Hello,
please, could somebody explain the difference in behaviour between
setting the boot option iommu=pt and not setting it?
I can see the following differences:
w/ iommu=pt:
[ 0.832946] AMD-Vi: Enabling IOMMU at 0000:00:00.2 cap 0x40
[ 0.883983] AMD-Vi: Initialized for Passthrough Mode
w/o iommu=pt:
[ 0.834905] AMD-Vi: Enabling IOMMU at 0000:00:00.2 cap 0x40
[ 0.894172] AMD-Vi: Lazy IO/TLB flushing enabled
In both cases, I can pass through a PCIe device but not a PCI device (->
no problem with IRQ-sharing - the PCI device has its own exclusive IRQ).
If I use iommu=pt, the passed PCIe device is broken after the VM has
been shutdown and started again.
Thank you,
kind regards,
Andreas
