RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alex Williamson 2013-12-03 15:22:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
Many Intel PCH root ports lack PCI ACS support.  This causes all of the devices downstream of the root ports to be placed into the same IOMMU group.  Even worse, the PCH root ports are a multifunction device resulting in all devices downstream from every function being placed in the same IOMMU group.  This makes VFIO all but unusable for such devices.  There are numerous examples of this problem, but the X79 chipset is one of the more important examples.

Alex-

Here is the public list of PCI IDs for PCH root ports that can utilize the ACS workaround:

Ibexpaek PCH - 3b42, 3b43, 3b44, 3b45, 3b46, 3b47, 3b48, 3b49, 3b4a, 3b4b, 3b4c, 3b4d, 3b4e, 3b4f, 3b50, 3b51

Cougarpoint PCH - 1c10, 1c11, 1c12, 1c13, 1c14, 1c15, 1c16, 1c17, 1c18, 1c19, 1c1a, 1c1b, 1c1c, 1c1d, 1c1e, 1c1f, 1e10, 1e11, 1e12, 1e13, 1e14, 1e15, 1e16, 1e17, 1e18, 1e19, 1e1a, 1e1b, 1e1c, 1e1d, 1e1e, 1e1f

Lynxpoint-H PCH - 8c10, 8c11, 8c12, 8c13, 8c14, 8c15, 8c16, 8c17, 8c18, 8c19, 8c1a, 8c1b, 8c1c, 8c1d, 8c1e, 8c1f

Lynxpoint-LP PCH - 9c10, 9c11, 9c12, 9c13, 9c14, 9c15, 9c16, 9c17, 9c18, 9c19, 9c1a, 9c1b

Wildcatpoint PCH - 9c90, 9c91, 9c92, 9c93, 9c94, 9c95, 9c96, 9c97, 9c98, 9c99, 9c9a, 9c9b

Note that this is not necessarily an exhaustive list yet, this is just the best I have so far, but it should be sufficient to start with.

Don, please review and provide comments or ACK to upstream patch:

Thanks
Comment 4 Don Dugger 2014-02-10 18:46:11 UTC 
Sorry about that, in my head I had ACK'd your patch, it works better when I actually send the email.
Comment 6 Jarod Wilson 2014-03-10 19:04:39 UTC 
Patch(es) available on kernel-3.10.0-107.el7
Comment 11 Don Dugger 2014-03-31 14:46:18 UTC 
I've been able to track down the PCI IDs for X79 root ports:

1d10, 1d12, 1d14, 1d16, 1d18, 1d1a, 1d1c, 1d1e

Note that these root ports provide the same isolation as the other ports we listed in this BZ 1037684 and the same quirk applies.
