mainlining shenanigans
e52d58d54a
When using 128-bit interrupt-remapping table entry (IRTE) (a.k.a GA mode),
current driver disables interrupt remapping when it updates the IRTE
so that the upper and lower 64-bit values can be updated safely.
However, this creates a small window, where the interrupt could
arrive and result in IO_PAGE_FAULT (for interrupt) as shown below.
IOMMU Driver Device IRQ
============ ===========
irte.RemapEn=0
...
change IRTE IRQ from device ==> IO_PAGE_FAULT !!
...
irte.RemapEn=1
This scenario has been observed when changing irq affinity on a system
running I/O-intensive workload, in which the destination APIC ID
in the IRTE is updated.
Instead, use cmpxchg_double() to update the 128-bit IRTE at once without
disabling the interrupt remapping. However, this means several features,
which require GA (128-bit IRTE) support will also be affected if cmpxchg16b
is not supported (which is unprecedented for AMD processors w/ IOMMU).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
