Over which commutative rings do we have Smith normal form?

It is well-known that matrices over a PID
always have Smith normal form as in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_normal_form. What about general rings which may not even be noetherian?

$begingroup$

The algorithm requires at least a Bézout domain to express GCDs as linear combinations, and I think it requires some sort of bound on factorizations to prevent chasing some infinite factorizations forever.



The safest thing to do to control factorizations would be to assume it is a UFD, but a Bézout UFD is already a PID.
