Taking a SD-MMC controller (over PCI) as an example, following is an example sequencing, where the log-flooding happened : 0. We have a host and a guest, both running latest x86_64 kernels. 1. Host-machine is booted up (with intel_iommu=on), and the DMA-PTEs are setup for the controller (on the host), for the first time. 2. The SD-controller device is added to a (L1) guest on a KVM-VM (via virt-manager).
Isn't the domain should be switched from a default domain to an unmanaged domain when the device is assigned to the guest? Even you want to r-setup the same mappings, you need to un-map all existing mappings, right? Best regards, baolu
3. The KVM-VM is booted up. 4. Above triggers a re-setup of DMA-PTEs on the host, for a second time. It is observed that the new PTEs formed (on the host) are same as the original PTEs, and thus following logs, accompanied by stacktraces, overwhelm the logs : ...... DMAR: ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN 0x428ec already set (to 3f6ec003 not 3f6ec003) DMAR: ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN 0x428ed already set (to 3f6ed003 not 3f6ed003) DMAR: ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN 0x428ee already set (to 3f6ee003 not 3f6ee003) DMAR: ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN 0x428ef already set (to 3f6ef003 not 3f6ef003) DMAR: ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN 0x428f0 already set (to 3f6f0003 not 3f6f0003) ...... As the PTEs are same, so there is no cause of concern, and we can easily avoid the logs-flood for this non-error case.
