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 of problem:
According to the spec - https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.1/csprd01/virtio-v1.1-csprd01.html: VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM(33) This feature indicates that the device can be used on a platform where device access to data in memory is limited and/or translated. E.g. this is the case if the device can be located behind an IOMMU that translates bus addresses from the device into physical addresses in memory, if the device can be limited to only access certain memory addresses or if special commands such as a cache flush can be needed to synchronise data in memory with the device. Whether accesses are actually limited or translated is described by platform-specific means. If this feature bit is set to 0, then the device has same access to memory addresses supplied to it as the driver has. In particular, the device will always use physical addresses matching addresses used by the driver (typically meaning physical addresses used by the CPU) and not translated further, and can access any address supplied to it by the driver. When clear, this overrides any platform-specific description of whether device access is limited or translated in any way, e.g. whether an IOMMU may be present.
