25 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L25> What is RMRR? 26 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L26> ------------- 27 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L27> 28 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L28> There are some devices the BIOS controls, for e.g USB devices to perform 29 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L29> PS2 emulation. The regions of memory used for these devices are marked 30 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L30> reserved in the e820 map. When we turn on DMA translation, DMA to those 31 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L31> regions will fail. Hence BIOS uses RMRR to specify these regions along with 32 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L32> devices that need to access these regions. OS is expected to setup 33 <http://www.cs.fsu.edu/%7Ebaker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/Documentation/Intel-IOMMU.txt#L33> unity mappings for these regions for these devices to access these regions.
So what type of your NIC? Is on-board device or a plug in device? Thanks, Michael On 5/20/2015 3:24 AM, Assaad, Sami (Sami) wrote: > Hello Michael, > > I've updated the kernel and QEMU.
