Giovanni Cabiddu d41d75fe1b crypto: qat - fix DMA direction for compression on GEN2 devices
QAT devices perform an additional integrity check during compression by
decompressing the output. Starting from QAT GEN4, this verification is
done in-line by the hardware. However, on GEN2 devices, the hardware
reads back the compressed output from the destination buffer and performs
a decompression operation using it as the source.

In the current QAT driver, destination buffers are always marked as
write-only. This is incorrect for QAT GEN2 compression, where the buffer
is also read during verification. Since commit 6f5dc76580
("iommu/vt-d: Restore WO permissions on second-level paging entries"),
merged in v6.16-rc1, write-only permissions are strictly enforced, leading
to DMAR errors when using QAT GEN2 devices for compression, if VT-d is
enabled.

Mark the destination buffers as DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. This ensures
compatibility with GEN2 devices, even though it is not required for
QAT GEN4 and later.

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 reStructuredText 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.
