Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

commit 242b0aae upstream. The A/D bits are preseted for IOVA over first level(FL) usage for both kernel DMA (i.e, domain typs is IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA) and user space DMA usage (i.e., domain type is IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED). Presetting A bit in FL requires to preset the bit in every related paging entries, including the non-leaf ones. Otherwise, hardware may treat this as an error. For example, in a case of ECAP_REG.SMPWC==0, DMA faults might occur with below DMAR fault messages (wrapped for line length) dumped. DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2 DMAR: [DMA Read NO_PASID] Request device [aa:00.0] fault addr 0x10c3a6000 [fault reason 0x90] SM: A/D bit update needed in first-level entry when set up in no snoop Fixes: 289b3b00 ("iommu/vt-d: Preset A/D bits for user space DMA usage") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:Tina Zhang <tina.zhang@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202...
