    PCI/ACS: Enforce pci=noats with Transaction Blocking · 7cae7849
    Alex Williamson authored
    PCIe Address Translation Services (ATS) provides a mechanism for a device
    to provide an on-device caching translation agent (device IOTLB).  We
    already have a means to disable support for this feature via the pci=noats
    option.  For untrusted and externally facing devices, we not only disable
    ATS support for the device, but we use Access Control Services (ACS)
    Transaction Blocking to actively prevent devices from sending TLPs with
    non-default AT field values.
    
    Extend pci=noats to also make use of PCI_ACS_TB so that not only is ATS
    disabled at the device, but blocked at the downstream ports.  This provides
    a means to further lock-down ATS for cases such as device assignment, where
    it may not be the hardware configuration of the device that makes it
    untrusted, but the driver running on the device.
