SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 2/2] thunderbolt: Make iommu_dma_protection more accurate
Hi Robin,

I tried this now on two Intel systems. One with integrated Thunderbolt
and one with discrete. There was a small issue, see below but once fixed
it worked as expected :)

This one needs to take the pdev->external_facing into account too
because most of the time there are no existing tunnels when the driver
is loaded so we only see the PCIe root/downstream port. I think this is
enough actually:

if (!pdev->external_facing ||
!dev_iommu_capable(&pdev->dev, IOMMU_CAP_PRE_BOOT_PROTECTION))

I would put here a log debug, something like this:

dev_dbg(&nhi->pdev->dev, "IOMMU DMA protection is %sabled\n",
port_ok ? "en" : "dis");
