The IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT flag indicates that a memory region must be mapped 1:1 at all times. This means that the region must always be accessible to the device, even if the device is attached to a blocking domain. This is equal to saying that IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT flag prevents devices from being attached to blocking domains. This also implies that devices that implement RESV_DIRECT regions will be prevented from being assigned to user space since taking the DMA ownership immediately switches to a blocking domain. The rule of preventing devices with the IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT regions from being assigned to user space has existed in the Intel IOMMU driver for a long time. Now, this rule is being lifted up to a general core rule, as other architectures like AMD and ARM also have RMRR-like reserved regions. This has been discussed in the community mailing list and refer to below link for more details. Other places using unmanaged domains for kernel DMA must follow the iommu_get_resv_regions() and setup IOMMU_RESV_DIRECT - we do not restrict them in the core code.

README
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.
