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.

Fixed In Version: qemu-kvm-1.5.3-141.el7_4.5
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the memory mapping of processor access to base address registers (BARs) smaller than the system page size was incorrect. As a consequence, devices assigned to a guest virtual machine using the vfio-pci driver did not work, which in some cases prevented the guest from booting. This update fixes the QEMU emulator to map the affected devices properly, and the described problem no longer occurs.

Description Oneata Mircea Teodor 2017-11-20 07:27:39 UTC 
This bug has been copied from bug #1511802 and has been proposed to be backported to 7.4 z-stream (EUS).
Comment 5 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-11-29 07:33:05 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-1.5.3-141.el7_4.5
Comment 6 Yanan Fu 2017-11-29 10:06:47 UTC 
Reproduce this bz successfully, and it is ok with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-141.el7_4.5.


Test steps:
1. Unbind one EHCI device from host, and bind to vfio-pci.
#lspci | grep "USB Enhanced"
00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05)
00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation C610/X99 series chipset USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05)

Choose "00:1a.0".
# readlink /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1a.0/iommu_group
../../../kernel/iommu_groups/10
# ls /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/10/devices/
0000:00:1a.0  ---> iommu group 10 only have one device, it is ok for testing. 

Unbind it from host and bind it vfio-pci.
#ll /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1a.0/driver
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Nov 29 04:19 /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1a.0/driver -> ../../../bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci

2. Boot VM with this passthrough device:
-device vfio-pci,host=00:1a.0,id=ehci \

3. Connect to VM and check the status of the VM.

----------------Reproduce--------------
Test version:
qemu: qemu-kvm-1.5.3-141.el7
kernel: kernel-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64

Test result:
Guest stuck at "Press ESC for boot menu" (i add "-boot menu=on in the command line"), without "-boot menu=on", guest stuck at "ipxe(hrrp://ipxe.org)...."

when i boot without the pass through EHCI device, guest work well.


----------------Verification--------------
Test version:
qemu: qemu-kvm-1.5.3-141.el7_4.5.x86_64
kernel: kernel-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64


Test result:
Guest can boot up normally, reboot, shutdown and hot-plug/unplug the pass through device several times, no problem.
