The "DmaProperty" is supported and documented by Microsoft here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/pci/dsd-for-pcie-root-ports
They use this property for DMA protection:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/kernel-dma-protection-for-thunderbolt

Support the "DmaProperty" with the same semantics. Windows documents the
property to apply to PCIe root ports only. Extend it to apply to any
PCI device. This is useful for internal PCI devices that do not hang off
a PCIe rootport, but offer an attack surface for DMA attacks (e.g.
internal network devices).

Why not continue to only do this for PCIe devices like it is actually
being used for?  Why expand it?

And what driver/device is going to use this?

thanks,

Because devices hanging off of PCIe root ports are not the only ones
that may need DMA protection. There may be internal PCI devices (that
don't hang off a PCIe root port) that may need DMA protection.
Examples include internal network controllers that may offer an attack
surface by handling network data or running vendor firmware.

This is already used by PCI subsystem to enforce stricter ACS
settings, and IOMMU drivers to enforce stricter IOMMU settings.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Web pages have a tendancy to die over time (will it be here in 20+
years?)  Please describe how Windows uses this attribute and what it
uses it for in the comment.

And why does Microsoft not do the same for them?  What attribute do they
use for that?

And again, this is for "dma protection" not "trusted / untrusted".
That name here is getting very confusing and as I have stated in the
past, is probably incorrect and needs to be changed.  Also userspace
policy decisions need to be made here which would define the
trust/untrusted value.

So how about just passing this on as what Windows does, and have a new
attribute for the device called "platform wants to protect dma accesses
for this device" or something like that?

naming is hard,
