, keep the default.
+
+config IOMMU_DEFAULT_LAZY
+ bool "lazy"
+ help
+ Support lazy mode, where for every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the
+ flush operation of IOTLB and the free operation of IOVA are deferred.
+ They are only guaranteed to be done before the related IOVA will be
+ reused.
+
+config IOMMU_DEFAULT_STRICT
+ bool "strict"
+ help
+ For every IOMMU DMA unmap operation, the flush operation of IOTLB and
+ the free operation of IOVA are guaranteed to be done in the unmap
+ function.
+
+ This mode is safer than the two above, but it maybe slower in some
+ high performace scenarios.

Currently, a maximum of 100 columns are allowed in a row.

Sure, but some people still prefer limiting to 80, and codingstyle
doc mentions a preference for 80.

But if you really think I should change, then that's ok.

Thanks,
