Description

The expectation is wrong here, when a VM is configured with intel-iommu each assigned devices is placed into a separate address space, which is in direct conflict with the vfio model where containers define an address space and the granularity with which we can attach devices to a container is a group. QEMU does not currently provide DMA aliasing support, which would allow very specific configurations of multiple devices within the same IOMMU group to be attached to a VM configured with intel-iommu when those devices are aliased to the same address space, such as by a conventional PCI bus. Cloning to relevant RFE, behavior described here matches current expectations. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1627499 *** |
