Currently Linux automatically enables ATS (Address Translation Service) for any device that supports it (and IOMMU is turned on). ATS is used to accelerate DMA access as the device can cache translations locally so there is no need to do full translation on IOMMU side. However, as pointed out in [1] ATS can be used to bypass IOMMU based security completely by simply sending PCIe read/write transaction with AT (Address Translation) field set to "translated". To mitigate this modify the Intel IOMMU code so that it does not enable ATS for any device that is marked as being untrusted. In case this turns out to cause performance issues we may selectively allow ATS based on user decision but currently use big hammer and disable it completely to be on the safe side.
