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.

Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
As a Technology Preview, this update adds No-IOMMU mode for virtual function I/O (VFIO) drivers. No-IOMMU mode provides the user with full user-space I/O (UIO) access to a direct memory access (DMA)-capable device without a I/O memory management unit (IOMMU). Note that in addition to not being supported, using this mode is not secure, due to the the lack of I/O management provided by IOMMU. However, it is recommended to use the VFIO No-IOMMU driver instead of UIO drivers, such as uio_pci_generic or igb_uio, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux guests that use the Data Plane Development Toolkit (DPDK) on hosts that use any of the following: - Single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) - Open vSwitch-accelerated Data Plane Development Toolkit (OVS-DPDK)

According to BZ1358853#c17, this has been solved in build kmod-vfio-0.3-3.el7fdb.x86_64.rpm:

>The installation path issue and #modprobe issue both have been fixed well
>with kmod-vfio-0.3-3.el7fdb.x86_64 in 7.2GA kernel(3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64)
>and 7.2.z kernel(3.10.0-327.41.1.el7.x86_64).
