Hi,
there is a problem with virtio-blk driven devices when
virtio-ring uses SWIOTLB through the DMA-API. This happens
for example in AMD-SEV enabled guests, where the guest RAM
is mostly encrypted and all emulated DMA has to happen
to/from the SWIOTLB aperture.
The problem is a limitation of the SWIOTLB implementation,
which does not support allocations larger than 256kb. When
the virtio-blk driver tries to read/write a block larger
than that, the allocation of the dma-handle fails and an IO
error is reported.
This patch-set adds a check to the virtio-code whether it
might be using SWIOTLB bounce buffering and limits the
maximum segment size in the virtio-blk driver in this case,
so that it doesn't try to do larger reads/writes.
Just wonder if my understanding is correct IOMMU_PLATFORM must be set
for all virtio devices under AMD-SEV guests?
Thanks
Please review.
Thanks,
Joerg
