Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] check IOMMU group devices usage during vfio device passthrough

Problem: ==================================================================== If a device in the same iommu group is in use by a different vm, the guest boot fails with the below error during vfio passthrough. bash-4.2$ virsh start demo error: Failed to start domain demo error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2014-12-02T13:43:52.020136Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=00:1c.3,id=hostdev0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: vfio: error opening /dev/vfio/7: Device or resource busy Solution: ===================================================================== The patch iterates through the iommu group devices and errors out cleanly mentioning the device and the guest which is using the device.
