[PATCH 11/20] iommu/vt-d: Remove the 'force_on' variable

Lu Baolu <[email protected]> Tue, 4 Aug 2026 10:37:05 +0800
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.iommu,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Kevin Tian <[email protected]>

The force_on variable is now redundant - same information captured
by "dmar_policy == DMAR_FORCE_ON". Replace all force_on checks
with dmar_policy_force_on().
