This series propagates DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED through the dma-direct, dma-pool, and swiotlb paths so that encrypted and decrypted DMA buffers are handled consistently. Today, the direct DMA path mostly relies on force_dma_unencrypted() for shared/decrypted buffer handling. This series consolidates the force_dma_unencrypted() checks in the top-level functions and ensures that the remaining DMA interfaces use DMA attributes to make the correct decisions. The series: - moves swiotlb-backed allocations out of __dma_direct_alloc_pages(), - propagates DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED through the dma-direct alloc/free paths - teaches the atomic DMA pools to track encrypted versus decrypted state - tracks swiotlb pool encryption state and enforces strict pool selection - centralizes encrypted/decrypted pgprot handling in dma_pgprot() using DMA attributes - passes DMA attributes down to dma_capable() so capability checks can validate whether the selected DMA address encoding matches DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED - makes dma_direct_map_phys() choose the DMA address encoding from DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED and fall back to swiotlb when a shared DMA request cannot use the direct mapping, which lets arm64 and x86 CCA guests stop relying on SWIOTLB_FORCE for DMA mappings - use the selected swiotlb pool state to derive the returned DMA address. Changes since v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260512090408.794195-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org (local) * Add new patches based on Sashiko review: swiotlb: Preserve allocation virtual address for dynamic pools dma: free atomic pool pages by physical address dma: swiotlb: handle set_memory_decrypted() failures dma: swiotlb: free dynamic pools from process context iommu/dma: Check atomic pool allocation result directly * Include pKVM and s390 changes as dependent patches. These are not yet ready to merge and are waiting for subsystem testing feedback. * Drop the AMD GART patch because it requires wider testing. * Update swiotlb_tbl_map_single() to take attrs by reference. * Switch swiotlb_free() to use rcu_work. * Avoid calling swiotlb_find_pool() multiple times in the free path. * Make DMA_ATTR_MMIO imply DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED for devices requiring unencrypted DMA. Changes from v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260427055509.898190-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org (local) * Handle DMA_ATTR_MMIO correctly in dma_direct_map_phys() * Address most of sashiko review * Rebase to latest kernel * drop SWIOTLB_FORCE for s390 and powerpc secure guest. Changes from v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260420061415.3650870-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org (local) * pass attrs to dma_capable() and update direct, swiotlb, Xen swiotlb, and x86 GART paths so the capability checks see the DMA address attr value DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED. * rework dma_direct_map_phys() so DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED selects phys_to_dma_unencrypted() while the default path uses phys_to_dma_encrypted(), with swiotlb fallback when the requested shared/private state cannot be satisfied by a direct DMA address. * stop relying on SWIOTLB_FORCE for arm64 and x86 CC guest DMA mappings; swiotlb is still enabled there, but shared mappings is now selected through the generic dma_direct_map_phys()/dma_capable() decision instead of a global force-bounce flag. Changes from v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260417085900.3062416-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org (local) * rebased to latest kernel (change from DMA_ATTR_CC_DECRYPTED -> DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED) * update the alloc path so DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED is not a caller-visible attribute.
