Description Mark McLoughlin 2009-05-06 10:26:20 UTC
I've just noticed this:

* Tue Mar 24 2009 Kyle McMartin <kyle>
- Disable DMAR by default until suspend & resume is fixed.

Later, we had this:

* Fri Apr 10 2009 David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse>
- Fix suspend/resume with Intel IOMMU, handle devices behind PCI-PCI
  bridges, cope with BIOS claiming IOMMU is at address zero.

Should we re-enable it be default again?

For reference, this is needed for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_PCI_Device_Assignment - without CONFIG_DMAR_DEFAULT_ON people need to boot with "intel_iommu=on" in order to use device assignment

I don't think we have nearly all the DMAR fixes that have gone into 2.6.30. (A few just got merged in the last few days.)

Comment 2 Mark McLoughlin 2009-05-07 09:34:40 UTC
Adding a known intel_iommu lockup as a dependency

We should have everything that's needed. What do you think is missing?

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 15:14:38 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2009-08-10 13:38:04 UTC
How are we looking for enabling this in F-12?

Comment 6 David Woodhouse 2009-08-10 14:06:48 UTC
Good, I think. I have some more BIOS workarounds which I can drop in now and re-enable it...

Comment 7 David Woodhouse 2009-08-10 14:28:18 UTC
OK, it's enabled. I'd quite like to drop the BROKEN_GFX_WA option too, but let's take things one step at a time...

Comment 8 Mark McLoughlin 2009-08-21 11:45:46 UTC
* Mon Aug 10 2009 David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse> 2.6.31-0.145.rc5.git3
- Merge latest Intel IOMMU fixes and BIOS workarounds, re-enable by default.
