[PATCH v9 02/12] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Skip EVTQ/PRIQ setup in kdump kernel

From: Nicolin Chen <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-21 19:49:27
Also in: linux-iommu, lkml
Subsystem: arm smmu drivers, iommu subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Will Deacon, Joerg Roedel, Linus Torvalds

In kdump cases, the crashed kernel's CDs and page tables can be corrupted,
which could trigger event spamming. Also, we cannot serve page requests.

Skip the EVTQ/PRIQ setup entirely rather than enabling then disabling them.

Keep the queue allocations themselves, as their Q_MAX_SZ_SHIFT-capped sizes
are negligible against a crashkernel reservation.

Also add some inline comments explaining that.
