iommu: Document usage of "/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<grp_id>/type" file
The default domain type of an iommu group can be changed by writing to "/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/<grp_id>/type" file. Hence, document it's usage and more importantly spell out its limitations.

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:
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
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:
|
||||||
|
--------
|
||||||
|
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
|
||||||
|
need to reboot the machine to get it to normal state). So, it's
|
||||||
|
expected that the users understand what they're doing.
