commitac9c5e92ddupstream. Although it's vanishingly unlikely that anyone would integrate an SMMU within a coherent interconnect without also making the pagetable walk interface coherent, the same effect happens if a coherent SMMU fails to advertise CTTW correctly. This turns out to be the case on some popular NXP SoCs, where VFIO started failing the IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY test, even though IOMMU_CACHE *was* previously achieving the desired effect anyway thanks to the underlying integration. While those SoCs stand to gain some more general benefits from a firmware update to override CTTW correctly in DT/ACPI, it's also easy to work around this in Linux as well, to avoid imposing too much on affected users - since the upstream client devices *are* correctly marked as coherent, we can trivially infer their coherent paths through the SMMU as well.

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.
