From 792fb43ce2c98878f1539c1d3fdecc1d7a7d78fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lu Baolu Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2021 21:48:47 +0800 Subject: iommu/vt-d: Enable Intel IOMMU scalable mode by default The commit 8950dcd83ae7d ("iommu/vt-d: Leave scalable mode default off") leaves the scalable mode default off and end users could turn it on with "intel_iommu=sm_on". Using the Intel IOMMU scalable mode for kernel DMA, user-level device access and Shared Virtual Address have been enabled. This enables the scalable mode by default if the hardware advertises the support and adds kernel options of "intel_iommu=sm_on/sm_off" for end users to configure it through the kernel parameters.
