Subject: [PATCH v5 05/20] dma-pool: track decrypted atomic pools and select them via attrs

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 09:58:00 +0530

Teach the atomic DMA pool code to distinguish between encrypted and
unencrypted pools, and make pool allocation select the matching pool based
on DMA attributes.

Introduce a dma_gen_pool wrapper that records whether a pool is
unencrypted, initialize that state when the atomic pools are created, and
use it when expanding and resizing the pools. Update dma_alloc_from_pool()
to take attrs and skip pools whose encrypted state does not match
DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED. Update dma_free_from_pool() accordingly.

Also pass DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED from the swiotlb atomic allocation path so
decrypted swiotlb allocations are taken from the correct atomic pool.
