[Zhang, Xiong Y] Indeed when I boot kernel 3.18, gpu hang don't
happen during boot process, but IOMMU DMA R/W to stolen memory
exception still exist in host dmesg.
When I boot kernel 3.19 and above, I see DMA R/W exception
in host dmesg and gpu hang. I'm lack of the knowledge to analyze the
gpu hang error. And I have updated the error into bugzilla, could you
help check whether this hang is caused by GT accessing to stolen memory
or not?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99028
and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99025
are the same issue which could be fixed by disable stolen memory.
But bisect result are different, so I think the first bad commit of
git bisect isn't accurate.

[Zhang, Xiong Y] 'commit c875d2c1b808 ("iommu/vt-d: Exclude devices
Using RMRRs from IOMMU API domains")', this commit prevent devices
associated with RMRR from passing through to guest.
'commit 18436afdc11a ("iommu/vt-d: Allow RMRR on graphics devices too")',
this commit add an exception for graphics device to above commit. So that
IGD could be assigned (pass through) to guest.
Hi, David:
The following message exists in your 18436afdc11a commit message:
"Add an exclusion for graphics devices too, so that 'iommu=pt' works
there. We should be able to successfully assign graphics devices to
guests too, as long as the initial handling of stolen memory is
reconfigured appropriately. This has certainly worked in the past."
What's the mean of "initial handling of stolen memory is reconfigured
appropriately" ? we meet guest IGD accessing stolen memory issue.
> And the fact that GuC status is still not answered even I explicitly
> asked for it.
[Zhang, Xiong Y] GuC accessing to stolen memory bypass VT-d, Kevin has
confirmed this with VPG.
I add i915.enable_guc_loading=1 and i915.enable_guc_submission=1 option, and
the dmesg demonstrate guc works when stolen memory is disabled.

[Zhang, Xiong Y] Good idea. Devices know I need RMRR, but on a native
machine, RMRR need bios support which allocate and reserve memory range
for RMRR. So RMRR need hypervisor's help in emulated environment. Only
hypervisor knows whether it support RMRR or not. In order to detect the lack
of RMRR in guest, i915 driver need to detect hypervisor. So in my last mail,
I try to use cupid(40000001) to detect hypervisor. Zhenyu think it is
unacceptable
to use cupid(40000001) in a UPT(universal pass through) driver.

[Zhang, Xiong Y] I also want to implement RMRR pass-through code at first.
But this solution is denied in my team's meeting. As kvm/qemu community
discussed this before and came to a solution:
