Description David Gibson 2016-03-03 01:03:17 UTC

Description of problem:

Need to test that passthrough of SR-IOV virtual functions works correctly.

AFAIK, the existing VFIO passthrough code should work fine as is, but we need to check.

This relies on underlying host (PowerNV) support for SR-IOV, which appears to be missing so far.  Still trying to locate the correct BZ for that, so I can mark the dependency.

*** Bug 1356329 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 David Gibson 2016-07-15 03:27:20 UTC

This is blocked by lack of host-side SR-IOV support.  Moving back to ASSIGNED state until that's resolved.

Comment 4 David Gibson 2017-01-05 05:57:19 UTC

The host side prerequisite, bug 1315131 is now merged into the RHEL7.4 development tree.  So we should now be able to start testing this.

Since it is TestOnly, moving to ON_QA.

Comment 5 Qunfang Zhang 2017-02-14 07:58:26 UTC

SR-IOV virtual functions could be generated and assigned to guest now, however it doesn't work properly inside guest, QE filed new BZ:

Bug 1421940 - [ppc64le] SR-IOV virtual functions passthrough in VFIO didn't works well in guest

Comment 6 David Gibson 2017-02-15 01:08:23 UTC

Looking at bug 1421940 the VF doesn't initialize in the host, without passthrough, either.  That suggests it is a problem either in a) the VF driver part of be2net or in b) the host side SR-IOV support, rather than a KVM or qemu problem.

Do you have access to any other SR-IOV capable devices, to try to eliminate the VF driver as the cause?

Comment 12 David Gibson 2017-03-20 05:23:15 UTC

Zhengtong, Qunfang,

With the machine borrowed from the RDMA team, are you able to proceed with testing on this bug?  Can I move the status back to ON_QA?

Comment 13 Zhengtong 2017-03-20 06:45:23 UTC

Hi David, I haven't tried with the machine from RDMA yet. But I tried with a intel XL710 adapter occasionally. It worked. So please move the status to ON_QA. I will verify this bug with the machine from RDMA team. thanks.

Comment 15 David Gibson 2017-03-24 02:17:51 UTC

Zhengtong, yes I agree.  I think this bug can be VERIFIED and we track the Mellanox specific problems elsewhere.

Comment 16 Zhengtong 2017-03-24 03:04:29 UTC

Thanks for the confirm , set Verified
