I don't think you should be overloading DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED like this.

	/*
	 * DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED is not a caller-visible dma_alloc_*()
	 * attribute. The direct allocator uses it internally after it has

	 * rest of the allocation path can consistently select DMA addresses,
	 * choose compatible pools and restore encryption on free.
	 */
	if (attrs & DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED)
		return NULL;

	if (force_dma_unencrypted(dev)) {
		attrs |= DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED;
		mark_mem_decrypt = true;
	}

It is fine to have a bit inside the attrs that is only used by the
internal logic, but it needs to have a clearer name
__DMA_ATTR_REQUIRE_CC_SHARED perhaps.

The sashiko note does look legit though:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_REMAP) &&
	    !gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp) && !coherent) {
		page = dma_alloc_from_pool(dev, PAGE_ALIGN(size), &cpu_addr,
					   gfp, attrs, NULL);
		if (!page)
			return NULL;

I don't see anything doing the force_dma_unencrypted test along this
callchain..

I guess it should be done one step up in dma_alloc_attrs() instead of
in dma_direct_alloc()?
