Description: /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<grp_id>/type shows the type of default
domain in use by iommu for this group. See include/linux/iommu.h
- for possible values. A privileged user could request kernel to
- change the group type by writing to this file. Presently, only
- three types of request are supported:
- 1. DMA: All the DMA transactions from the device in this group
- are translated by the iommu.
- 2. identity: All the DMA transactions from the device in this
- group are *not* translated by the iommu.
- 3. auto: Change to the type the device was booted with.
- Note:
- -----
+ for possible read values. A privileged user could request kernel to
+ change the group type by writing to this file. Valid write values:
+
+ ======== ======================================================
+ DMA All the DMA transactions from the device in this group
+ are translated by the iommu.
+ identity All the DMA transactions from the device in this group
+ are not translated by the iommu.
+ auto Change to the type the device was booted with.
+ ======== ======================================================
+
The default domain type of a group may be modified only when
- 1. The group has *only* one device
- 2. The device in the group is not bound to any device driver.
- So, the users must unbind the appropriate driver before
- changing the default domain type.
- Caution:
- --------

+ - The group has only one device.
+ - The device in the group is not bound to any device driver.
+ So, the users must unbind the appropriate driver before
+ changing the default domain type.
+
Unbinding a device driver will take away the driver's control
over the device and if done on devices that host root file
system could lead to catastrophic effects (the users might
