[PATCHv7 05/26] vfio: introduce the VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_NOEXEC flag

From: Antonios Motakis <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-23 15:09:05
Also in: kvm, linux-iommu, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, vfio driver · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Alex Williamson

We introduce the VFIO_DMA_MAP_FLAG_NOEXEC flag to the VFIO dma map call,
and expose its availability via the capability VFIO_IOMMU_PROT_NOEXEC.
This way the user can control whether the XN flag will be set on the
requested mappings. The IOMMU_NOEXEC flag needs to be available for all
the IOMMUs of the container used.
