Hi, I'm currently using VFIO for PCI passthrough in a custom simulation, and have discovered that when I try to map IO virtual addresses larger than my host supports, VFIO happily returns 0 from the dma map ioctl, but dmesg is telling me something is wrong.
I noticed this after a few days of wondering why this specific simulation wasn't working - the simulated system is trying to setup dma addresses using 40-bits of address space, starting at 0xfffffff000 and descending, it turns out my host only support 39 bits. For example a dma map of 0xffffffd000, size 0x1000, the ioctl returns 0 (but if I inspect errno it has the value "Bad address"). Dmesg generates the error: [677414.285778] intel_iommu_map: iommu width (39) is not sufficient for the mapped address (ffffffe000) I can accept that I can't map addresses larger than my host IOMMU supports, but shouldn't VFIO report an error from the mapping? If this has been fixed in a later version please let me know, my Google-fu wasn't good enough to find much on this error. My kernel is a relatively ancient 3.13 (Ubuntu 14.04.4). Thanks, Chris
