This looks for existance of DMAR (Intel) and IVRS (AMD) files under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/, as a sign that the platform has IOMMU present & enabled in the BIOS. If these are present and /sys/kernel/iommu_groups does not contain any entries this is taken as a sign that the kernel has not enabled the IOMMU currently. If no ACPI tables are found we can't distinguish between disabled in BIOS and not present in the hardware, so we have to give the user a generic hint. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> --- Changed in v2: - Completely refactor the check to remove false positives and cope with iommu being enabled by default - Add AMD support tools/virt-host-validate-common.c | 64 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/virt-host-validate-common.h | 3 ++ tools/virt-host-validate-qemu.c | 6 ++++ 3 files changed, 73 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c b/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c index a88fc56..38128b1 100644 --- a/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c +++ b/tools/virt-host-validate-common.c @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/utsname.h> +#include <sys/stat.h> #include <mntent.h> #include "virutil.h" @@ -341,3 +342,66 @@ int virHostValidateCGroupController(const char *hvname, return -1; return 0; } + +int virHostValidateIOMMU(const char *hvname, + virHostValidateLevel level) +{ + struct stat sb; + const char *bootarg = NULL; + bool isAMD = false, isIntel = false; + + if (virHostValidateHasCPUFlag("vmx")) + isIntel = true; + else if (virHostValidateHasCPUFlag("svm")) + isAMD = true; + else + /* XXX PPC/ARM/etc support */ + return 0; + + virHostMsgCheck(hvname, "%s", _("for device assignment IOMMU support")); + + if (isIntel) { + if (access("/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DMAR", F_OK) == 0) { + virHostMsgPass(); + bootarg = "intel_iommu=on"; + } else { + virHostMsgFail(level, + "No ACPI DMAR table found, IOMMU either " + "disabled in BIOS or not supported by this " + "hardware platform"); + return -1; + } + } else if (isAMD) { + if (access("/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/IVRS", F_OK) == 0) { + virHostMsgPass(); + bootarg = "iommu=pt iommu=1"; + } else { + virHostMsgFail(level, + "No ACPI IVRS table found, IOMMU either " + "disabled in BIOS or not supported by this " + "hardware platform"); + return -1; + } + } else { + virHostMsgFail(level, + "Unknown if this platform has IOMMU support"); + return -1; + } + + + /* We can only check on newer kernels with iommu groups & vfio */ + if (stat("/sys/kernel/iommu_groups", &sb) < 0) + return 0; + + if (!S_ISDIR(sb.st_mode)) + return 0; + + virHostMsgCheck(hvname, "%s", _("if IOMMU is enabled by kernel")); + if (sb.st_nlink <= 2) { + virHostMsgFail(level, + "IOMMU appears to be disabled in kernel.
