Sorry, I still can't get how iommu.strict kernel option works.

static int __init iommu_dma_setup(char *str)
{
         int ret = kstrtobool(str, &iommu_dma_strict);

         if (!ret)
                 iommu_cmd_line |= IOMMU_CMD_LINE_STRICT;
         return ret;
}
early_param("iommu.strict", iommu_dma_setup);

The bit IOMMU_CMD_LINE_STRICT is only set, but not used anywhere. Hence,
I am wondering how could it work? A bug or I missed anything?

Best regards,
baolu
