From 9f88a7a3df11a5aaa6212ea535d40d5f92561683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2020 14:20:24 +1000 Subject: confidential guest support: Alter virtio default properties for protected guests The default behaviour for virtio devices is not to use the platforms normal DMA paths, but instead to use the fact that it's running in a hypervisor to directly access guest memory. That doesn't work if the guest's memory is protected from hypervisor access, such as with AMD's SEV or POWER's PEF. So, if a confidential guest mechanism is enabled, then apply the iommu_platform=on option so it will go through normal DMA mechanisms. Those will presumably have some way of marking memory as shared with the hypervisor or hardware so that DMA will work.
