Allocating and enabling a flush queue is in fact something we can reasonably do while a DMA domain is active, without having to rebuild it from scratch. Thus we can allow a strict -> non-strict transition from sysfs without requiring to unbind the device's driver, which is of particular interest to users who want to make selective relaxations to critical devices like the one serving their root filesystem. Disabling and draining a queue also seems technically possible to achieve without rebuilding the whole domain, but would certainly be more involved. Furthermore there's not such a clear use-case for tightening up security *after* the device may already have done whatever it is that you don't trust it not to do, so we only consider the relaxation case.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
