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 Qunfang Zhang 2010-07-01 10:49:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
On a AMD host (Istanbul 2427), unbind a NIC card (82572EI) from host, then boot a guest with this NIC card assigned, failed.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enable AMD Virtualization option on BIOS. (Have not found a option about IOMMU)
2.# lspci | grep Ethernet
0000:00:08.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a3)
0000:00:09.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a3)
0001:45:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06)

3.Unbind the 0001:45:00.0 NIC card from host.
# lspci -n | grep 45:00.0
0001:45:00.0 0200: 8086:10b9 (rev 06)
#echo "8086 10b9" > /sys/bus/pci/driver/pci-stub/new_id
#echo 0001:45:00.0> /sys/bus/pci/devices/0001\:45\:00.0/driver/unbind
#echo 0001:45:00.0> /sys/bus/pci/driver/pci-stub/bind

4.Boot a guest with the unbind physical NIC card assigned. BUT:

# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -smp 2 -m 2 -cpu qemu64,+x2apic -usbdevice tablet -drive file=RHEL-Server-5.5-64.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,mac=1a:4a:10:20:40:5f,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -boot c -uuid 32793bea-68ac-4253-a8b7-fc3b7521038e -rtc-td-hack -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -monitor stdio -name rhel5.5 -vnc :10  -device pci-assign,host=45:00.0,id=1
get_real_device: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:45:00.0/config: No such file or directory
qemu-kvm: -device pci-assign,host=45:00.0,id=1: pci-assign: Error: Couldn't get real device (1)!
qemu-kvm: -device pci-assign,host=45:00.0,id=1: Device 'pci-assign' could not be initialized


In fact the "Domain: Bus:Device:Function" is 0001:45:00.0 instead of 0000:45:00.0 (refer to step 3)


Actual results:
Can not boot up the guest with NIC card assigned.

Expected results:
Guest boots up successfully with NIC card assigned.

Additional info:
Using virt-manager still has the problem
