Will Deacon 34debdca68 iommu/arm-smmu: Prevent forced unbinding of Arm SMMU drivers
Forcefully unbinding the Arm SMMU drivers is a pretty dangerous operation,
since it will likely lead to catastrophic failure for any DMA devices
mastering through the SMMU being unbound. When the driver then attempts
to "handle" the fatal faults, it's very easy to trip over dead data
structures, leading to use-after-free.

On John's machine, he reports that the machine was "unusable" due to
loss of the storage controller following a forced unbind of the SMMUv3
driver:

  | # cd ./bus/platform/drivers/arm-smmu-v3
  | # echo arm-smmu-v3.0.auto > unbind
  | hisi_sas_v2_hw HISI0162:01: CQE_AXI_W_ERR (0x800) found!
  | platform arm-smmu-v3.0.auto: CMD_SYNC timeout at 0x00000146
  | [hwprod 0x00000146, hwcons 0x00000000]

Prevent this forced unbinding of the drivers by setting "suppress_bind_attrs"
to true.

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.
