I'm using an OS reserverd memory as DMA mapping memory, and then map it to Guest OS. at the same time, the VT-d is enabled.

As the VT-D spec indicated, I set up an identiry mapping for reserverd memory , it works well in PF, but after I change to VF, the following error log are outputted :

[ 95.030756] DRHD: handling fault status reg 2

[ 95.030764] DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [03:10.0] fault addr 0

[ 95.030766] DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set

[ 95.030787] DMAR:[DMA Write] Request device [03:10.0] fault addr 0

[ 95.030788] DMAR:[fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set

If you can provide me with more details, I might be able to help you.

What controller (NIC) are you using? What version of the driver? What specific OS are you using?

Also you need to make sure your server supporst SR-IOV. Supporting VT-d is only one part of the necessary components that the platform needs to support SR-IOV.

thanx,

Patrick
