Ok.
As i mentioned earlier, the patch was initially based on using a % of guest memory,
as below:
+#define SEV_ADJUST_SWIOTLB_SIZE_PERCENT 5
+#define SEV_ADJUST_SWIOTLB_SIZE_MAX (1UL << 30)
...
...
+ if (sev_active() && !io_tlb_nslabs) {
+ unsigned long total_mem = get_num_physpages() <<
+ PAGE_SHIFT;
+
+ default_size = total_mem *
+ SEV_ADJUST_SWIOTLB_SIZE_PERCENT / 100;
+
+ default_size = ALIGN(default_size, 1 << IO_TLB_SHIFT);
+
+ default_size = clamp_val(default_size, IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE,
+ SEV_ADJUST_SWIOTLB_SIZE_MAX);
+ }
So a similar logic can be applied here.

The question is how does mem_encrypt_init() work ?
That uses a similar logic as arch_swiotlb_adjust() as a "__weak"
function and i am sure it will also need to have added support for TDX,
can't both arch_swiotlb_adjust() and mem_encrypt_init() have specific
checks for active AMD/INTEL memory encryption technology and accordingly
perform actions, as mem_encrypt_init() currently checks for
sev_active().
init/main.c:
void __init __weak mem_encrypt_init(void) { }
start_kernel()
{
..
mem_encrypt_init();
..
}
arch/x86/mm/mem_encrypt.c:
/* Architecture __weak replacement functions */
void __init mem_encrypt_init(void)
{
if (!sme_me_mask)
return;
/* Call into SWIOTLB to update the SWIOTLB DMA buffers */
swiotlb_update_mem_attributes();
/*
* With SEV, we need to unroll the rep string I/O instructions.
*/
if (sev_active())
static_branch_enable(&sev_enable_key);
...
...
